the thinkers' edge: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

I agree with scientist Ray Kuruweil saying that AI could be the next step to evolution. The biggest difference I feel there is between human thinking and artificial intelligence is human emotion and that AI lacks free will and a spiritual dimension. I feel that creating AI could have very negative outcomes of the human race because when is AI to intelligent for example the movie I Robot. I see it as something that could take lot of jobs and could lower peoples intelligence because people wouldn’t need to know things even AI did everything for you. So i see AI as an negative effect of human technology.

the thinkers' edge: THE MOZART EFFECT

After reading "The Mozart Effect" I would agree with the author. I believe that what kind of music you choose to listen to comes from the mood your in, and that music can greatly change your mood. I enjoy almost all types of music. My favorite type of music is rock, but I have learned that I can't listen to that type of music and do school work. The music distraces me, so I lisen to softer, slower music. The only kind of music I don't like or listen to much is heavy metal.
