essay is based on a reading from the December 1999 exam: an essay: “Getting Close to the Machine” by Ellen Ullman. Why do we have computers? Computers are invented in order to facilitate the satisfaction of our needs. We want to satisfy our needs daily and computers are composed of our thoughts and of how we would realize the action performed by the computer. In Ellen Ullman’s “Getting Close to the Machine”‚ the effects and compositions of a programmed computer is clearly illustrated through many

Can a machine be a person? The topic of this debate is whether machines with artificial intelligence that is able to replicate human behavior can be considered human or not. This house believes that computers are fully capable of being humans because regardless of whether it is made of the ‘wrong stuff’ if it is able to adapt to human attributes or behavior then there should be no reason to classify them as otherwise. This argument is considered from a materialist view; which states that we

Rube-Goldberg Machine Rube- Goldberg machines are often complex inventions or contraptions that consist of a chain reaction in order to complete a simple task. The task of our Rube-Goldberg machine was to place a bingo chip on the bingo board in order to “win” bingo! Our machine had multiple transfers of energy which consisted of both kinetic and potential energy. Overall‚ our machine displays eight simple machines that all consist of transfers of energy in the process. To begin‚ our contraception

and scientists use scientific knowledge to design and build machines that make our lives easier. The machines they build today started off with the basics‚ which are known as Simple Machines. Simple Machines are defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage to multiply force. These machines have either few or no moving parts‚ and use energy to work. This term is usually referred to the six classical simple machines; lever‚ wheel and axle‚ pulley‚ inclined plane‚ a wedge and

INDIVIDUAL PAPER 1: Applying the Machine Metaphor Metaphors are often used in order to analyse organisations and theories of management by helping us to see and understand in a distinctive yet partial way (Morgan‚ 2006). The use of metaphors allows us to understand something by comparing it to an experience to which we are familiar. Akin & Palmer (2000 p 69) further explain the effectiveness of metaphors saying they “are integral to our language. It is through metaphors that we communicate.”
