both past history and future history are avoided‚ focusing solely on the child’s present state. Binet did not want to know why the child had the amount of intelligence that he did‚ nor if this state could be cured‚ but only the current mental state of the child. He pointed out that there were many different forms of names for types of intelligences – from moral imbeciles to insanity victims to idiots to degenerates. However‚ these forms are generally not found in schools‚ and for that reason‚ they were

There are few things that I realized while reflecting on the life of Isaac Newton and his works. First‚ Isaac Newton became a key figure in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century and is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time despite his humble beginnings. This fact made me understand that I can achieve something big in my life regardless of my roots. Newton said that his works were based on previous discoveries. It was an admission that his amazing

I personally think that Isaac Newton is without a doubt‚ a hero. He is a hero because of his scientific achievements and life events. He found a way to split white light and find its color contents‚ he discovered then extended his three laws of motion that frame the world of physics‚ and for crying out loud‚ the man invented calculus. Not just that‚ these examples aren’t even including all of his very many scientific achievements‚ inventions‚ or founds. For starters‚ Isaac Newton’s theory of “fluxions”

Is artificial intelligence (AI) in human society a utopian dream or (worse yet) a Faustian nightmare?" (qtd in Kurzweil 450). Opponents to AI would like members of society to believe the answer to this question is yes. For these skeptics‚ AI either "conjures up images of HAL in the film ’2001: A Space Odyssey ’ or . . . the scarecrow in the ’Wizard of Oz ’" (qtd in Kupsh and Rhodes 344). Both cases illustrate the presence of intelligence where a brain is lacking. In the former AI is seen

There’s a lot that can be said as to why we need college to find good reliable and high paying occupations. As expressed before in the previous paragraphs‚ the article “What Counts as Intelligence?” by author Mike Rose sees some of the same ideas as Louis Menand had in his article just with a little bit of a different prospective. He gives us a brief story about his uncle ‘Joe Meraglio’ who came back home after the second world war and the struggles he had looking for a job because he didn’t get

When Isaac Asimov envisioned a world in which robots would be as common as humans‚ he determined all of the ethics and morals that would bind these smart machines with three rules: “1. A robot may not injure a human being‚ or through inaction allow it to come to harm‚ 2. A robot must always obey a human‚ unless this conflicts with the first law‚ 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this doesn’t interfere with the first or second law” (Asimov‚ 1941). These three statements were baptized
