Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The new technology "Facial Acting Coding System" or FACS, would not be useful in a classroom enviroment today, the creator Eckman has this new technology set up with 6 main emotions; Happiness, Surprise, Anger, Fear, Sadness and Discust. The idea could be great for classroom use, but the way I feel that it would be exicuted seems ike a viloation of privacy and an unecissary cost to schools.

In the article it is said that the FACS technology could be used in a classroom setting, it could tell if a student was bored or confused to possibly change the lesson to be more interesting. This seems that it could also be an evasion of this students privacy. If they are really sad becuase of home problems or other things, the student may not want the program or the teacher to know about it. With this type of software you could really evaide someones privacy and there personal thoughts.

The article also says that a home computer can not compute the algorythims that this program is running, does that mean the school is going to have to get a "super computer" just to know if a student finds a topic in school intresting. I feel that the cost all together is not worth it, becuase why would someone who has spent so much time and money on the technology give it away for free. It seems like a lot of work for Eckman to give it out for free, even if it were to better education.

One other problem with this FACS technology is how accurate is it, could a student fake a emotion just to not learn a new subject that is hard. I'm sure that most people can fake an emotion to get something, a lot of people when they were children have faked an emotion to get something, weather that was candy or a new toy. Most people have done it, wether or not you have.

I do not feel that there is need for a program like this to be put into schools, if this program were to be put into advertising then it would be very profitable. But in a class room situation it is not needed at all, there is really no value to have this in our classrooms with all of the questions that we still have about it, along with the technology not being 100 percent accurate.
