Cyberbullying

Cyber bullying is bullying through instant messaging, web site post, email, tweet, or digital messages and images send to a cellular phone. It involves negative action against someone or imbalance of power and agression. Children involved in cyber bullying often feel tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated and embarrassed. Children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyber bullying incident. For example, the article " Girl's Suicide Points to Rise in Apps Used by Cyberbullies," talks about the a 12-year-old girl who was driven to suicide after being maligned, threatened and taunted online through texting and photo sharing cellphone apps. She was the youngest teen to commint suicide as a result of 15 middle school children who urged her to kill herself.  

AI and Robotics

I think robots can do what humans do but only to a certain extend. Task like mass production at a factory or company data input can be easily handeled by robots, but other task that requires thinking (moral thinking) should be left for humans to complete. If a robot is programmed only to do a certain task then it will less likely make error than human. For example, if a robot is programmed to carry out a function requiring it to sort out materials it would not make much error because it only needs to carry out that task. Whereas, humans are more likely to make an error because we are programmed to do much more than that. The article" Drone entrepreneur Chris Anderson is skeptical about Amazon's drone delivery plan," talks about Amazon drone possible having problems. The drones that they created are programmed to carryout deliver of parcels, but they have yet to program it to avoid ostacles along its path. If that same parcel was to be delivered by a human being, it'd be in our nature to avoid obstacles. Hence, proving my point that robots are not able to do something they aren't programmed to do even if it's considered " common sense" for us humans.
