Facebook and Google have open-sourced both A.I. software and hardware. Since the iPhone, there have been personal digital assistants that are used in our everyday lives such as Siri, Google NOW, and Cortana. But along with all of this innovation there is controversy on the potential of A.I. and how to stop it if it reaches a point of intelligence higher than humans.</span></span><br />

Watch a movie or two. Answer this question: <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Why should I care about coding? </b><br />
<br />
Movie 1 - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0qAjgQFR4c" target="_blank"><b>How to teach yourself to code</b></a>. (Yes its long, but it's really informative. Watch it all or watch parts of it. You will learn a lot about coding in general.) Why should you care about coding?<br />
<br />
Movie 2 - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvAsqPbz9Ro" target="_blank"><b>How do you start to program?</b></a> We saw this parts of this movie in class. Lots of different perspectives. Why should you care about coding?<br />
<br />
Movie 3 -<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvK0UzFNw1Q" target="_blank">Don't learn to code, Learn to solve problems</a>.</b> Crazy guy, straight talk. Why should you care about coding?<br />
<br />
Follow the directions about blog homework: 100 to 200 well written words. Critically think about the movie you watched, reference the some of the information you viewed, and write about how the information might apply to you personally. <br />
<br />
One question: <b style="text-align: center;">Why should I care about coding? </b><br />

Just a few years ago, people found out about major news events on the TV Nightly News. If it was a major event, it may have appeared on all channels immediately. The information was usually limited and most people waited until they read all about it in the newspaper the next morning.<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> There was a world wide tragic event recently. What was it? How did you find out about it?<br />
<br />
<b>2) </b>Research a bit about how social media and technology changed the way we learn about and view events impacting our lives. Comment on what you think about <b>what you discovered by watching the video <i>and</i> reading a few links:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>3) </b>How do you find out about what's going on? TV or radio? An iphone app? A news app? Twitter? Facebook? Or? Do you think your way is the best or most honest?<br />

<br />
1. Explore. In your own words, share what have you found about <a href="https://digiteen.wikispaces.com/" target="_blank">digital citizenship</a>.<br />
<br />
2. Visit: <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/youthandmediaalpha/publications/videos/borndigital/" target="_blank">Youth and Media</a> Watch a few movies. Comment on one or two. Name the title(s) and share your thoughts. <br />
<br />
3. What do you think of this:<br />
You find a song you love, go to pirate bay and copy it. It's yours. Yeah. A few weeks later,<br />
you and a few friends jam and make the most awesome song ever. So great that, itunes/ Playstore both promote it for you to sell. You could make some bank. Anyone that downloads it you will make $1.00. But very few buy it. It's pirated everywhere though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-46911177525719810072015-10-25T15:35:00.002-07:002015-10-25T15:43:40.259-07:0011.
