Week 3 Blog Reviews

Krista:
Your first blog about Ideas and Thoughts being somewhat intertwined was a very good way to look at it. Although thoughts and ideas are not exactly the same, they do have similar bases and this was a good thing to point out. I also enjoyed reading about the conscious and subconscious aspects of ideas and thoughts. Your whole post was very well thought out and written with great thought.

Your second blog about computers being smarter than humans was also very well thought out. It was great to mention what computers were like not even 20 years ago and what they have turned into now. This perspective really made me think about technological advancements over the years and what technology will turn into in the future. I agree with you that machines will never advance over humans. Emotions are a huge part of human beings, and since computers will never have emotions, they will not be able to advance us.

Lauren Angulo:
Your blog about what thoughts and ideas are had great references to the text in it. I agree that thoughts include both philosophy and science, but I do think that you can define what a thought is and what an idea is. It may be difficult to come to a definite definition of what a thought and an idea are, but in my opinion, it is possible. I do completely agree with you that the ability to think is one of the greatest elements that make us human. Our ability to think is what makes us individual and unique, and therefore makes us all different.

The way you addressed both sides of the argument about if computers will surpass humans was a great way to show your thoughts on the issue. Explaining different views really shows knowledge about the subject, and therefore helps enforce your opinion. I completely agree with you that computers will not ever have the capabilities that humans have, and because of this, will never advance human beings. You were very descriptive in your post and this made you seem very knowledgeable about the subject. I really enjoyed reading it!
