So the other day, while I was cruising around making wordles and delicious clouds (unsuccessfully! gah!) I added this experimental software to my blog from delicious.com that will create a blog entry of all my delicious tags and sites for the week. It hasn’t created one yet at the time I am writing this. I’m pretty sure I typed in that it would appear at 9:00 AM but that somehow morphed into 2:00 AM so who knows when it will appear. But it should be a cool experiment. So pretty soon I won’t even be touching my keyboard. I’ll just be napping while my computer takes over. Hmm…this all sounds eerily familiar…like some video we might have watched in class… Furthermore, in classic April Fools form, Google has “created” this feature called CADIE (Cognitive Autoheursitic Distributed-Intelligence Entity) that they claim will auto-respond to emails and type your papers for you. While it’s a joke, it made me think about whether a computer would ever really be able to think and write that way.
So let’s all reminisce about the beginning of the semester…
