Artificial Intelligence

I find myself behind on technology just like the asgar clip states. It is very hard staying up with the latest technology from Cd's to ipods to iPhone it keeps on going. I get use to doing the same thing and sometimes the first is the best. Technology is great and it will be interesting to see what inventions they will come out with in the next 50 years. I think it would be good if they just slowed down a bit and before all of the technology causes us to have an apocalypse like on terminator.

This movie is a great movie. It is terminator II judgement day this is a movie in which technology ends up taking over the world. The computers and robots kill humans and cause mass-hysteria. It causes an atom-bomb war when the entire world blows each other up. This is an example to the extreme but it is a good example. This is why I think we should slow down the development of technology to learn repercussions first.

Thomas Barnett points out some very intersting ways in which war and peace should be separated. One of his comments was, "you can't expect to fight a war one day and have peace the next." That is very true in many ways of life not only with the soldiers but with everyday people. You can't beat up a friend and expect them to like you the next day. His concepts aren't completely widely know, or comprehendable to the average person. His idea of seperating the department of defense into two different branches is a great in my opinion. I think his method would greatly reduce the number of casulties in war, both civilan and soldiers. I do like the way that he uses a sense of humor to entertain you, and keep you intersted in his topic. It is a great Ted talk.
