Hello again in my new weekly blog I am coming with an interesting topic. I would like to connect today's topic with a famous principle: if a person has control over any function, it can also be used to control the computer. To stick to this I will show the voice control systems in our everyday life. Some of you may have already figured it out. I will talk about Alexa, Google Assist and Siri.

I have less experience with Amazon Alexa so I will start with that. Amazon released its device in 2013 or as far as I know Amazon copied its device from Ivona. This assistant system works as an AI and with internet connection the user is able to voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, sports, and other real-time information, such as news. Alexa is able to control a lot of smart home devices like lamp switch thermostat or car charging. The biggest advantage is Amazon lets users install third party software on the device. My first connection with Amazon Alexa is one of a South Park episode when they let two Alexa speech with each other. Let's move on to the Siri Apple assistant. Apple also bought the company originally Siri Inc wanted to develop assistants on Android, Ios and black berry devices as well until Apple bought the company in 2010. Siri can do everything that Alexa can expect from the third party installation and based on my experience Siri most effectively learn what the user likes and such, For example if I search a restaurant on Safari it will suggest that restaurant next time. If you want to know how smart Siri is, just watch the movie Her. Of course it does not work like that today but it will for sure in the future. My personal favorite and I use it day by day is Google Assistant which was developed from Google Now. Its release was in 2016 with Pixel phones, it is really smart and extremely compatible with any home automation device. It can make dialogue with a person and learn the user's habits. 

I hope you enjoyed this week's blog meeting on Sunday.

Hello again, I am going to talk about the development of computers basically from ENIAC to IPad. Where to start if not at the beginning.  The first question is what is computing when someone counts computing. When the first humans started to count with their fingers in 2700-3000 BC, I would not say that it was computing. I think it starts when it is connected with electricity. To give respect to others I will introduce those machines that were used for computing without any transistors or even without any other power supply than a human. Antikythera mechanism used in 100 BC it was used for astronomical computing In grammar school I had to learn to calculate on  slide rules. I hated that I felt useless to use such a thing when calculators exist. Let's move on to real computers.. I am sure everybody has heard about Alan Turing. Actually there is a quite good movie about his life, The Theory of Everything. Basically he is the father of AI. He invented the procedure with the help of wh

  Hello everyone it is me again and today I am going to talk about the relation of IT and ethics, more particularly about ethical egoism. I would like to start with an example so Jack believes that Jill should promote her own interest in accordance with ethical egoism. Jack might believe this, but he isn't going to tell Jill. He looks to his own interest first. This means that whatever we do for our benefit it is ethical to do so and it is not considered unethical to not act against our interest. Let's move to the IT field. How does this example connect to IT? We need to consider a situation, this can be a variation of things from a job and its compensation to competing for a position or a pay raise. For instance a freelancer make their own set of rules and can determine the amount of compensation they want in return. Most of the time it is considered rude but they are right in a way. They are a one-man team, doing a lot of hard tasks on a very high level and please be honest w

  Hello again, it me and the following Sunday blog is going to be about bad ergonomics examples mostly from console playing. I have been playing on console since first class so I have pretty much experience. There are two constructions that I think we need to talk about. At the beginning of this market vendors tried to show everything they had. It led to the same very bad design controller or the idea preceded its age. I cannot remember which birthday of mine was that when I got a very special present it was a controller to my Playstation. Its name is Jogoc. It has a very weird design because it has a steering wheel in the middle of the device. Its purpose was to drive more precisely in the racing games than the traditional controller. For obvious reasons it did not live up to expectations. Let’s move on to the next example which is called Soul controller. It was designed for samurai games. I would try that again with the ghost of tushima for sure, of course with some updated gyroscope
