#4 invention


Have you ever needed advice, but your friend wasn't around? Well, now you can just go to your computer. The new computer, Computer 3000, has a built in empathy chip. This feature allows you to type in a problem, and the computer can process it and actually put itself in your shoes. The computer will then be able to give you advice. It will be just like receiving advice from your friends or family. How the empathy chip works is you will click on the 'empathy' icon that is on the screen. It will automatically be there because the empathy chip comes installed in the computer. After clicking on the icon, a box will pop up, which is somewhat similar to the boxes for instant messaging. In the box it will say 'problem,' and that is where you will type your problem. When you are done typing what you would like to talk about, hit enter to send it. The empathy chip in your computer will read what you wrote and respond. The computer's response will appear in the box. You can then type back if you choose to. Conversations with your computer are now possible. The Computer 3000 is the same size as the average computer desktop, so you will not have to worry about it being a big super computer. It comes in several different models, but they all contain the empathy chip. The Computer 3000 is $3,999.99. Go buy your Computer 3000 today.

No way would I buy this product. I think when you are having a problem, following what you feel is right is a much better way to go. A computer, doesn't have feelings and doesn't understand them. It can only analyze the pros and cons of an outcome unless you gave it a much more extensive base of information rather than just typing in your problem. The computer would need to know you. It also promotes computers becoming self aware which could spawn a terminator-like outcome in the future. I would only buy it if it was much cheaper.

I don't think I'd buy this product... The idea of artificial intelligence giving advice is almost scary. It's also sad that some people might have so few friends that they can't call one to talk to. No one understands like a best bud! Instead of paying this much for technology that would give you crappy, obvious advice, why not get a therapist? At least they'll know what to do.
