Module 2 - Discussion 2

My Response:

After I read about cognitivism and learning theories on both blogs, the three theorists address persuasive points of view. Downes indicated that people are like computers. For instance, Downes states that if machines continue to evolve by displaying visceral emotions. At this point, behaviorism could regain it place in society (Downes, p. 3). These are convincing arguments, but we must remember that humans construct computers and that we are responsible for how computers think and learn. The more we perfect them the less there are jobs available for individuals.
