The electric guitar is a great way to express who i am because it always make an extraordinary sound. when people think of the electric guitar some people think it's annoying and some think it's amazing i think it's a mystery because the sound the guitar makes is a way to express peoples feelings.

1. Should roboticists (those who make robots) avoid making robots that think and feel like humans? Why or why not?i think that they shouldn't make robots that think like humans because they wouldn't be able to under stand or have the feeling of being a real human. so i say that roboticists should probably not make robots that act like humans.

2. Should some robots be given human rights? For example, the right not to be tortured, to be allowed to marry, to be educated, and to be free to practice a religion?i think they should if they won't to be human why not give them the full experience of being one. they would probably be good humans.

a) Did either of the machines come close to passing the Turing Test (did they seem human?)the machines are funny and cool they didn't seem human because i ask it some questions like what is your gender? and it said girl then we talk and i asked the question again and the machine said boy.The machines are smart but not so smart that you would say their human.

b) What were some of the questions you asked them? Why?i asked whats there favorite colors?do you go to your friends house alot?are you the first one in school? what are your favorite foods?i asked these questions because only humans can really have emotions and answer with their own opinion.

c) Why do you think it’s so hard to design a machine that passes the Turing Test?because the machines have to be programed to answer to what ever is told to them and machines are really hard to program because it not like a human is on the other end of the computer talking to you.

boy friend story

2011-06-15T08:55:00.000-07:00

I am sorry that i broke into your account .

the reason i did that was because i saw

complement and i was curious about why he was

saying such a complement so i wanted to see if you

have been talking to him a lot so i tried to read your

conversations with him so that's why i broke into your account .

I just wanted to say sorry an that i had no business doing that

i should have gave you some privacy. i also should have asked

you about him and I'm sorry.

1) What was a memorable story, video, or quote you saw? the story when the boy got hurt when he was going to work. that was really sad.

2) If you could speak out to a group of homophobes (those who hate gay people) what would you say to them? Well i would tell them that everyone is human and people shouldn't be judged by who or what they are. saying that you hate someone when you don't know them is wrong you don't judge a book by it's cover.Everyone deserves to be who they want. Everyone has feelings and when people call other people names they are hurting those feelings. The wurst thing about it is that people are getting hurt because of this. I think people should just let other people be who or what or what they are and just forget about it.

the break up girlfriend story

2011-05-25T08:46:00.000-07:00

the reason i am breaking up with you is because you don't trust me

and you broke into my account. when you broke into my account that

says that you don't have any respect for me or who i am that's called being

a jerk and i sorry to say this but it's over . And i know you said sorry but that

still doesn't change the fact that you don't trust me and i can't be with someone

that doesn't trust me. sorry but we're done.

1) How is Ayiti different from 3rd World Farmer? How is it the same? Well 3rd world farmer is different Ayiti because it is more about farming and it doesn't really have things like hospitals and things like that and the kids don't go to school. But Ayiti is more focused on the family and having a good living. Ayiti kind of explains how some Ayiti people live. It's the same because both of the games have charters that are put on a place where the can work on farms and earn money.

2) What strategies did you use? For example, did you combine work and school, or did you send everyone to work? Which worked? Which did not? Some of the strategies that i used were to sen the kids to school and put the parents to work. i didn't send the whole family because then no one would have an education.putting the parents to work was good but working them to hard would make them unhappy and they will get sick.

3) Why would parents choose to devote so much effort to sending their children to school? What obstacles did you face in trying to keep them in school? Well parents would devote a lot of effort into keeping their kids in school because they didn't have that much of a good living and they had to keep their kids in school in order to be happy and have an education.some of the obstacles i had to face while trying to keep them in school were them getting sick and hurricane season would be difficult.

4. What would the game “Lower East Side: The Cost of Life” look like? What choices would your family have to make to be happy, healthy, have money, and be well-educated. What obstacles would stand in your way?I think the game would have a lot of tall buildings. some choices we would make is to make the parents work and make sure the kids go to school and don't work everyone so hard make sure we eat a lot of vegetables so we can be very healthy. Some of the problems we would have is to make a goo d living.

If you were able to speak to the group, what would you say to them to inspire them to keep going?i would say why give up and make your selves look weak everyone has the power to win they just have to find it.You guys haven't gone throw all this trouble to give up now think about your family's and how they suffered.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie?i think that the workers are going to try and get noticed.

2010-10-22T06:39:00.000-07:00
