Artifact 4

I found the first video to be very interesting.  At the same time, it was kind of creepy.  The girl was so life-like with the eyes, skin, hair, teeth and mouth.  It is scary to see how much like humans they are.  It was also just weird to see that around the world people are making these Droids.  In the video they were going through somewhat of a test run on the Droid.  What will these Droids being doing for us?  Are they also going to take away actual communication between real people?  Will there be Droids conducting business meetings or teaching classes?  Will they be working assembly lines in factories?  Just seeing that short of a video clip on the Droids really makes you wonder all of the possibilities.  Will they soon be all around our world?  This may be the future we will see or our children will see. 

The second video was also interesting to me.  It should the manual pencil sharpener and the title was asking if this was old fashioned or not.  I believe in some ways this is old fashioned but in other ways it is not.  People use pencils every day so therefore they need a way to sharpen them.  Sometimes using this kind of sharpener is easier because they are small and silent opposed to the electronic sharpeners.  In the aspect of the pencil sharpener being old fashioned, there have been newer inventions for pencil sharpeners, like I mentioned the electronic sharpener earlier.  These sharpeners are a one-step process compared to the two-step sharpener in the video.  I think many individuals want the easiest way to do things and would prefer the one-step sharpener over this one.  Maybe in the future this will become very outdated like a record player or 8 track player, but for now, I do not think that these are old fashioned.

  1. Yea looks like we have the Terminator coming at us! I think that people should stop making droids because they are pointless...on Earth. All the droids are going to do is take over what humans are already doing so I have to agree with you. I would say make droids to send outer space so that if the ship explodes or something goes wrong the droid would die not a human. An lets say that we do let droids live amongst us in the future as slaves. What are we going to do if the droids becomse so realistic that they want droid rights! I would say science should spend their money on making medicines and helping people not trying to make people.
