Option number 2: I think that robotics will continue to have a bigger and bigger impact on society. Robotics has great appeal because they can be programed to do menial and dangerous tasks the people would not volunteer to do. However, robotics does face opposition, because it takes jobs and potentially remove humans from involvement in the world. This is where artificial intelligence comes in. Many people are scared that artificial intelligence could remove humans from almost every job area. However, I think that robotics has a bright future in our society. It can help boost our growth and can make life easier for millions of people. Robots will face a rocky road, not only because we have to fix problems with robots but with people too. We have to prepare ourselves for this explosion in robotics, and help the world get ready for the future.
George Dyson'sTed talk was about the creation of the first computers. The men who made these very basic and hard to use computers were geniuses. They paved the way for modern computing to take place. T
heir discoveries can be understood, only by looking at their work. Their note books are filled with information, that is both amazing and revolutionary, and some information that is very irrelevant. However, this adds another dimension to their research, making it easier to comprehend and apply. The first computers were used for the atomic bomb testing for the Manhattan project, but the impact of computers is arguably bigger than the atomic bomb. There was another part of the Ted talk that most interested me. I did not fully understand it but I do not need to in order to grasp the amazing discoveries that were made. This was the part about the computers that could replicate in a way similar to DNA. As we move forward, the goal is to make computers better and faster, and this will mean making them life like. This will have a huge impact on the world, and even though this was theoretical, it has had a huge impact on our world, and will for many years to come.

Andrew McAfee used his time on stage to talk about how technology is advancing at a rate where people cannot keep up. He says this is different than any of the other periods of human history, because “our machines have started demonstrating skills they have never, ever had before: understanding, speaking, hearing, seeing, answering, writing, and they're still acquiring new skills.” This means that our machines will begin being able to do jobs that we have always needed people for. He says this is a good thing because it frees people from having to do mundane jobs, and allow them to focus their attentions on more important things. He was saying that rather than reject this new technologies to keep people working, we need to improve our economy and working structures to allow this technology to enter work place without causing millions of people to become unemployed. It reminds me of another video by CGP Grey on YouTube, which was called “No humans need apply”. It was a little depressing, but brought attention the problem that technology is moving very fast and that we aren’t doing enough to adjust to the new world. The main thing I got from his talk is that rather than fearing the advance of technology, we should embrace it, but we also have to adapt to the quickly changing landscape that has become the new workplace.
The first camp talks about the people who think that manufacturing doesn’t matter. There are many powerful and influential people in this category, each talking about how any one who thinks manufacturing is important, is deluded. Camp two talks about people who realize that manufacturing is important but needs to have restrictions taken off the industry. This is because America is the most expensive place to manufacture things. They also say we need to lower taxes on businesses who wish to manufacture in America. The third camp thinks that we need to create a better environment for production by investing in technologies to make manufacturing cleaner and less expensive. I think I would fall into the third camp because I think manufacturing is important to the economy, but we first need to make it cheaper and safer, so more companies can move here and help boost profits.
This article starts off with an anecdote of a man who owns a factory with expensive machinery. In the middle of the night he gets several text messages. These are messages being sent from his machines at his plant, indicating that the power at the plant is out. The article says that this is evidence that manufacturing is changing by using new advanced technology. The global economy is not a big web with factories at the center; the factories of the future will be nimble and flexible. These factories will use technologies to make factories more efficient. The use of computer models are leading to almost perfectly engineered products that allow manufacturers to employ new techniques to manufacture products much better. These will be the manufacturers of the future will use this technologies to boost their production, and like the man in the beginning, control their entire operation from a mobile device.
The articles I picked were about three manufacturing companies that are competing to receive a $200 million grant to manufacture goods. The cities of these manufactures are also competing to be able to house these factories and profit from them. The second article was about manufacturing in America there are new companies in the US that are very optimistic that manufacturing will take of in the future. Manufacturing is expanding globally and especially in the United States. The
Manufacturing is becoming more efficient. The proof is that there have been several shows of manufacturing contests and competitions, the latest by Siemens. These articles are interesting because it talks about the future of manufacturing and technology in America and how our country is advancing.

The Milau Viaduct, located in Milau, France, is a bridge that spans the Milau Valley and is the tallest bridge in the world at over 340 meters. It is a cable stayed bridge and is very striking because of it. The deck and towers are made of concrete and the stays (Cables) are made of galvanized steel. Construction began in October 16, 2001, and ended in on December 16, 2004. It is the tallest bridge in the world at 340 meters, and cost 340 million euros, and cuts over and hour and a half from the trip across the valley floor.
