SELFIE

Selfie. A common word that many individuals from different gender and ages use. It is known as a photograph  taken by oneself through a smart phone. This word has been so popular that it has became one of the new vocabulary in the Oxford Dictionary!

The art of taking a selfie has transformed our culture in many ways. It influenced us to perfect on the way we take our photos. People took taking a selfie to a whole new level. A selfie stick has been invented. This device allow individuals to take a pictures of themselves and able to take a wider photo including the background and others who want to be part of it. I find that the person who created this was a genius because now people do not have to struggle to take a photo. For instance, if you wanted to take a group photo with the scenery and no one is there to take the picture for you, a selfie stick can be used as an extra arm.

I do not think the selfie stick should be banned because it is not a much of a safety hazard. There has been no news on how a selfie stick is dangerous. Yes, you are able to hit someone by accident with the stick, but it I don't think it would get to the point where it will severely injure the individual. I think the selfie stick was invented for enjoyment and to be able to take pictures of breath taking scenes. Therefore, I see no problem with this invention because it is just a stick that you can connect your smart phone to.

The Future

What is artificial intelligence? It is the development of computer systems able to perform tasks that a human is able to do. Since our society has been advancing in technology, scientists have created a way for jobs to be done more quicker and efficient. The solution is robots. A robot in today's society is able to think like the human brain. In my opinion, without robots we would not be able to live the way we are living now. For instance, military robots were created in order to perform extremely dangerous tasks. Without the military robots, many soldiers are at a higher risk of endangering themselves.

Although artificial intelligence can positively help our society, it has its cons. If we keep on depending on technology, we may end up not doing anything at all. For example, the robots in a factory helping to package products. Why do we need a robot to do this if we are capable of doing so. Simple, we are lazy. Our intelligence has becoming replaced with what a robot is capable of doing. We may lose jobs just because of technology. Technology is so powerful that it can prevent you from working because a machine can do the job better and more faster. This is quite scary because imagine a world with robots everywhere. Our world would be under the control of a machine.

I understand that our world has becoming much more advanced, but we should not always depend on artificial intelligence. Why spend thousands of dollars on new technology, when we have our own brains capable of doing the work. Im not one hundred percent against this matter, I just hope in the near future we do not become lazier than we are now.
