Remember: This discussion question is worth a possible 20 points. Late answers will receive 0 points. Points will be assigned according to the thoughtfulness of your answers, not by whether they are "right" or not, since sometimes there is no "right" answer. Just be sure your ideas are supported by the material in the readings.
1. List 3 specific things you think will change if/when The Singularity happens.

2. Explain the difference between intellectual and emotional intelligence. Give one specific example of each.
- Consult at least one source other than the assigned reading to get this information.
- Give a Work(s) Cited entry for that source(s), in correct MLA format. (This part is important--you will lose points if the format is incorrect. Ask if you need help.)
3. Explain what "Artificial Intelligence (AI)" is. List 2 things AI already does. List 2 things it might do in the future.

When you respond to other people's answers, be sure to post a response of substance, which adds new details or ideas to what they've said, or asks questions for clarification. Don't just say "I like your list" or some variation on that. Really give some thought to what the other student has said and see what you can contribute.
