Talking machines

Comment 10: Talking machines

Today, there are a lot of virtual assistants, like Siri from Apple. They are programs that are made to help you in your day-to-day life , telling you the weather, searching things for you or playing the song that you want. They are only made yo help you, so I think that they aren´t going to replace anyone, because a machine can´t do many things that a human can, and they aren´t programmed to solve many of the problems from everyday. Probably, in the future we are going to see robots that are going alone in the streets to go shopping, or robots that can cook alone or that can make other household activities, but I think that they aren´t going to affect humankind. 

Virtual or real relationship?

Comment 4:Virtual or real relationship?

Relating with one another is a basic thing in our lives and in the society as we are talking. You can meet people in many diferent ways. Technology has advanced a lot, even to the point of being able to meet people while you are sitting in your sofa. Today you can join a lot of online chats and download a lot of apps to talk with people that are far from you. Everyday you talk to a lot of people you don´t know, playing online games, going shopping or calling to any technical service. Meeting people online is a good way to make friends, but you must be careful, because you don´t know if the person you are talking to is the one who he says. Finally, I think that meeting people online is a very good way to talk to others, but that will never replace a real relationship, because there are many things that you can´t do online, like meeting your friends in the park, playing football or going out to eat, real relationships are much better than virtual relationships.
