  1. The new technology could also potentially impact how we learn.But critics caution about the hazards of increasingly human-like technologies. We're hardwired to believe that machines with an avatar or a human sounding voice have empathy, and care for us as a human would.

  2. I think this technology is both cool and strange. It's an A.I. that looks and acts like a normal human. It can be really weird to see something that looks completely human, but you know that its a computer program. It's still really cool to see how much technology is advancing.

  3. I think is really cool is that the way they use those thing as a real life and i really like how that had those glasses thing to see in the future and use the remote thing to move around.

  4. I know this new technology is little strange in many ways. What is technology is even for and why did they make it. It seems cool and all but I wouldn't use it in any type of way.

  5. I thinks its strange. But people don't seem to mind because one already has an Instagram called lilmiquela she has 1.4 million followers and is even has a blue check. If they keep creating more robots that look like humans and their isn't a law against it I guess its okay. But I still think it's strange.

  6. I think technology gets better and better each day. It seems that we are just moving forward into the future rather then back into the past. For example Leap's new AI assistant takes a big step into the future. It looks alarmingly human and its helpful in many situations. Inventions like these can only make the world a easier and better place.

  8. This tech. may impact the way we get information. The hazards are human-like. In my opinion though i think it's cool on how things could change and it would affect the world as we know it in the world of technology. It's also a little weird and so things are moving.

  9. I think that this technology can be cool in it's own way but it's a;so a little strange. For instance, imagine using it in public but at the same time its like an imaginary friend. Someone only you can see and speak too. This isn't something I plan on buying or seems its worth.

  10. I think its cool new technology is exciting most of the time.

  11. Technology can be both cool and strange. The strange thing about Mica is that she seems so realistic but you know that she is a computer program that is there to assist you. Despite that fact, it is cool to see technology become advanced in such a way that we have a virtual reality assistant that seems almost human.

  12. I think the technology that Mica has is amazing, but the fact that she looks like a human is a little creepy to me. Mica can control smart devices like phones, TV's, and stereos with the voice commands you give her. The article said you can see mica if you wear the reality glasses made by Magic Leap, the company who made Mica. The disturbing part of this article is that you cannot see Mica if you don't have the glasses on. It is very unnerving to know that there is something around you that you cannot see unless you use a special piece of equipment, in my opinion. However, the innovative technology Mica has and her abilities are still major advancements and achievements.

  13. I think its weird how they had everything set up especially how they had the people moving, but it is a good idea though.

  14. i think the technology is off the charts good but its sort of weird because when your in public its going to look like your talking to yourself

  15. i feel like technology is always getting better ever day.We are just going more and more in the future because of this great technology. some people are going to feel that this is a little strange but after a little it will be a common thing.

  16. I think technology is cool because it can help enhance the way we think about everything.

  20. I think technology is really cool it allows us to do alot of things

  21. I feel that it is cool and strange. It is cool because technology is advancing more and more. But it is also strange because they are making them more human like.

  22. strange because one day they will get hacked soon or later like anything and go haywire

  23. It is very strange to me, but also very interesting.

  24. Its cool and strange. Its cool since it is such an improvement from the other AI assistants. But it is quite strange that it is human that can only be seen wearing the reality glasses.

  25. This technology scares me. It only contributes to the negative things that keep a human being separated from the rest of society. For one, people are already distracted by cell phones. Two, I don't trust that these companies will not spy on me. A smart phone is one thing, but a smart speaker at home, and now an Augmented Reality AI that is with you wherever you go and has total control over your home, is very scary. I don't want to see a day when I'm locked in my house against my will, just because, just because, for no understandable reason. I also don't trust this history augmented reality. Despite the fact that when this does launch, and things like this will be monitored, there is already much corruption in the elite class. History might just be turned into propaganda. That's all the news seems to be. I want as little outside interference that I can possibly get, so while this seems cool in a science fiction movie, we now have to realize what science fiction will really be like when it becomes reality.

  26. This new technology is scary yet cool. It is scary because nowadays everything is about technology and we are becoming more and more lazy everyday.

  27. I think this invention is spectacular and shows how far technology has come from and how it will always be advancing. Mica is a very realistic voice assistant like siri or alexa. Mica is just the beginning. The company is encouraging computer developers to build similar assistants on its platform.

  28. I believe this technology is really cool because it is fun how realistic it looks in the virtual reality. Jacob has a point, it is a little intimating that these could end up controlling our homes in the future. But overall, I feel technology is going to help us discover more things we couldn't. Technology is what pushes this generation into the future. Yes, I understand in some movies there have been plenty of times to where technology fired back on us, but that does not mean we can't at least improve or discover new things. Overall, I think this ai assistant is pretty cool.

  31. I think this new technology would be cool but strange at times. Mica seems like a new technology that is different and she could bring more customers to Magic Leap. This technology could put a positive impact on the world because it would help with how we learn.

  32. It looks cool but its weird. To me I wouldn't try it just by how weird it is but its a good idea. This is my idea on this.

  33. I think technology gets better every day and every minute. The virtual person looks really real and that's kind of creepy but cool at the same time. It's creepy because the person isnt real. It's cool because technology has advanced that much to where it is able to get every detail of a person's attributes. This is a good advancement to technology in the future.

  34. I believe that the prototype is a little too advanced for our generation.i think that it can access our personal information and could be used against us. although the tech is really helpful and useful, i still genuinely believe that this is a little too far.

  35. The AI is pretty cool, very advanced compared to other AI companies and so-so. It could be a good thing, very affected in helping.

  36. As cool as technology is, I believe that it is very unpredictable. Many things can go wrong with the kind of technology that have been invented lately and it can cause problems to society which can hurt us greatly. Having an AI around can cause some problems like they can glitch badly and cause great harm to you and those around it. Doing something like this will have to take more time and lots of tests so it won't be able to act out badly.

  38. I think the technology is really cool. I wouldn’t get one myself because I feel like robots are going to take over the world. I’ve always thought that and as people are progressing with this technology it’s only further proving my point.

  39. I don't really feel comfortable with robots at all because of the way they are portrayed in the movie industry. But, this technology is very cool and this just proves the point that technology is getting better and better by the day.

  40. I think this is really cool. It can have a positive impact on technology. Although it is unpredictable because anything can happen and it can turn on you in a split second. Having an AI can be beneficial to humans, they can be put to good use and assist humans in anything that they need help with.

  41. In all honesty, this new tech is a little cringy. I believe the more reliance we have on technology, the more we dig ourselves in a social hole, when it comes to face to face interactions. It may be positive in some aspects but I believe the cons far outweigh the pros.

  42. I think it's strange point blank period. Why would you replace actual people with an AI? I think this weird idea will keep growing in the future and I don't like it.

  43. I think that this new high tech is very unpredictable. Its a possibility that this can be a fail and Why would someone want to replace real people with an Al?...that's just crazy. - Ashlan Loyell

  44. I think its a little weird. It just seems too real and I would rather just talk to Siri.

  45. In my opinion, I strongly believe the new tech is cool and with the introduction of new inventions work will be more interesting to do.

  46. A Computer/Machine that is made to Mimick a human is amazing for technology and as a race we can continue and create things BUT we have make sure we don’t get consumed by it.

  47. I think this would be both a positive/negative thing. The reason why I think this is a positive is because that mean we can truly involve in technology and make more inventions. Then it could be a negative because then over time people would get to lazy to do the job themselves. Then none would be working except for these.
