ds 106radio: Android Dream of Electric Sheep?

While listening to the ds106radio I found it interesting to listen to the story ” Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep?” it was about a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, after a nuclear war. The main character Rick Deckard a bounty hunter who has to kill six androids that have escaped. When I tuned in I could already vividly see their setting almost like they are in a futuristic office-like building with the back ground noise of a computer humming and the doors sliding open and close. While Rick was walking into the building you could hear Rachel the android come closer to him by her heel pumps echoing throughout the hall. The background noise sets the mood for the scene of what is happening. The humming is similar to an old camera rolling while it’s playing the film. Rachel almost sounds like an artificial intelligence android. Apparently, Rachel is an artificial intelligence but she believes she is human and not an android because of how the exam went she did not set off any warning singles, that display she is an android. After they made Rachel take that exam. Captain Bryant and Rick had a conversation, I heard slight signs as if it was in real life. While Rick is talking with another person, you can hear the small echoes that make you think they are in a small empty room. This whole story sounds like a futuristic environment with old technology. With the background noises, including playing music from the ’60s. …Fast forward into the story it sounds like they are in a nightclub-type bar, with people talking, clapping, laughing, and with Ms. Love an actor is performing a jazz song. After he takes Ms. Love to the back to make her take the exam to prove that she is human she is hesitant to take the exam but Ms. Love was able to push the panic button on time for the police to arrive and take Rick. I enjoyed listening to the radio tonight, I was able to relax and almost watch the movie unravel in my mind.

Ideas for Upcoming Radio Show..

For this upcoming Radio Show, I’m excited to come up with ideas and collaborate with more students on this assignment. Since we have to correlate our Radio Show with the theme of the course, I thought of discussing how AI is becoming an everyday accessory in our daily lifestyle. before starting this course, I used to use a few AI applications such as, Siri asking questions about the weather, etc. Once I started this course, I started to use a lot more AI applications every day. I believe it has helped me expand my knowledge of how AI can assist in any type of situation. As well as, helping in the real world, such as creating a better work environment for some individuals. It can also help students on checking if they did their assignments correctly or give them ideas for certain projects. AI has had a major impact on the digitalization of society. For instance, it can generate special effects for movies, automate tasks, or even being able to create films, without needing a whole production team. Overall, the impact of AI is exciting and challenging because it has given us the chance to evolve the way we work, interact with technology, and communicate with others.
