novel? Some may argue to say not, but here is my argument on how he does in fact change very much, in this novel, ‘The Giver’. For starters, we see that Jonas used to be like most everyone else in ‘the community’; emotionless and very much sheltered - robots. Although all of that had changed once he had became the ‘Receiver of Memories’, a very high honored job of utmost respect. Before I pitch my main points, let’s talk a bit more about what ‘the community’ is like, and who exactly Jonas is. We…
Will using robots as caregivers help or damage relationships within the family? Most developed countries are experiencing increased ageing dramatically. The number of ageing population in the U.S. is rising as more baby boomers advance in age.

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is a robot that has the capacity to “think” and make its own decisions. Personally I can’t really choose if I am in favor or against this invention because I think an AI would be pretty cool and helpful in our day to day life like Samantha in Her. It or she would function on her own accord by the needs of Theodore and would make is life so much easier like read his mails when they arrive and at the morning and so much other things, in my opinion…

Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) explores us to a future humanity full of intelligent machines. Throughout the movie, it is debated whether the “mecha” (robots) are as real as the “orga” (humans). This parallels the debate today on whether machines have the ability to truly know things the same way that we can, or whether they are only capable of doing what we program them to. The problem is the definition of knowing; it can be applied to shared knowledge as well as…
Between the two films there are many themes that have evolved. The film techniques manipulate us by thinking the movie had evolved but in my opinion, Avatar is more evolved than District 9. They are both believable movies, however Avatars technology and the human knowledge is more advanced and evolved than District 9. District 9 has evolved weaponry and governance but the human technology and genetic transformation is yet to be discovered. Us, humans, are still way behind the evolution of…

Robots are becoming more capable and artificial-intelligence gets smarter every day. It is getting to the point where robots are cheaper to employ than humans, which will displace many from their jobs. “It seems undeniable that over the past 20 years the advanced nations have experienced technological…
