Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is what it sounds as if it was bullying in school, only online. There are various of ways cyber bullying. An example can be when some one is being threaten over the Internet. Like posting comments saying that she is not physically attracted, exposing her secrets that are very personal, and there are many more.
In the Miami case of a girl that killed herself, it stated, "'That Dead Girl' and delivered a message to two friends, saying goodbye forever." After reading the user name of the girl that's a bone chilling moment because the girl did die. She wanted to send a messages to stop cyber bullying.

AI and Robotics

 Robots can do what Humans can, IF they are properly programmed to do so. Right now I'm taking programming class and what I've been learning is how to code (simple programs to do simple task.) I learned that programming is case sensitive so one little mistake the code wont work. So I believe is the same thing with a robot. If the robot is not programmed correctly then it wont do that task you wanted it do.
Human usually makes more errors. Human makes the errors because if the human doesnt program the robot to do the task the proper way, with out checking the program and testing the program multiple times, then the robot will do the errors. But the robot does the errors because the human made an error while her or she was programming it.
 "The results of the study showed that 46 per cent of participants obeyed the robot’s orders for a full 80 minutes, even when they did not enjoy completing the task at hand." I believe that this does not prove whether the robots is a good idea to have or not. It only proves if humans listen to the robot. They should had put why the humans didn't enjoy it. Was it because the robot was spitting out task really fast and not giving them time? or Was it because it was too much or too long?
