Look at all the fiction out there warning us what happens when machines become "self-aware". They have a self, and therefore become self-ish, no longer functioning for our interests as "designed". On a writer-ly note, what is your fascination with 50 years? That timespan shows up twice in this entry without any sort of hard factual reason.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016424301349031208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11479248.post-38046361586073443452009-12-04T22:19:24.236-06:002009-12-04T22:19:24.236-06:00And it gets to the point where many technologies a...And it gets to the point where many technologies are advertised in Christmas lists.<br /><br />I, for instance, would like a digital radio and a Kindle.<br /><br />Yes, in the 2000s, there were more educational toys like the Leapfrog.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11479248.post-29158682353426312832009-12-04T13:00:17.083-06:002009-12-04T13:00:17.083-06:00Your essay is intriguing and thought-provoking.

I enjoyed your description surrounding artificial intelligence. I was able to follow your more complex ideas (like the ones about artificial intelligence) because you explained and identified simpler ideas prior to it. From your essay I gather that you enjoy this increase in technology and look forward to a day where you can focus on your passions instead of the "betterment of our lives" - very good.Sarah G.noreply@blogger.com
