Artificial Intelligence: Will It Take Over?
roboticstrends.com

What is artificial intelligence? It's the development of a computer to be able to perform tasks like a human. Thanks to the increasing number of movies about AI and the more experience we're getting, it has been a growing topic and the question, "Will it take over?" is still a relatively new thought in our world. The question can be hard to wrap your head around, so my goal is to answer it.

It's easy to think that the possibility of AI taking over is high. Computers have beat humans in many different situations: solving mathematical equations, the time it takes to solve that problem and (sometimes) during computer games. While AI can do that, we can do a lot of amazing things as well. We beat AI in survival, reproduction and interacting to an unknown situation.

Look around and think about all of the technology that we have that benefits us: cell phones, computers, and television. All this helps us grow and become smarter. We complete tasks faster and more efficiently by automating processes, and we are also given the ability to share ideas and connect with people from around the world. Why would AI "take over"? They are designed to help us, not destroy us.

While they are not designed to destroy us but rather help us in our everyday tasks, you never know what could happen and what could evolve. The younger generations who have grown up with technology would be more trusting of AI, and therefore might not even realize when we get too reliant on what they provide. There is the possibility for AI to grow tremendously, and we can't even begin to think about what it will be like decades from now.

So, will artificial intelligence take over? My answer: probably not. That doesn't mean that we can just forget about this topic, though. It's important to be cautious and understand the risks involved in moving forward with AI. It's also important to note the benefits because artificial intelligence can really help humanity in short and long term. It's just a matter of time before we can get a concrete answer.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
