Artificial Intelligence

According to Robert S. Boyd in his article “Machines are Catching up to Human Intelligence,” human intelligence is not going to be important because of artificial intelligence. First, the author states that technology’s brains are passing the human’s brains. Next, he gives an example which is evidence of the development of artificial intelligence such as 5 driverless cars had been made that month. After that he mention that this technology is almost everywhere in countries. Also, the author says that NASA has been helped by artificial intelligence. Therefore, he states that experts argue with people who understand that any new project made by artificial intelligence, they think that experts don’t do that much work to discover new things. Then, the author states the beginning of artificial intelligence in 1960s and explain its stagnancy between 1980s and 1990s. Finally, the author explains how the robotic cars work which considered one form of artificial intelligence. I agree with the author that we are using technology for many things today and for future.
First, there are many reasons that make artificial intelligence is more important in these days. One example is calculators in math and many subjects. Human brain can’t count the complicated numbers which calculators do in less than one second. Also, industrial robots make industry pieces accurately and quickly. Computers are controlling much important types of transportation such as airplanes, trains, and ships. So, we are in touch with technology every time and everywhere.
Second, artificial intelligence could make our life easies in in the future. In future we will need more technology in our life to communicate with each other. We will need more explorations in the universe around us to know more about what surrounds us. Also, technology will make our health system and bank security rustable. All these explorations need more artificial intelligence to make it easily.
Consequently, technology has great benefits for us. It makes our lives easy. For example, using artificial intelligence in industry and our daily tasks to improve our life. Also, in future artificial intelligence will be more important to many industries and space explorations. So, artificial intelligence will not damage our brain but will improve our future. As a result, we can’t stay away from intelligent machines today and in the future.

My favorite field

Industrial countries today are depend on engineering field. It has three main majors: chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the one I am interested in. It is more general than the others. Also, it contains some kind of chemical engineering and electrical engineering besides a lot of mechanical tasks. It is difficult and hard job to be mechanical engineer. However, there are three factors make me chose this field: I like it, it gives good benefits for society, and it has suitable income to live with.
First, the most important thing to be successful in your job is to enjoy it. Loving your job encourages you to do your best at work. I like mechanical engineering because it contains my favorite subjects when I was in school. It has math, physics, and mechanical drawing. To be honest I wasn't that much intelligent in these subjects, but I like them more than the other subjects. I enjoy solving math exercises and listenning to physics discussions and spending a lot of time drawing. In addition to that, these subjects are used everywhere around us. Buildings, streets, pipelines, and more and more, are made by math or physics or drawing or by all of them. I prefer to be in touch with these subjects; therefore, I like this field.
Second, society needs engineers to build plants or to plan new projects or to solve problems. Mechanical engineers are able to do that. They can build plants by drawing and then make it on the land, for example, desalination plants, electricity factories and gas plants. Therefore, these projects give a good income for countries to make their people live better. No one can plan these projects except mechanical engineers and some helpers. These projects offer many jobs and good income to people.
Third, life today is more expensive than before, so you need to have good salary. According to salary.com, mechanical engineers salary in U.S. begins by $50,000 to $60,000 depending on where you work. In addition, there are some offers and awards for the engineer who makes a perfect project or solves some problem or gives a successful idea. Furthermore, I liked to have good income to depend on myself.
In conclusion, I chose mechanical engineering because it is difficult and fun at the same time. First, I chose it because of three main subjects math, physics, and drawing. Second, it is nice to be one of the inductive people on society, to build it. Finally, preparing for my future by choosing job with good income is one of my aims. Therefore, I recommend students who like math and physics to choose mechanical engineering field. Whatever its difficulty, it will be fun for them.
