Practice CAT # 2: The Cyborg Advantage

                  The most interesting idea in this article is being a team with human and machine smarts. First of all, a couple of amateurs used run-of-the-mill PCs and inexpensive apps in order to get the overall winner in online tournament. Next, the most wonderful entities on the earth are average-brained people who are literally good at combining their abilities with machines’.
                I believe that humans are smarter than machines because humans made every machine. Without human, there isn’t going to have machines. According to some games such as chess, it is true that humans are won by machines. Humans have endless developing brains that can think without limiting. But machine smarts are limited. As long as they don’t have updated programs or new software, they will be gone one day. Humans invented lots of machines in order to save their time and energy. On the other hand, they make them easy for doing a lot of stuffs such as people can surf in the internet and don’t need to spend the whole day to gather information what they want. Therefore, we can’t say machines are smarter than humans because people can control every step of machine that they invented.  In the same way, IBM’s supercomputer would win people at chess only few times but not forever. Everything machines aware in their memory is put in their brains by human. It’s far from comparing with human brains and doesn’t make sense at all. In fact, machines are such helping devices for people to make them easy, convenient and saving time or energy.

  1. Hey,
    I was reading your essay and i like your claim, but i feel you need to focus on it a little bit more. I think you need to separate your claim and the reason as two different paragraphs.

    " I believe that humans are smarter than machines because humans made every machine. Without human, there isn’t going to have machines.*do you mean:(Without humans,there wouldnt be any machines.)
    (this sentence should go right after your claim above)Humans invented lots of machines in order to save their time and energy.

    (This should be your evidence& seperate paragraph)According to some games such as chess, it is true that humans are won by machines.Humans have endless developing brains that can think without limiting. But machine smarts are limited. As long as they don’t have updated programs or new software, they will be gone one day."

    i think you should use quotes from the reading,and re read your sentences,other than that your ideas sound good.

    i hope that was helpful!
