Week 4 Rough Draft

Are we prepared for the new technology?
We will learn in the future using all the technologies. Children are hungry for it. Technology describes the future in ways we have yet to imagine. Perhaps in the distant future technology will be intergraded into us.

We must strive to become better teachers and embrace the technology.

The lack of feelings toward another human being is usually the premise of the Utopian society in most sic-fi films. The movie 1984, and Equilibrium depicted such a society where feelings, and creativity were forbidden. We see in these films a fear of what humans can become in these films. The question is, what makes us human?

To have empathy means you are able to feel what someone else is feeling. This is what makes us human. However, psychopaths lack the ability to feel for another human being. Could it be a defect in their brain chemistry? Injury or behavioral problem, or other reason they cannot feel anything. Are these people human if they lack a basic human trait?

Human beings can be defined in their DNA. They are human because the posses the DNA. What if someone is born with a defective gene. Are they less of a human? If a child is born with Downs syndrome have a part or a copy of chromosome 21. Too many chromosomes and we have defects in our DNA. These problems can lead to life threatening, severe motor skills impairment, and cognitive defects. If we were able to repair the defective genes in a complex entity as human, all life on this planet will benefit.
