Robots are able to do most human functions. They are able to drive cars (Driverless Cars Get California License) statistically better than humans. Without the factors of fatigue or distraction, a self-driving car would be able to drive, plus robots have better response time than humans. The driverless car is definitely something that I look forward too. Last week I was driving with some friends, and somehow ended up in a no outlet zone. I didn't even realize how we got there. So humans blanking out on the road can be common compared to a robot, which is never.
Humans are clearly able to make more errors than a robot. Granted, machines have made errors in the past, such as a robotic cannon accidentally firing during an exercise, taking 9 lives, (Should we put robots on trial?) but mistakes happen and we learn from them for the future.

Creativity and Social Media
When it comes to social media, I haven't been involved in it as I have been in the last 2 to 3 years. I enjoy animating. A great hobby and time killer that has results to please an audience. Below is a work that I did with custom voice acting that I rounded up after scouring the internet and then eventually making it to the front page of a website known as EquestriaDaily.

Using the free program "Source Filmmaker" and using many techniques, I was able to bring the project to life within a week. Shorts are shorts after all, although I'm glad it came out the way I had imagined.

Social Media
How many social media sites am I on? Way to many in my opinion, but there are communities I am a part of that are exclusive to these social media sites. The first one I joined was Youtube. Aftewards was deviantart, which I'm using more than I have 3 years ago since I started animating. After that was Facebook, then Twitter, then Reddit, and recently Tumblr (love cat gifs).
Youtube is obvious. I make videos, so naturally I want to share them. Also, I love viewing people's creativity and adding my thoughts on improvements or what I really liked on certain videos.
Deviantart I am there to comment on people's 3D modeling work and the occasional comic or 2D art. I also download a lot of resources for my animations from dA.
Facebook is Facebook. Chat with friends and see what's up with them.
Twitter for seeing what members of the Brony community and animators are up too. Always fun.
Reddit because I love memes.
Tumblr because I love gifs. Although I find it weird as to why Yahoo would buy it and not change anything about it. (Yahoo Acquires Tumblr, Promises Not to Screw Up) It seems the same to me before they bought it out. But the reactions from the hardcore users were hilarious from what I've seen in this article: http://mashable.com/2013/05/20/yahoo-officially-acquires-tumblr-promises-not-to-screw-it-up/
A virtual world is basically a simulation of the real world, for example "Second Life". (Going to the virtual office in Second Life) You have an avatar that you control that goes around doing what you would be doing in real life. There are some virtual worlds that are more on the fantasy side, such as "World of Warcraft". In these types of virtual worlds, you can explore dungeons, caves, and go on fictional adventures. In my virtual world, I'd totally want to take up a lightsaber and slash away at Sith lords and Droids. It'd be cool and something I couldn't experience in real life.
