Carr, Nicholas. "Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains."

I'm haunted by that scene in

2001

. What makes it so poignant, and

so weird, is the computer's emotional

response to the disassembly of its

mind: its despair as one circuit after

another goes dark, its childlike

pleading with the astronaut—"I can

feel it. I can feel it. I'm afraid"—and

its final reversion to what can only be

called a state of innocence. HAL's

outpouring of feeling contrasts with

the emotionlessness that characterizes

the human figures in the film, who go

about their business with an almost

robotic efficiency. Their thoughts and

actions feel scripted, as if they're

following the steps of an algorithm.

In the world of

2001

, people have

become so machinelike that the most

human character turns out to be a

machine. That's the essence of

Kubrick's dark prophecy: as we come

to rely on computers to mediate our

understanding of the world, it is our

own intelligence that flattens into

artificial intelligence.

in "letter from a birmingham jail," king argues that there are four basic steps in any nonviolent campaign: "[c]ollection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action." finally, direct action is taken and acts such as boycotts and sit-ins are staged.

halloween: it’s my favorite holiday

halloween is one of the best holidays for some people but it can also be scary for others. halloween is a holiday where some people believe spirits and soul of the dead that haven’t moved on will come back again to haunt the lives of the living. this is why many people dress up in costumes to disguise themselves as someone else. some people like us wish to be something that we would benefit in life from. like angels of god. some dress up just to be unique from the others. many families stay home and watch scary movies and others dress in their tremendous costumes and knock on each door to either get a trick or a treat.

personally everybody loves halloween because i could be someone else one day out of the year. it’s fun and entertaining, especially for kids. halloween also has a lot of history. many myths and beliefs say that witches and warlocks are alive and living among us. is this a trick or a truthful treat?

halloween may have secrets and scary things behind the door but we love halloween and it is beautiful to see how happy children are when each door opens full of treats and goodies. it makes everyone happy. happy halloween day.

happy to .
