Coding

Computer programming and coding also called writing software is recitation processes (a series of actions or steps taken to achieve an end), procedures (a series of actions conducted in a certain order) and making algorithm (an ordered set of steps to solve a problem). Computer programming is designing a set of steps of a computer to do in order to complete a task. It is said that computer programming is like explaining how to make a sandwich. A computer programmers job is to, “the programmer's job is to convert problem solutions into instructions for the computer. That is, the programmer prepares the instructions of a computer program and runs those instructions on the computer, tests the program to see if it is working properly, and makes corrections to the program. The programmer also writes a report on the program.” A computer engineer mainly work on computer hardware.

Technological Singularity


 Technological Singularity also called "The Singularity" is when the growth of the mind and power of computers grows at such a high speed the it changes the world and role of the humans in it. Technological singularly purposed by many people like Ray Kurzweil who is famous for many different theories including this one. He predicted that "we will be neurologically hooked up to computers in the not too distant future, that technology will do more good than harm."  Also that the singularity will end the human civilization.   
With the exponential growth of technology it can now do thinks that it could never do before. For example just about 13 years ago there were no keyboard on cell phones but now there are keyboards that can learn the you like to type and what you might say next. A.I. computers like Waston, which is a supercomputer that was seen on jeopardy and destroyed just about every human that faced him is a type of A.I. computer in which there are two. There are specialized and general purpose.There are also apps like cleaverbot that learn from past experiences to text like a human. Just looking at what technology can do now in the near future it will definitely surpass humans in my opinion. 
I personally think that it will happen but I don't know if it will end the human race. Because I think that humans will come up with a way not let that happen.
