Machines taking away from Humans

Many of us like to watch the college NCAA tournament. Well little did we know that slowly computers are taking the job away from humans behind the scenes. In a recent article I read it stated that every shot, rebound, post-up, and dunk are all captured on five different cameras that take up to 25 frames per second. In the past this is what humans had to do. We had to calculate in our heads the percentage of a win and who would do well facing off against someone. In the article is stated how this method is becoming obsolete and how advanced computers are using complicated algorithms to predict games and how this method is much more affective.

I  feel that this method is not better than the human hand technique. Yes it may be faster but the results are still the same and I believe that a human has better knowledge about humans and their instincts on the field and how they will play in certain situations than a computer does. For example I relied heavily on the computer generated percentages for the likely hood of the winners that I picked for my brackets and well my bracket didn't even get past the first round. So I believe that humans can do the stats job as good if not better than the machines.

About Me

                Hello I am Justin Taylor. I am 16 years old and go to Creighton Prep on Omaha Nebraska.  I do cross fit and play on the varsity lacrosse team and I am very well-Traveled. I have spent much of my young life traveling the world with my family seeing things a kid my age only dreams of. I have been all through the Caribbean, east and west sides of it. I zip lined through theirs forests. I explored underground caves. I even was able to scuba dive some of their most beautiful coral reefs.  I have been in and around Europe. I cruised through the Mediterranean Sea and visited some of the most exquisite places I have ever seen. I have seen where gladiators have fought and died. I have seen a place where ash had come down so fast that it left a person’s body still molded in the ash.  I have seen the Parthenon where they worshipped the great goddess of Athena. I watched a master wine maker make some of the best tasting wine in the world. My next adventure is six months away. I am going to Australia and Indonesia. I will explore the Komodo Island and Dive the Great Barrier Reef.
