Rodney Brooks: Robots will invade our lives
Summary: I think the Robots will ivade our lives TED tallk by Rodney Brooks reprsents that robots are starting to get used for more purposes that involve are personal life and for other purposes such as milatary usage. Its also talking about how robots are devolping into something bigger and bigger. The robots devolop slowly like toddlers or babys because they respond to everythings that humans do sometimes. Its about how all of us are depedent on somebody else to do work for us because like he said in later years robots are going to be everywhere, so think about it how is your average guy going to start to make money all the jobs have robots. The videos main idea is that we are becoming to dependent on other people and that robots are getting to be bigger, better, stronger and smarter.
Info Tech Connections: 1. The connections are that in Info Tech we learn about coding and its similiar because they code or program the robots to do the tasks ordered.
2. The second connection is were alearning about more developed technology and they are too.
Two Ideas That Interested Me: 1. One thing that interested me was how the human race is getting smarter and smarter each day by making new stuff everyday.
2. The second thing was how they develope slowly because I thought that there advanced technology and could learn faster.

Luis von Ahn said, “If we can put a man on the
moon with 100,000(people working together), what can we do with 750,000,000
(people)?” Brainstorm 5 examples.
We could do a lot more things like put a man on mars and other planets, we could make or invent another language, create a new species of animal, help some of the issues in the world right now and ending world hunger.

What is DUOLINGO? How does it work?
"It is free language education for the world" thats what the website says but in my own words I think it is a site wear you could learn many languages for free. It tests you on simple phrases first but they get difficult and difficult on the way. So basically it teaches you languages for free world wide.
