Babies' Brain It is well known that babies are using almost all of their brain and in contrast adults are using only small part of their brain. This means babies cannot concentrate on one thing, but adults can do so. I think that there is a reason that explains it. You adults obviously know what you are sitting on is a chair, what you are wearing are clothes and what you are breathing is air. But it's not correct actually. There are just stuff made out of molecules in the world. We just made boundaries, named them and classified them "in our brain". To tell the truth there are no boundary in the world. When we do exercise water seep out of our skin, we sweat, and the water leave our skin and become a vapor. Similarly, we use a humidifier to moisturize our skin. The vapor comes from the humidifier floating around your room attaches to your skin and seep into you. This world is continuous. We are just making boundary and naming each of them to understand this continuous world. This classification has been helped us to do intellectual activities. On the other hand, babies don't know such kind of classification. They are overwhelmed by all the signals they get from their sensors. They don't know classification, so they cannot concentrate on a part of their signals. They are concentrating on everything. This must be the reason of their amazing development. We adults are editing(please tell me more proper word) the information we get from the world by using brain. It is a good thing, but it also has a bad effect. The editing keeps us in a ordinary frame of understanding. To get an unconventional idea it might be good to be like a baby.

Artificial Intelligence Google's AI DeepMind beat European Go champion. Go is a board game that has been considered to be one of the most difficult games to be mastered by AI. The development of AI is so fast today, so some people are thinking that computers will transcend humans and threaten us in the near future. I am going to consider whether this technological singularity will happen or not. Human brain is consists of about 100 billion neurons, and I think that human brain can be considered as an aggregation of simple mechanisms. We humans tends to think that we are special and different from computers, because we have consciousness. However, we don't know what the consciousness is. If we have consciousness, it will be natural to think that other living things also have consciousness, but we don't know the boundary between living things and non-living things. I think that consciousness can be considered as an aggregation of universal property that things have. This means all the things out there, including AI might have consciousness. If you roughly look at the function of human brain, it gets information from sensors, then compute, evaluate and memorize them and send signals. I think that highly developed AI will be able to do this. I would like to think that living things are not special, so I am looking forward to technological singularity happening. The development of AI might make us reconsider about the boundary between living things and non-living things. I would appreciate it if you would tell me your idea of AI.

Podcast When I was a child, TV show was miraculously attractive. After school, I rushed my home and watched my favorite TV show. Almost all the information I got was from TV. The existence of TV must have decreased the amount of listeners of radio. Today, however, the Internet made it quite easy to broadcast yourself or make videos and share them with a lot of people. The internet made it possible you to access to thousands of videos at any time. You don't need to go home until your favorite program starts, or record the program the day before any more. In the situation filled with a lot of information, I think that now is the time to go back to audio contents. A radio or podcast for instance. When you are watching video contents you have to look at the screen or the tablet. The restriction of your eyes also restricts your action. You cannot cook while watching videos. However you can do almost anything while listening radio or podcast. This is why I'm now paying attention to podcast to improve my English listening skills. If you have your favorite podcast, please tell me.
