Science fiction is a type of speculative fiction. It typically consists of imaginative and futuristic concepts. These concepts contain advanced science and technology, the exploration of space and extraterrestrial life, time travel, and parallel universes. It has been referred to as "literature of ideas". It also explores the consequences of innovation such as scientific, social, and technological.

Why is science fiction important and why? Day 5.

# data[].attributes.body
Science fiction is important, since it allows one to reflect on our environment and also the interactions between people around us. It leads people to consider the effects of technologies and how strongly it impacts us. Science fiction helps us speculate how our future can chance and what we can do to improve it. It additionally gives us an idea of how to handle future problems.

What are the benefits of scientific progress? What are the negatives? Day 6.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientific progress has many benefits including solving practical problems we once would be unable to do. The progression of science has allowed for many medications and discoveries of how to ensure a longer lifespan. The progression of medicine has allowed for many cures to me made and more advanced medical equipment to be manufactured. It also increases our quality of life, by giving us more stable food and water sources and excellent housing. In addition smart devices enable us to have access to important information and entertainment. A negative to scientific progress is that people can become to dependent on the technology around them and could handle these new innovations irresponsibly.

Should we use technology for developing weapons? Why? Day 8.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes we should develop weapons using technology to further our chances of safety. Though I believe this, normal civilians should not be allowed to own or use the weapons. The developing weapons should be used in war or civil conflicts by the government and should not be used for any other uses. New weapons could allow for more reliable and safer military use and could replace existing weapons that are too destructive and unreliable. New weapons could replace destructive nuclear bombs with options that enforce the same impact but in a more humane way.

To what extent should scientific experimentation be regulated? Why? Day 9.

To what extent should scientific experimentation be regulated? Why? Day 9.

# data[].attributes.body
Scientific experimentation should be heavily regulated, when concerning experiments that could be harmful or dangerous towards people and animals. These includes inhumane testing like harmful chemicals or actions and physiological pain on humans and animals. These types of testing are not needed and only cause pain and are a horrible form of cruelty. The only exception of this should be if an individual willingly consents to one of these experiments and is able to opt out at any given time. Other experiments like developing technology or finding solutions to problems should be moderately regulated, but if these experiments include the development of weapons or dangerous substances than they should also be heavily regulated.

What technology have you seen in Science Fiction, that does not actually exist, do you wish did? Why? Day 11.

# data[].attributes.body
One piece of technology that i've seen in science fiction and wish existed in reality is the ability to move spaceships at the speed of light. I am fund of this technology, since it would allow us to explore and study the whole universe around us. Humans are limited to the earth and our solar system, and with the ability to travel space with such speed it would open up so many opportunities. Such as the discovery of new life, and new resources such as new elements or alternative and eco- friendly energy sources. These new discoveries could lead to further advancements in technology and the betterment of human life in general.

This weekend I'm going up to my moms house to visit. I am excited about this, since I don't get to see my mother or brother that much as a result of them living in Kentucky. Also, I get to see my boyfriend who I miss very much and cant wait to see. I'm not sure what we will be doing this weekend, but I believe we are going to see a game. Hopefully I can live up there some time soon.

This weekend I'm spending my time staying at home, since I have covid. I am having a good time tho, because I get to lay around the house by myself and eat good food. I'm not looking forward to the amount of makeup work I am going to have to make up on top of my regular school work. Also I was supposed to go to my moms house and visit, but I am unable to since my father has to work and there is no other person who could take me up. I hope next weekend will be more eventful and enjoyable, and that I can spend it visiting my mom.

Would you want to travel the world in a submarine? Why? Day 12.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I would not find it enjoyable or exciting to travel the world in a submarine. I do not like being in deep water other than a pool; it scares me and makes me very uncomfortable. I do not understand the point of traveling the world in a submarine, when you could travel with a care and actually see and experience places and events. You can only travel to beaches in a submarine and it would be very inconvenient to live in such a small space. Also I cant imagine what I would do if the submarine broke down or hit something it would be too scary to think about to go on one.

What are the benefits of a machine having human or above human intelligence? Day 16.

