Technology and Current issues

Description

Please use/ choose a good perfect topic in technology and current issues because it will be for my up coming Essay

part 1:

write a working thesis statement for Essay , using the syllogism formula

Use third-person point of view. Do not accidentally use first-person singular (one, I, me, mine), first-person plurals (we, us, our), or second-person “you.”

USE THIS SYLLOGISM PATTERN TO WRITE YOUR THESIS. This is required. It is not optional:

If (the following is true)_______,

Then, (the following is also true)_____;

Therefore, (this is what should be done about it)____________.

EXAMPLE:

Thesis: If tax exemptions for religious institutions are granted based on the institutions not interfering in political affairs, then those institutions must obey that restriction if they want to enjoy the exemptions. Therefore, religious institutions should lose tax exemptions if they interfere in public affairs.

Do the best that you can for now. I will help you by giving you feedback. It is not unusual to re-write the initial statement a few times before you get it right. A “working” thesis means one that will help you to get started, but it may be edited a few times as you work on the essay. At some point, though, you need to settle on one and stick with it.

TIP: To be sure that you are focused on technology, make sure that the word technology is someplace in your thesis statement. For example: Topic–alternatives to fossil fuels; Problem–too much pollution; Solution–technology to run alternative forms of energy

claim your topic for Essay 4:

Please describe your research topic in detail . Everyone needs to have a different topic. This is mostly to have a variety of topics on the discussion board to widen the exposure to issues

part 2 :

Discussion #7: Analytical Writing–The Singularity and Real-world Artificial Intelligence

1. Read the “Future Shock” Vanity Fair article by Maureen Dowd.

2. Watch the first episode of “The Age of A.I.” by Robert Downey.

3. Write an analytical paragraph in response to the article and the video, then post it on the discussion board:

Use your answers to the questions below to write one, long, unified paragraph about the significance of the topic of artificial intelligence in the real-world today. This is an analytical writing assignment. Include a topic sentence that states your main point, as well as quotes from and references to the article text. Use page number citations for the article. Include examples and paraphrasing from the video–you do not need to use page number citations, but you should reference the video specifically, so that you are not plagiarizing from it. Write the paragraph in third-person point of view.

Questions for consideration:

  • Dowd article–What is the central controversy discussed in this article? Who is Elon Musk and what is his opinion about this central controversy? What was the A.I. winter? What is the current situation? What does Ray Kurzweil write about in his book, The Singularity is Near? Why does Elon Musk say “…it really is all about the journey”? You may also write your own reading questions, answers, and notes about this article.
  • Downey video–In what ways is artificial intelligence being developed today? What are the major uses of artificial intelligence? What are the benefits of current artificial intelligence? What are the potential downsides and pitfalls? Was there anything surprising in the video that you did not expect? (keep this is third-person point of view).
