Its 7 O’clock in the morning, I was again awakened in another physics nightmare, which I dreamed of getting a C in my physics exam. I jumped out from my bed, quickly opened my computer to check my score. Fortunately, I got a A my exam. “Wow that’s actually pretty good!” I wonder, and  for the rest of the morning I was trod on air because the 3.7 GPA wasn’t a dream anymore, it was just within my reach. “I am closer to my dream! I have to tell my parents about this! They definitely will be happy about this!” I thought, and with tears in my eyes, I called them and vented all my pressure with them. I shared about my life in Purdue, and how college changed me. During the video chat, I suddenly found out that my dad and mom looked older than I thought, the temples of their hair were like an upcoming winter, which the beautiful darkness was now covered by a layer of hoary-silver. I started to felt guilty of myself not caring about my parents, so at the the end of the video chat, I looked them in the eyes through the camera and spoke from my heart with sincerity, “I will take care of my self, and I will let you be proud of me. See you in in two months.” After talking to my parents, I can’t help but recall my friends from Taiwan who were also studying in America and other places around world. Filled with nostalgia, I opened a group chat and spoke with my friends asking about their life, and I was happy when I heard they were all doing very good in their schools. After chatting with my friends, there was suddenly a sense of lost, which I hope I can go back to the days in high school, but I told myself, life will eventually go on and on, and there will always be interesting things ahead of us. With this idea in mind, I closed my computer, dressed a little, and started my new adventure in Purdue today

Last week at school, we watched a movie related to artificial intelligence. I think I like the movie pretty much. At first, I did not know much about artificial intelligence, and I did not even know what exactly artificial intelligence is used for. However, after watching the movie last week, I sort of understand its usage and some potential effect.

            With regard to the content of the movie, it depicts the story between engineers and the robots. In the setting, the engineer has an extremely high coding skills and he invented robots with skills of artificial intelligence to make robots not only possess multiple functions but also have a sense of emotion. It might seem ridiculous if we stand from the perspective with regard to the resources and the skills we have nowadays. However, in my opinion, it is of highly possibility to really have this kind of artificial intelligence in the future. The movie is strongly related to the topic that we are going to discuss today. They are all about skills of technology and the appropriate usage. The movie laid a forecast on humans’ future with artificial intelligence. I think the movie is beneficial for us to understand what artificial intelligence is like.
