Response to" All the Troubles of the World"

In the story " All the Troubles of the World" by Isaac Asimov. The world is controlling by a giant robot called Moltivac. This Moltivac knows everything about human kind, it can predict future of what will humans do. It can sees if anyone wants to commit a crime or anyone is planning a crime, so the police can stop it right away. But this also has negative affects because it knows too much and the human kind has put too much one it that the Moltivac is under pressure. This Moltivac is similar to the technologies we have now that I am afraid if the computers are going to take away our world and make people more and more lazy that they would not want to do anything because the computers will do these for us. When we were in elementary school, our teacher always like to ask two questions that we cannot answer:
Which was first appeared? Egg or hen?
Who is smarter? Human or computers?
The second question is what we and the story was facing because the computers have interrupted our daily lives and they are controlling many many things now, but humans is the one who created them, so that is what we should be thinking.

I sometime doubt the purpose and the usage of the computers now base on this story" All the Troubles of the World".In the story, the Moltivac has become a living thing at the end because it contains too much human emotions that it has developed the ability to think and feel. This is really important because it can destroy us someday, and as our growing of technologies, the computers will eventually become the Moltivac someday.

  1. I liked reading your blog post responses to the short stories and thought that the content that you created was good. The question you posed about who is smart...the computers or humans, does make us think. Continue working on making sure your expression is clear by editing for grammatical and mechanical errors as it helps us understand your ideas better.
