Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is being cruel to others by sending or posting harmful material using a cell phone or the internet. Posting harmfull material on Facebook or creating a website about somebody that contains harmfull material is an example of cyberbullying.

I found the article about a girl from Florida very saddening. Cyberbullying is a terrible thing that causes many suicides among teenagers. Those kids from middle school don't know  what consequences a cyberbullying can have. This girl from Florida was just another victim Cyberbullying has caused her to take such measures. She left home for school leaving everything behind. She wrote goodbyes to her friends and then she jumped from a high abandoned cement plant. Young people such her take all the insults very personally until they can't deal with it anymore and taking their own lives. No teenager should take away their life away because of some dumb kids' insults. But sadly this is reality where people have gone mad. It is either cyberbullying or shooting that takes away lives of the innocent. I think it will never end even with all the interventions. It is like a drug war. It is constantly fought but the bad is still out there. It is just the world we live in.

AI and Robotics

I think that robots can't do what humans can, because there are things that only humans were made for. However robots can do a lot what humans cannot becuase they were made for this purpose. They do it more efficiently.
I think that humans are more likely to make errors, but sometimes even robots make an error and it is not their fault. It means that a robot was not programmed correctly by a human.
I think that a drone delivery Amazon is working on is a great idea, but i think that this will never workout. For me it is just another great idea that will never be used on a large scale at least not now or for a very long time. This is something that is very risky and based on todays technology it might be just to expensive to make. For me technology is great but sometimes it is just too much. I just don't see myself looking at a sky and see hundreds of drones flying above me with packages.