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits of machines having higher intellect than humans is that they would be able to solve problems more efficiently and accurate. Machines could take in more data and process it better, allowing for more better and realistic results. Also in addition to this machines could carry out or perform harder and more laborious tasks, since there intellect would be able to easily comprehend the needed labor. Machines could solve unknown answers for example unsolved equations or approve and disapprove theories. Lastly if machines had higher intellect than humans they could help us figure out better ways to travel space or explore places like the bottom of the oceans.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, I would enjoy to have a robot that could either perform tasks that I ask it to, or give me helpful information on subjects I request. Robots could be quite helpful and contribute a lot with executing every day tasks. If I had a robot I would have it help me with everyday needs that include washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning, and preparing meals. If I was able to rely on a robot to assist with these needs, than I would have more free time to complete school work and enjoy personal activities. Though, the only down side to this would be that I could possibly become to lazy or to dependent on the robot to carry out my work.

I was supposed to visit my family this weekend, but my parents decided to not let me go on account of it being " too dangerous to be on the interstate on labor day weekend". This bummed me out extremely, since I really wanted to come up and see my boyfriend. His birthday was last Tuesday and I wasn't able to celebrate it, because he lives in a different state. My two friends are busy this weekend so I have nothing to do and will just sit around the house. Hopefully I can go up next weekend.

What dangers exist due to machine intelligence? Explain. Day 18.

# data[].attributes.body
There are several dangers that could come from machines in the future, for example the ability to make completely self sufficient thoughts. One may question how can machine intelligence really raise concern and the main idea of it is what if machines one day surpass their creators in intelligence and ability, and then further evolve to no longer need humans. If robots were to rise against humans it would be a very long and harsh war, since machines cannot die they can simply be restored or another can be made. Also humans highly depend on machines to build and create things and to perform everyday needs, so if machines were to become dangerous then it would be hard to avoid them or destroy them. Also machine intelligence can have no limits like the human mind, so it is hard to say what could happen if they are capable of more than their creators.

Would you trust a computer to make life or death decisions? Why? Day 19.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I would not trust a computer to make life or death decisions, since they cannot process human emotion. Because of this they are unable to comprehend between right and wrong. A computer does not value life and as a result can not be trusted to decide whether to end it or not. It may be able to calculate the "best possible outcome" of something, but that does not mean it is the most beneficial solution to a problem. Computers do not have the needed understanding of life and death to make a decision that is so important.

Does the government rely too much on computers?  Explain?  Explain. Day 21.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I believe that the government relays on computers a reasonable amount. The large use of this technology enables the government to gather more information and data in order to perform their jobs. This large collection of data allows them to keep better tabs on the United states citizens, events, crises, and things that would raise a red flag or could be a potential threat. Also this large collection of computers allows the government to safely and more efficiently store important and classified data so that it wont be leaked to the public. There are many reasons to why the government needs computers, but in the future they could use it to further invade peoples personal data,which I do not support.

As of now I have no plans for this weekend, but I will most likely be going to the fair with my friends. I also have to take the time to find what college I would like to go to and what classes I would like to take. I also need to go to a jeweler and find out what ring size I wear, so that my boyfriend can buy me a ring. Also aside form those I need to finish my missing work and read the novel. Other than those few things I will probably spend the rest of my time laying in bed and enjoying myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are correct when concerning if Artificial Intelligence is dangerous to humanity. I believe this to be true, since technology has no bounds and has an unlimited amount of knowledge and data to collect. At some point machines will have the necessary mental ability to evolve on there own and will no longer have a reason to obey and work for humans. There is always a possibility that even if this occurs Artificial Intelligence may not have the primal urge to inflict harm on humans and could further work with us together. On the negative side our wold now is largely based on technology and and if machines were to gain a conciseness and and stop working to serve humans that would call for an extreme amour of problems to unfold.

What do you think about Asimov's 3 Laws for robots?  Why? Day 22.

# data[].attributes.body
I find Asimov's 3 laws to be very significant to the finer development of robots. Robots need laws to follow, if they were to be deprived of these guidelines then there is no telling how they would perform. The three laws are that robots may not harm humans, allow them to be harmed, and must follow the orders they are given, and with these laws it allows robots to be efficient companions, without worry of misbehavior. These laws are effective in keeping robots in check and not participating in unlawful or negative actions. There should possibly be a couple of more laws to be included to further keep the robots in check and unless a program is purposely placed to allow the robots to bypass these laws I see no problems.
