Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively. The pros of artificial intelligence are numerous; Mundane tasks, Faster actions and decisions, Error-Free Processing, Taking the Risk and so on. But there are some cons; Job losses, A concentration of power, and Bad calls.
I think that AI is the future because it has a lot of advantages for humans, so this branch of computer science will continue to be developed in pro of society and people. There are more advantages of AI than disadvantages, people don't like doing the trivial tasks, so if we can have a robot or something like that doing the mundane tasks, why no? Also for security, for example in a rescue or in a pump call. Why risk our life if we have the technology for do that for us?.
Job losses is the worst con for people. While the AI continue to be developing, many jobs are becoming obsolete and people have fewer job opportunities.
In future, I hope that AI to be developed in pro of people, for health, security, and education improvements.
In short, an ultimate pro and con of artificial intelligence: AI still isn't all that smart.

The Samsung Galaxy S7

The Samsung Galaxy S7

Samsung Galaxy S7 is a great cell phone designed to meet all your basic needs.

In general, Samsung's cell phones are known for their high quality and S7 is not the exception.
If your first concern is taking pictures, the S7 has a 12-megapixel camera. Having said that, nowadays there are cell phones in the market with more than 12-megapixel, but with the passage of time the Samsung Galaxy S7 has lowered its price, so now is a bargain.

I bought my S7 two years ago and it is working perfectly, it has not had any problems yet.

What doesn't really work, in my opinion, is the battery-battery life sucks! I have to keep it on power save mode at all times. If you go to an expedition to the mountain, make sure you carry the battery charged to 100%.

I wasn't overwhelmed by memory, because I back up the photos in my pc. The S7 doesn't have external memory, so you have to back up your files when the memory is full.

Victor's Goals in EF course

Hi mi name is Victor Zuniga, I'm from Copiapo, Chile. I came to New York City to take a course of English at EF. My Goals for my course are improve my speaking, listening, writing, and reading. I am taking this course because i think the best way to learn English or any language in general, it's to live the language, I mean, live in a place where you have to speak English to communicate with others. I chose EF New York because since i was a child i wanted to come to America and especially to New York City. The aspects of my language that i want to improve are all, but especially my speaking, because i think it's the most difficult for every people that is learning a new language.
Outside of class time i usually listen to English music and i read articles in English to maximize my language growth. I think i could do more, such as watch movies in English and talking with American people in the streets or at supermarket.
By the end of my 5 months course, i hope i have improved my speaking to the point of being able to have a fluent conversation with anyone from an English speaking country.
