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. 

The subject of Robotics

Comment 6: The subject of Robotics

I´m in the subject Robotics, and I think it´s a very interesting subject. We live in a world full of technologies, and if we don´t know how to deal with them, searching for a work is going to be very difficult, so if we learn how to treat with an arduino board or with a programmation system from a very early age, we are going to be better with them when we are adults. I think that nowadays, subjects like this one are the ones that are important, so if we are so lucky that we have the possibility of having this subject at our school, we must take advantage of that.
Finally, I think that more subjects should use the ITC tools and teach the students how to use them.
Congratulations to The IES Meditterraneo, it´s a deserved distinction!
