Week 3 Blog Reviews

Kim Kida
I was unable to critique.


Krista Sigala
BLOG 1: The title "Genius Computer" was very creative. She had a good opening paragraph, which stated what Minksy beliefs were, which was part of the assignment. I really liked how she related her past personal experience of her first time with a computer. Relating what she saw back then, to the things that exist today was a very good point. We shared the same idea that whether they can surpass the human brain is questionable. She clearly started that technology does hold some advantages of how much they can accomplish, but ended the paragraph well by saying that surpassing humans is questionable. Condluding her blog with her personal belief that computers won't be able to surpass humans because of things like feeling and small things that go unoticed was good. I also really liked how she ended her blog with a question, leaving the reader to contemplate about the points she just made.


BLOG 2: The overall flow of this blog was really good. She made a point that she feels that all ideas are thoughts, but not all thoughts are ideas, which I think could be true. She also made a good point that our ideas and thoughts assist our intelligence to progress further and our desire to continually learn and progress. Overall both blogs had really good points made and were written well.

BLOG 1: The first two paragraphs are very informing and strictly about Minsky's beliefs. I also agree with her that computers will not surpass the human brains and they are not capable of having emotions like humans. The main reason she thinks computers will not surpass humans is because emotions, she says since emotions can lead to so many other actions, the act that computers lack emotions sets them behind humans. I like that in the condluding paragraph, she stated that Minksy had some good points, but also stated her own beliefs as well.

BLOG 2: I really liked the first paragraph of "Any Ideas?" To start off both paragraphs with the definition of an idea and a thought was very informing. I do agree that people take personal pride in ideas., and depending on the type of idea, I also agree that morals can reflect or change it. To say that a variety of things can morph off of an idea and lead to different events was a very good point. I liked how she ended by saying that an individuals thoughts and ideas could possibly change someones life.
