After many attempts, I have finally managed to work the comments on another blog to appear on my own. The only thing is, I am not sure if it was due to the hashtag #mscedc, the word Dirk or the word Linzi. Maybe, I should always include the three trigger phases as a precaution!!

This documentary was FASCINATING and I really loved how the course readings have made me look at the world differently. I find myself asking questions but find evolution of humans not to be feared but as Miller (2011) states ’embraced’. I am someone that even looks at my family differently and I am grateful that technology has saved and improved health through the use of insulin pumps, augmentation, transplants and even prosthetics. I have always been conscious of my health and my bodies ability but I the brain is the most important part and I feel it is something that Artificial Intelligence cannot replicate. How we feel, interact and process things and others through our cognition and full body experience is what makes us human, even if we are cyborgs.

Is it due to a lack of empathy? And if so can empathy be taught?
The capacity to sympathise and empathise are considered vital for a sense of humanity but there is a difference between sympathy and empathy. When experiencing something we can receive sympathy from many, but only those who have experienced something similar are able to empathise truly. Compassion provides the ability to understand one’s fellow humans and their problems. Taking this thought further, in regard to humanism, can we teach Artificial Intelligence emotions?

@philip_downey I feel the lack of empathy stems from humans hiding behind technology #souldestroying #msced

I’ve always loved a movie but I never questioned or put much thought in to the content as it was for entertainment. Now as I watch the films, I am talking, pausing, repeating specific scenes and annoying my family. They seem to think I have a ‘short circuit’ and to them I have malfunctioned.
