Cyber bullying

As we get more advanced on the internet and start to do all of our communication with another on the internet it gives people the ability to "hide" as they bully someone. Cyber bullying is when someone harasses another person online through social networks, emails, etc. it has become a huge problem because now that everyone resorts to doing everything online it includes bashing someone and bullying them not only surfing the web and checking twitter. It is sad that it took a girl too take her life for schools to take is seriously and now schools are starting to watch their students online and try to manage the bullying/stalking of other students. This is a huge problem that is only getting bigger and hopefully we can find a way to put a stop to it.

AI and Robotics

With the way technology is advancing we are looking for new ways every single day to make use of technology and try to make our everyday life as simple as possible. Robots becoming the main work force of this country will happen eventually but are we ready for that to happen right now? I'm not sure because we still have a lot of questions about the present technology that we are using. Robots will be able to do what humans do but to a certain point there are certain thing that we do that just can not be duplicated into a robot. In the article "When Robots kill" there is a valid point about who the blame goes on because no matter how advanced the robots get at the end of the day they were made by humans and humans make mistakes so then if the robot makes a mistake who gets the blame? I can't see a way we can blame the robots because they are programmed into doing what we tell them to but then do we blame who made them, who asked for them to be made, or who is using them? Only time will tell on how we will handle this but until then we try to build the robots who will eventually replace us if we depend on them for to much.
