An expert system- Reliability: We rely on the information to the answers given by the expert systems.
Value of the development of AI-
Various Applications of AI- Reliability: We can not rely on machines to perform in decision making tasks because they don't have reasoning like human beings do.
"Smart Machines"- Control: People would be controlled by these machines for and the interaction between humans would decrease.
Military applications of AI- Security: These smart weapons can be programmed incorrectly which may harm the lives of innocent civilians when used.
Computers using AI-
Access to Knowledge- Policies and standards: Humans standards can be different from the expert standards which differentiate with one another in decision making which can create havoc between the system and humans which also can be an example of people and machines.

Gaming Entertainment? Or training killers?
1.) Moore is reported to have told police, "Life is like a video game. Everybody’s got to die sometime." His brother Steve, a Methodist minister, wants the video game industry to pay: "Why does it have to come to a point to where somebody's life has to be taken before they realize that these games have repercussions to them? Why does it have to be to where my brother's not here anymore," says Steve Strickland. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him."
2.) Doug Lowenstein, who represents the video game industry. "I don't think video games inspire people to commit crimes," says Lowenstein. "If people have a criminal mind, it's not because they're getting their ideas from the video games. There's something much more deeply wrong with the individual. And it's not the game that's the problem."
3.) Violent video games shouldn't be sold to minors and that the states should consider laws that would ban the sale of violent games to those under 17.
4.) They should think twice before the game designers or companies to create such a violent game. They have all the responsibility upon every teenagers behavior since they created the game in the first place and now anyone can have their hands on the game even youngsters.

Equality of Access:-
not everyone is able to access the internet. It may be due to the country, or perhaps even just the area. Limited Internet access may be inaffordable.
People and Machines:-
The relationship between people and machines shift as you rely more on technology for entertainment and pleasure. The increasing popularity of online gaming is increasing human reliance upon machines.
Issues in regarding of online games is that people tend to get sick especially "pulling an all nighter" on Runescape which causes lack of sleep, lack of focus, fatigue and weakness.

Review Questions: Chapter 6
#1.
#2.
#3. image resolution and pixel depth
#4. A paint program and a photo program both operate on pixels. The are discrete points in an image whether captured from a camera or generated in a paint program. The differences are related to the effects and image processing you employ. In photo processing you often want to correct color, brightness, crop, and clean up an image. In painting you use brushes and other tools to create an image.
#5. CAD software:
-Architectural design: buildings/ bridges
-Floor plans: interior design/ remodeling/ buildings
-Mechanical design: Machinery/ parts/ milling
-Electrical Design: circuit design
3D Modeling:
-Medical: modeling of human organs for learning
-Convey Ideas: can create something that doesn't exist yet, so people have an idea of what it will look like.
-Video game development
-Simulators: flight/ training/ research and development
#6. Since an image is made up of pixels. The mega pixel rating on a camera contains approximately that many millions of pixels. Those quickly add up on your camera's memory card allowing to take pictures in the day or night.

DATABASES REVIEW
1.) Rational Databases Managements
2.) Appointments, Patients health information and prescriptions that are recommended
3.) Query
4.) Since it stores and organizes files in to a table which can be easily read
5.) Reliability that the database will have all the information drought down on a table
People and machines allows the users to connect with there databases
