So the following video is the first draft of my Mashup Video. It covers the topic of gay rights and marriage. It starts with an anti-gay sentiment in video clips and pictures and then presents the idea that not everyone thinks like this. I then transition to pro-gay rights/sentiment, and it explores the idea that people are becoming more and more accepting as the generations evolve and mature. The ending shows my position on the topic, in hopes of reaching the LGBT community and presenting them with the message that even thought I am not apart of the LGBT community, I still support the campaign for equality in marriage, and in life.
Robots have never been a very welcomed idea in my mind. I have tossed around the idea that one day, teachers may be out of a job. In fact, everyone might be out of a job. But, who didn't have the childish dream of having a robot to do your homework or get you a snack when you asked for one. And what about that Disney Channel Original Movie, SmartHouse, where the house did everything for you, including clean up spills, wake you up with a video and music mash-up, and knew exactly what you wanted for a snack when you got back to school. But just like the disaster that this SmartHouse ended in, I feel as if the future, which may lie in the hands of robots, will lead to disaster as well. Bill Joy, author of "Why the Future Doesn't Need Us," is not convinced that robots are a good idea, either. Bill Joy has spent the last 25 years working on computer networking. He states that this is a field where there is an opportunity for out-of-control replication. But he also states that this replication can do no further damage than taking down a network for a few hours, or disabling a specific machine. He worries that the opportunity for replication in newer technologies can lead to damage in the physical world.
Joy brings up the fact that while in the midst of change and discovery, it is hard to see the global impact that these changes are making. He says that this is a common flaw that scientists and technologists possess. With the way that the world is today, he is afraid of all the changes that are taking place every day. He knows that the global impact on the future is going to be extensive. Bill Joy, at the age of 10, was certain that humans were going to have a future in space. He did not, however, imagine a world where robots would be ruling, and natural selection was no longer an issue. As for myself, at the age of 10, I couldn’t even grasp the concept of time and space and robots scared the living daylights out of me. But turns out, this may be my future. |
