Cyberbullying

Cyber bullying takes place in a computer where strangers or a person you may know who attacks you emotionally by writing negative things about you. These things happen often in social networking websites where you may or may not know who is insulting you. Cyber bullying has led people to death by committing suicide who are usually younger kids. In the article "Girl's Suicide Points to Rise in Apps Used by Cyberbullies" explains about a 12 year old girl who committed suicide for being bullied by 15 middle school children. It also explains the types of apps they have used to bully the little girl. The question is are the apps causing Cyber bullying or us?

AI and Robotics

Robots can do what humans can, but not everything. I am certain that a robot won't be able to do most things of what a human can do. Us humans aren't perfect and so will be the robots. If we were to program a robot there is a chance that the robot will end up having a bug which will cause errors. Who is to be blame if the robots ends up causing trouble? In the article "Should we put robots on trial?" stated who is to be blame if you were to be injured by a machine that moves by itself? I will think that the companies that created that machine will be the ones to face the consequences. I think it will be a long time from now that we will be able to see robots walking and living with humans.
