Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The way that a detective can identify lying, or truthfulness is impressive to people, while decoding emotions is definitely a little more complicated. Even if it may seem like its easy to tell how someone's feeling, and you can see your friend is simply upset, or excited, like the article said, explaining them and reading more complicated emotions, most likely isnt as easy. Technology to read our emotions is definitely a sign that software is getting more advanced, but not neccecarily more helpful. This software of course can be benfited from in ways of entertainment and efficiencey in technology, but in classrooms, I think that it's a different debate. And my thoughts of this in classrooms are that it's pretty much the opposite of helpful.

In this article, the example they use to show how it could be efficient in schools is '"a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." and then goes on to say how the software could change the lesson for them, or give some help. What would an average student (saying this software isnt yet in classrooms) do

in the same situation? Raise their hand, ask for help from a teacher, and get personal help just the same way the technology would solve the problem. To be fair though, not all students have an available teacher, or some work at home, what could those students do? Contact someone else (like a teacher for example in online school), figure it out, and eventually understand the problem all the same. With this technology of course, the idea is that the student doesnt have to put in any effort of asking for help, and could identify the eventual solution by just showing emotion. Worded differently, this entire example of how classroom

computers are beneficial, could become a statement of flaws in this idea.

Firstly, the software could most likely be easily tricked, and for the evidence of students easily being able to get help & manipulate the lesson by emotions, the student could also manipulate the lesson purposefully, using the softwares features to easily get ahead in problems, or simply not put much effort into understanding it. For the point of ease becuse of the software with students who are simply confused is a good point, but what about the lessons that communicating teaches them? The future of their life isnt going to be only technology-based, and what happens when people rely too much on the ease of simply getting their emotions read, and start to not as easily communicate with actual people. Not everone can see what troubles you're having just by looking. What would someone think when they are trying to convey a certiain feeling and no one notices (because its definitely not that easy for normal people to understand how someone is feeling) , and thats what being around others and asking for help/ communicating their feelings prepeares them for. They would learn to talk to others, and problem solve not only in social situations but also in educational ones.

In this article, the way that its written shows

many possibilities for this technology, but when it comes to the software replacing communication even if just simply in school, it isnt neccesarily beneficial. Students would rely too much on the technology in my view as a student, and even if it seems helpful at first read, the technology could modify simple values like sharing feelings, communicating, and even interacting within future generations. Not neccesarily saying that it would get that far into the idea of 'technology is taking over values' but replacing basic things like teachers and showing strong emotions could definitely reverse the efiiciency of human communication.

Using words from their article "Your home PC cant handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile," and in my words neither can people, so learn to show how you feel, strongly, without expecting someone to tell

you the percents.
