I'm going to deal with the notion of 'places and forms of power'. First, I'd like to define the notion. The power is the ability or official capacity to exercise control, authority. It also refers to the influence or the strength that a person or a group of people have on others. I've chosen to focus particularly on computer sciences and social networks, which perfectly embody the influence and power that can be wielded over people.
[...] Machines are nowadays able to beat humans in many areas. In the field of health, artificial intelligence helps doctors extract very useful information from medical images that are difficult to identify with the naked eye. This information makes it possible to establish earlier and more accurate diagnoses. Moreover, developed in 2017 by Hanson Robotics, Sophia is one of the most publicized humanoid robots in recent years: it travels through television sets and invites itself to the most prestigious events. This robot even obtained Saudi citizenship, provoking many controversies. [...]
[...] When I was your age, I couldn't play outside because the Wi- Fi connection was spotty.' This cartoon denounces the excessive power and dependence of young people on computers. To conclude, we can say that power can be a threat to our society. For example, the control exercised by social networks can be a real danger since it can influence people. Moreover, the rapid technological change now produces machines that are more efficient than humans leading to human dependence over the machine. In order to counter theses excessive powers, people, through art denounce the control of computer sciences over society. [...]
[...] Can computer power become a threat to our society and how can people stand up against it? I'm going to deal with the notion of ‘places and forms of power'. First, I'd like to define the notion. The power is the ability or official capacity to exercise control, authority. It also refers to the influence or the strength that a person or a group of people have on others.
