Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying has been around ever since the creation of social media, which allows us to interact and commuicate with others online. Cyberbullying is harrassing and abusing someone on the internet. Over the years, you hear on the news about teenagers ammepting to commit suicude because they were bullied by someone on the internet. Everyone has been bullied at least once in their lifetime, even the popular singers and actors you see on television. Recently, a 12 year old girl, Rebecca Ann Sedwick, commited suicide due to cyberbullying, and it's just a shame because she was so young, with so much to look forward to in the future.

AI and Robotics

Robots are starting to take over the world; they are taking over jobs that used to belong to humans because they are more efficent and they work for free. Large companies love to spend as little as possible to manufacture their products, so I think robots will eventually take over all of the manufacturing. But, there are in some cases where robots can do things that humans cannot do. For example, NASA designed a robot for Mars, something a human cannot do, yet. Robots tend to make less errors than humans because they are programed to do the same things every time. I say "less errors" because sometimes even robots will make a mistake, but overall, humans will make more mistakes than a robot. When an error is made, either by a robot or a human, it is the human's fault because humans created and programed the robot.
