For this weeks reading I chose to reflect on Cybernetics and Ghosts. The part that stuck out to me the most as I was reading the article was “Electronic brains, even if they are still far from producing all the functions of the human brain, are nonetheless capable of providing us with a convincing theoretical model for the most complex processes of our memory, our mental associations, our imagination, our conscience.” This part stuck out to me because being born in the early 90’s and now we are in 2018 our generation has seen a drastic change in technology especially in this day and age. Technology producers have always said that eventually school teachers will be replaced by robots, there will not be anymore teachers or customer service representatives etc. I am a chilhood education major and this made me reflect on how students are so phased by technology that education is not education anymore. Students are so stuck on there phones and tablets instead of picking up a book to read they pick up there tablets. It is sad but true how slowly we will see robots acting like humans and will have the functions to tell you everything you need to know.
