Blog assignment# 8


I’ve always been thinking about the negative impact of robotics and human cloning, but I’ve never thought about its positive effect on our lives. If in the future there will be robots to control the work and help other human beings and then may be everybody can lose their job since there are robots to make everything is easier. Human cloning sometime can be beneficial for some reason but it also can make someone lose their personality and identity. In the present world science as achieved such a high level and new inventions of technology is growing day by day. But it will take a time for our technology to reach the level of perfection so cloning of human being doesn’t harm us and robotics won’t take place of every human being. Robots and human cloning has its own advantages and disadvantages but we just have to use it in a right way that it doesn’t harm human lives. No matter what we should not acknowledge the results of something even if it’s beneficial.

         At the present time science has achieved such a high level that it became possible for scientists and researchers to clone human beings. it has become huge concern. Caryl Churchill's play A Number explores the complexity of the issue of human cloning. In the play father who is Salter clones his own son for his own need. In the play it seems that Churchill is pessimistic about human cloning. In the play the author writes, “They’ve damaged your uniqueness, weakened your identity” (Churchill 151). It shows that Churchill is concerned about human identity. By writing this statement he suggests us that nobody has right to clone human beings, scientists and researchers can't use humans as research material. Cloning human beings challenges our quality of being human and our personality. 
 Based on this; Human cloning should be banned as soon as possible because creating humans will make us lose the importance of being human. Researchers and scientists, who clone human beings for their need; should be punished, Although technology is trying to convince us to be part of human cloning, it will be safe and good for us not be part of this antisocial behavior. 

advice for future students


Hey future students, all I want to tell is you hopefully you guys will do all the work prof. Dragan gives and that will lead you to have accepted grades for Eng103. He is always been fare to everyone and he helps whenever you are having some kind of trouble understanding something. It is really great experience to do research paper; it will help you in the future to prepare any kind of paper. So good luck to all of you, make sure you guys submit all the work on time so that you can get good grades. Just concentrate in class and you will understand all the sources you need to understand. Always do the work before the due date so you don’t have to worry about it on the last day.

Blog assignment#6


                Kurzweil is optimistic about artificial intelligence. In the singularity is near the author writes, “machines can pool their resources in a ways that humans cannot” (Kurzweil 139). By writing this statement he means that machine memory is way to faster than human’s. Robots can make everything easy in our lives.
In Dream-Logic, the internet and artificial thought the author writes, “the man actually sees and senses a rose in his mind; he can imagine its color, feel and fragrance but for the computer, no imaginary rose exists and there is no inner mental world; there is only a blank" (Gelernter 207). By writing this statement the author meant that no matter what computer can never become stronger than humans, in the sense they can't never act the way human body and brain works. Humans have ability to sense things; computers will never be able to sense things the way human does. The feelings and emotions humans have; computers can't reach it, because the inventors of computers are humans.

My ENG103 research plan#1


Based on several sources, I will argue that the portrayal of autism in the film Temple Grandin is largely accurate in its depiction of Grandin's difficulties with emotions, social relationships and in its depiction of her powerful gift visualization and became as successful as normal people. I still have to find relevant book to my topic, but I’m trying my best to find one. I want to use one of essays from jstore, so I can use it as my source. These two sources are hard for me to find it, but I am still trying my best to find those sources.

research paper source

"Temple Grandin-conversations from penn state." Youtube. 20 April 2010. 10 November 2011.

This is related to my topic, so i would like to use this as one of my source.

Blog assignment#5


When it comes to robotics, I am more pessimistic. No doubt it makes everything a lot easier for us, but still in the future it creates a huge problem for humans. If everybody start using robots as their helper, than what will humans do? How are they going to feed their families and themselves? Gelernter writes, “no computer will be able to think like a man unless it can free-associate" (Gelernter 202). This statement is true; computer is technology that humans invented. It can never think the way humans do. Gelernter also writes," as each of us is surrounded by a growing crowd of computer-paparazzi all shouting questions and waving data simultaneously, and no security guards anywhere?" (Gelernter 202). It means that we are getting surrounded by new technology every day. Invention of technology is growing day by day and there is no body to control it. It is better for humans to get new technology in control before it changes our lives in a negative way.
