My Research Topic..For Now

The research idea that I'm interested in researching is Portraying Robots in Film.  I plan on using the movie "I, Robot."  I have never seen the entire film, I have only seen parts of it when I happened to see it on television.  The main character is Will Smith who investigates a crime done by a robot.  I'm interested in researching this topic because a lot of movies have been portraying robots with human characteristics and I would like to see how much truth is in the films.

About Me_1st Blog Post

Hello, I'm Regina Armand and this is my ENG 103 Blog!

A little bit about me...

  • I'm a Communications major at Laguardia Community College and I will be graduating with my Associates Degree in June 2014.  I plan on continuing my education at Hofstra University, majoring in broadcast journalism. I would like to be an anchor woman.  I plan on graduating from Hofstra University with my Bachelors and Masters Degree.  
  • My favorite kinds of films are action films but I also love comedy films, romance films, and the occasional suspenseful films.  My favorite types of books are romance novels.  I like modern romance stories with a suspenseful twist.  
  • As much as I enjoy some of the great benefits of technology, I would have to say I am a technology pessimist.  As a communications major, I love to communicate face to face and be able to hold intriguing conversations with others.  I feel that technology is causing people to loose their conversational skills.  A lot of people rely on technology to keep them company instead of communicating with actual people.  Unfortunately, as technology becomes more advanced I only see the worse in it.  
  • I think that a lot of people today are probably technology optimistic because of all of the great benefits technology has.  Also, I think a big portion of the world is okay with being indulged into technology as opposed to human relationships.
