Hi, I'm Jimena! I´m going to answer question # 2.

By Jimena Rivadeneira, MA. TEFL.
Hi I am Mylady and I will answer question b, I think that the astronauts were surprised and confused when that message appeared on the computer telling them that they were not going to mars but that they had to return to earth to help the poor but they did not do it. I believe that computers will dominate in the future because every day new technology replaces what we humans do in order to make our lives easier
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm Jordan! I´m going to answer question # 3.
ResponderEliminarIt is never good to ask for something with threats
I think there are other ways, for example through donations, so it is not good to ask for something through threats.
Hi, I'm Steven! I´m going to answer question 2.
ResponderEliminarPossibly yes, because artificial intelligence is being developed and it can happen.
Hi, I'm Katherine! I´m going to answer question # 2.
ResponderEliminarPossibly yes, because there have been several technological advances throughout history such as artificial intelligence as well and just as this computer wanted not to give money to the poor, dangerous things can happen.
Hi, I'm Edinson! I'm going to answer question #1.
ResponderEliminarI think is OK because actually some transition of money is realized through machines like a cash machine or in the computer of banks have an algorithm who decides if a person is qualified or not for loans.
Hi, I'm Pamela Soledispa! and I'm going to answer question #3. It's not correct, because we can put afraid in the people. We can ask for money more polite and direct way than use the threats. It's anti ethic.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm Omar I´m going to answer question # 2
ResponderEliminarYes, but not the computers themselves, but the artificial intelligences would dominate the world because they would be in charge of finding a more optimal way to govern us in the most efficient way.
Hi,I’m Karla! I’m going to answer question #4
ResponderEliminarBecause we all keep all of our information on a computer and this can be a weapon if it comes to life, since your computer knows all of our secrets.
hey, I´m Cristina! I´m going to answer question N° 4
ResponderEliminarI think that the computerhead has access to the worlwide so it can find very fast the information of all.
Hi, I'm Jusleyner! I will answer question # 5. I imagine flying cars, a battle between machines and men, the government completely destroyed, perhaps dead.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm Estefania! I'm going to answer the last question.
ResponderEliminarThey choose Mr. Smith as their objective because computerhead knew Mr. Smith and used to help him kill people so computerhead wanted to do something good for humanity.
Hi I'm Lissette
ResponderEliminarI will answer question d, I think that all information that is entered on the internet is not public and anyone can have access to it, so it is essential not to share personal information on it.
Hi, I'm Patricia! I'm going to answer question #5.
ResponderEliminarI would think the pandemic is over, maybe the cure for cancer, advanced technology and maybe a newcellphone with long-lasting battery
Hi, I am Sara! I am going to answer question b
ResponderEliminarI think that the computer is a great help to humans, but it cannot be an independent machine by itself, because they are programmed by humans. Computers can dominate technology by being the most used machine in the world but it will always depend on the human mind.
Hi, I'm John! I'm going to answer question #6
ResponderEliminarI think a reason is that Mr Smith is a person who killed people and Computerhead wants him to do good actions.
Hi, I'm Manuel! I´m going to answer question # 1.
ResponderEliminarNo, because What is telling us the computer can take better decisions about the economic situation of a city than us?
Hi, I'm Anderson Tenenuela! I'm going to answer question #5 I believe that for this year there will be great advances, such as flying cars, or cell phones integrated into our body or perhaps a computer as president.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm meghan! I´m going to answer question # 1.
ResponderEliminarI dont think that it is wrong if the machines and computers can handle our money since this way we can avoid some errors and perhaps avoid a bit of corruption.
Hi, I'm Danelly! I´m going to answer question # 5. In 2030, I imagine the world with the greatest technological advance, where social interactions take place through digital means and there are better cell phones and computers. In addition, computers would perform human tasks and this could lead to higher unemployment.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm Giuliana! I'm going to answer question # 5.
ResponderEliminar¿How do you imagine the world by 2030?
I imagine the planet in 2030 with more technology, and maybe also more contamined
Hi, I´m Graciela! I´m going to answer question # 1
ResponderEliminarI think the computer does not decide this, because it is a decision for thinking humans.
Question # 2
I think the experience´s astronauts is surprise, because the computers control his trip and not permited follow him. It´s bad!
Hi, I'm Michelle Macias! I'm going to answer question 5.
