Instructions: Write a 200 words essay on sharing your personal experiences with regards to: a) mobile
Phones, b) internet surfing during Attending school and facing the pandemic and the social media.
This year, students no longer go to school to listen and learn properly but use cellphones to study
and listen to what teachers are teaching, only meeting using social media. Big changes have happened today
in our country. During the pandemic students still face the online class. Sometimes our online class does not
continue due to weak connection. But one day we did an online class using the google meet or zoom
application and then our instructor would give paper works or activities in the google classroom or Edmodo
application. We pass it 3-4 days sometimes another instructor 7 days before passing. They provide
announcement and update in social media they use messenger for us to be updated. There are actually
students who can't attend online classes due to the very weak connection. As students who only use data
connection. Lacking financial, no load so not participating in online class. The situation of our connection
and education is very difficult today, but we must face well the test that is coming to our country. Always be
brave and patient in our online class. What is happening in the world is just the beginning so let's work
together with faith in God.

Exercise 2. Movie Marathon on NetFlix I-Robot

Instruction. Watch the film entitled I Robot. Answer the following guide questions below.
I, Robot (stylized as i,robot) is a 2004 American science fiction action film directed by Alex Proyas.. The
film stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, and Alan
Tudyk. In 2035, highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the dystopian[2] world,
operating under three rules to keep humans safe. Detective Del Spooner (Smith) investigates the alleged
suicide of U.S. Robotics founder Alfred Lanning (Cromwell) and believes that a human-like robot (Tudyk)
murdered him.
1. What is a robot?
- a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions
automatically. The robot closed the door behind us
2. What are the Advantages and Dis-advantages of robots?
- The advantages of Robots have some sensors/actuators which are more capable than humans. Unlike
humans, robots don’t get bored and until they wear out, they can do the same thing again and again. The
disadvantages of robots, although robots can be superior to humans in some ways, they are less dexterous
than humans, and they don’t have such powerful brains, and cannot compete with a human’s ability to
understand what they can see.
3. Do you think that this fiction movie will exist on the future? How and Why?
- The robots haven’t just landed in the workplace, they’re expanding skills, moving up the corporate ladder,
showing awesome productivity and retention rates, and increasingly shoving aside their human counterparts.
One multi-tasker bot, from Momentum Machines, can make a gourmet hamburger in 10 seconds and could
soon replace an entire McDonald’s crew. A manufacturing device from Universal Robots doesn’t just solder,
paint, screw, glue, and grasp it builds new parts for itself on the fly when they wear out or bust. And just this
week, Google won a patent to start building worker robots with personalities
4. What is the moral lesson of the movie?
- The moral of the story Robots is that not always technology can be controlled by us, especially when you
give them a lot of autonomy in decisions, you always have to be careful to avoid technology revolution
