I would say from an overview of the syllabus I am most looking forward to the Week 5 analysis of Artificial Intelligence fiction. I am a huge fan of visual media and I can already say confidentially I will be rewatching 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar for the assignment. The concept of an artificial intelligence developing their own thoughts similar to the examples in these two films is both frightening and incredibly interesting to me.

I am also interested in learning more about the start of humanities relationship with technology. Specifically, the focus of the early development of computing from the Week 4 readings. The link included in that week’s lesson involving Google’s “perfecting” the Internet is very interesting just from the title. I am curious if that article would include any thoughts of Google developing too far from what the original website’s intention. One of my least favorite parts of modern technology companies is the reliance on artificial intelligence. I find Google’s A.I. generated responses to be annoying and often incorrect, or contradictory to what I am actually looking for.
