During our class time, we got the chance to walk around and listen to what our classmates were going to write their papers about. In this blog post, I will share some information about two of them. Kendall wrote about emojis and how they have changed the way we communicate Justin wrote about Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
Kendall’s main discussion is about how emojis are used in everyday language. Emojis are little pictures that are used to communicate. Some people used them to replace words in a typed out text. However, people do not necessarily interpret them in the same way. Depending on the people, one picture of a flower could mean spring, happiness, or simply just be a flower. There are endless meaning to emojis because each person thinks differently. I think that this topic is fascinating because emojis have become part of language that I do not think people will ever live without.
Justin wrote about AI and VR. He dove into the subject starting with Artificial Intelligence. One part that really caught my attention was when he talked about the Turing Test. This test is when a computer and a person are in a separate room from the other person and answer questions. The point of this experiment is to see if the evaluator can or cannot tell a difference between the person and the computer. The other part of this exhibit that I found interesting was the idea that AI and VR combined could train, help, and teach people. It can train police officers, pilots, and firefighters through VR by putting them in real life situations. It can help people by exposing them t their fears and helping them get through those obstacles or help people with disabilities. VR and AI can also help people in schools learn through programs on the computer or similar technology.
