Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Technology is getting smarter and better and is now able to percieve the chaotic idea that is emotion. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, a new technology is introduced that is able to read emotion using algorithims based on our facial muscles. Technology such as this can be incredibly effective in a lot of fields, whether it be games, advertisements or art. Howver this technology does not hold much value inside of a classroom.

To be able to apply this technology to a classroom, a teacher would have to have a computer or multiple computers with the software installed and cameras constantly monitering the students. Although the cost of this is unkown, the application of the technology cant be cheap. In the article it says "... modify the lesson like an effective instructor." This sentence implies that the computer would also have to substitute the teacher and programs would have to be made to teach the kids.

The biggest problem is that there is a lack of human presence on the teaching methods that come with this technology. Human presence is undeniably irreplaceable when it comes to teaching, because a computer could never impart knowledge onto someone quite like the interactions between two human beings. A teacher is also able to eaily read the emotions of the students without the use of this technology. A teacher is also needed to moniter the classroom and is much more flexible.

Another problem is that the student may feel a lack of privacy from being costantly monitered. The students emotions could be put on full display at all times. The cameras or the computers could also easily beccme a distraction to the students. The computers may be able to moniter the behavior and emotions of a student, but other than changing the lesson plans, they can not do much about negative emotions a student is having. A student also needs a teracher to seek help and advice from the teacher.

Some students have faces that are "harder" to read. Students that have burns, scars, or other facial impairments will make the technology faulty or it will cease to work at all. Other students have habits like leaning their heads on there hands or other habits that cause some of the face to not be visible. This can also affect the technology and it may be inaccurate.

All people think different and the ways that we learn are also not all the same. A good teacher is able to recognize these ways and can adapt so that the studnt will learn the material better. A computer is not able to tell these things from just the emotions someone is having.

Technology that can read emotions is truly wonderful, but is uneeded in a classroom. A teacher can already accomplish all of the things the computer can do inside of a classroom much better, and is able to create interactions with a student. The cost and likely innacuracies in reading emotions are also cons, along with the lack of flexibility. Computers that can read emotion are usefull in many different situations, not including a classroom.
