"Critical Thinking Blog #5"

  I've taken Critical Thinking class during my last semester. In fact, many essays that we read were more based on facts. Also, as a current student of LaGuardia Community College we use many devices everyday. Basically technology such as, using cell phones, cameras, or any other techno- romantic devies are useful. In our English 101 class we have read an article based on "Cloning", and "Artificial Intelligence". The essay "A number" written by: Caryl Churchill is a piece of fictional story of  Human Cloning, and the lives of Fictional characters.

Sample Research Paper!

Today I learned that for the reaserch paper, the grade would be better if we use cites in the paragraphs. Also, in the research paper we must put a tittle in order to make the reader attracted to our writing.

Sharing a Research Paper Source!

                    My topic is based on the film "The Notebook". Last summer i was watching this movie, and i came across the topic of 'Alzsheimer'. It was very important for me to learn about this disease. I found an article on JSTOR, suggesting the pro's, and cons of the disease. I can't find the Source, but when i do i'll just post it again!

“Critical Thinking Blog Assignment #1”

                Many of us have opinions about technology that can be classified along the spectrum of being a “optimist” or a “pessimist” meaning the categorizations that reflect our general attitude about our technological past, present, and future. In fact, I am more on the side of the pessimists, though not completely so. As for the long term, while I have concerns about people cutting themselves off from real life though technology, when it comes right down to it, there are signs that people see the importance of saving our planet and its resources. Technology has surely provided us with means for improving our lives. Such as, medical technology has improved the length of our lives, people in wealthy nations often have access to cheap electricity and food, and the Internet allows us to communicate with people all over the world. However, all of this belongs to the fulfillment of  technology. As (Kurzweil) argues that through the advances of machines we will begin to have relationships with ‘robots’ and their personalities and use them  as e.g. teachers, and lovers. As a result, the distinction between us  humans, and computers will have become sufficiently blurred that when the machines claim to be conscious, we will believe them.
