Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. I don't believe that this technolgy can help read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because it is not as useful as you might think.

For example, say you were a student in class and you had a crush on someone in your classroom. Would the computer come out to everyone in the class that you have romantic feelings toward someone inside you? That would be very embarassing. It would also seem to be a breach of privacy in my opinion. If someone prefers to keep their emotions to themselves, then they wouldn't feel very comfortable with a computer in the same room as them that would be able to read their facial expressions and ultimately their emotions.

Also, it will most certainly be very expensive. A computer of that type of quality would likely cost schools thousands of dollars. That's way over most schools' budgets. Facturing in that computer would cause huge spikes in the electricity bill and ultimately cause schools to shut down because they can't pay their bills. Especially if those computers are in every classroom. That would not be very cost effective for most schools in the first place.

In addition to that, it's not very practical. It is almost certain to start to malfunction because of the many different complex emotions that humans have and the sheer amount of students' emotions that the computer would have to keep account of. It will most likely not work after one or two classes.

To recap, I don't really believe that this type of technology should and/or will be used in a classroom setting. There are too many things to account for. There are so many different emotions that even as us humans can't detect that well, let alone a computer that us as humans made! Also, the likely cost of this technology will be extremely pricey and not a lot of schools will be able to afford the computers nor want them in the first place.
