    This week news about technology is "the robot lawyers are here - and they're winning." In BBC news about technology I heard that over 100 lawyers in London firms went against an artificial intelligence program called Case Cruncher Alpha. It states "In all, they submitted 775 predictions and the computer won hands down, with Case Cruncher getting an accuracy rate of 86.6%, compared with 66.3% for the lawyers." What this means is that the robots are winning more cases than the humans. Both the humans and robot were given the basic info of payment protection insurance mis-selling cases. The Case Cruncher is the brainchild of four Cambridge law students. They turned something difficult which is the program that could predict the outcome of cases. However, none of the team had any knowledge of computer science except for Ludwig Bull who taught himself.Robot gavel

      Researchers are creating a library of movement data from different dog breeds, to make animals animations in films and video games more realists.  Movies like Planets of Apes uses motion to capture techniques extensively to transform actors into apes but it doesn't work for true 4 legs animals. Computer scientist now from the Centre for Analysis of Motion,Entertainment Research&Applications at the University of Bath are trying to look for a way or a new technique that will be able to use the movements of a human actor to drive a four-legged animal character, to make it move in a more realistic way. They will use different type of dog breeds to study the gaits of the animals and hope to expand the project to cats next year.     In my opinion, I think its a good and bad because for us humans we would it. However, for the dogs or cats they wouldn't like because we are using them for this. Source:  https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171128190050.htm

Google Trip

    This semester we went to Google in New York City, New York. It was a very good and interesting work place. We saw the people using scooters to transport from room to room. In addition, there were different places to eat in the google offices. Our tour-guide showed us the very first computer (image below). It was interesting and he also showed us the very old CD's and told us that it still works. After that we went through the staircase all the way to the 14th floor went to the rooftop. To be honest it didn't really felt like a rooftop but like a backyard. Where you can be able to rest and eat while taking your break. Another thing that was really good was the sleeping area. I called it the sleeping area because there was like a little bed or somewhat similar and you can sleep or take a nap. Mrs.Ramirez  really liked the little garden. There was plants on wall. It was really nice.         If I was able to work at google I would feel really blessed because they provide us
