Today we are going to outline our papers, so you won't have to struggle through it this weekend. Your goal by this Monday is to have a complete and finished paper for peer review next week...
But first, let us work with an example:
Cyberspace is a term coined by William Gibson for his book Neuromancer.
Avatar is coined by another author talking about virtual representations and hindu deities.
As a group, come up with the new term.
Get into groups and let us define this idea with examples:
- Give at least three
- Give us your full definition.
With a working thesis that "Robots are human creations that will destroy human life as we know it."
What are ways we can illustrate this definition?
