Artificial Intellagence

The main problem with the program Eliza's, functionality is that it only has a limited supply of responses. It doesn't elaborate on anything and it is frequently grammatically incorrect. It constantly repeats what you say in question form so the conversation doesn't go anywhere. When I used Alice it made a lot more sense but it still didn't carry a conversation well.

20Q

We did Sports, TV, Movies, Music, People, and Disney. It could never guess the people we chose but in all the other areas the 20Q website won. In the people section we did Chad Micheal Murray and kept asking if we were female actresses even though in the beginning we said we were male. I thought it was weird that they guessed girls when in the original questionnaire we said male.

Create Your Own

I made a rainbow design using the virtual bead loom grade 4-12 math software. I first designed the pattern on paper using a ruler and colored pencils. I used the rectangles shortcut to make the design more efficiently. I did six rows of each color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

African Corn Rows

I originally didn't understand the Integers section so I was doing one by one. I was getting tired of doing that so I decided to play with it until I figured it out. By the last row it took me under a minute to complete it because I knew what numbers to plug in and where.

Rug Weaver

I have progressed since my first one by using the rectangle, line and triangle techniques.

Dog Woven Basket

I was challenged when making this weave when I had to know whether to change the x or the y in order for it to move up and down or side to side.  I eventually got used to it and I got into a pattern so it was easy. Also I made a whole row the wrong color and there is no way to just click and change the color you have to do the whole thing over in order to change the color, so that was annoying. 

New Technology

In the past week Apple has released with the news of a new iPhone.  The iPhone 6s. It has a lot of new gadgets, including the fact that you can do things quicker by double tapping on the screen. Also Apple said "The only thing that changed is everything." The is a new way that texting, picture taking, and just navigating around your device.
