<p>omg and what about the Kasparov/computer one?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, totally forgot that one. Maybe I didn't sleep enough last night, because my memory's really spotty now.</p>
<p>i forgot to mention i also had the lobster one. :-)</p>
<p>Questions for Kasparov/computer networks passage:</p>
<p>What does "bound" mean in context?( In the line "A computer was bound to beat out a chessmaster someday..")
-"destined"</p>
<p>The first sentence of the second paragraph "How will this impact the worldwide...?" serves to:
-widen the scope of the discussion</p>
<p>In the second paragraph, networks are portrayed as:
-insidious forces taking over the world</p>
<p>In the last paragraph, it focuses on:
-"computers and people working together to benefit"</p>
<p>Why is the "landscape of cyberspace" compared to "landscape of chess board?"
a) Implies that network users have a wide variety of options to choose from.
b) Implies that like chess, new programs have a winner and loser
c) Both network users and chessplayers appreciate the aesthetic value of nature.</p>
<p>that's weird, i totally don't remember the "bound/destined" question.. i really hope it's just me and i didn't acidenatally skip it. i certainly had enough sat's for today, i think i'll take a walk.</p>
<p>actually, i don't think i had any of them! maybe it's the phrasing.</p>
<p>More on Kasparov:</p>
<pre><code> What would be an example of the "historic achievement" in the first paragraph?
-A computer wins a prestigious competition with a song composition.
</code></pre>
<p>(The computer beating out Kasparov was a historic achievement in that it was a computer defeating an artist. Chess was compared to art, so songwriting is continuing the example.)</p>
<p>Why would humans be "blindsided" by the networks?
-They do not anticipate how networks will transform the world?</p>
<p>What does the quote " networks make people feel like they are just part of a large multicellular organism that doesn't care about their needs or desires?" mean?
-Networks make people feel powerless and insignificant.</p>
<p>my cell question had one word answers, i picked "autonomy"</p>
<p>Did anyone have the vocab question about the cashier lady and the customer was being rude or something.</p>
<p>I think i put inocuous or something like that... it was choice b im almost sure?</p>
<p>No, it was A: truculent. Pretty much guessed on that, but I got it right :)</p>

<p>for the one about politics, what did you guys put for the authors view of liberals?</p>
<p>What about the sentence completion about impressionist painters and "renegade" as a choice? Was that experimental?</p>
<p>The arguments of liberals are hackneyed and ???.</p>
<p>I remember this because it described the liberals' response as "worn-out."</p>
<p>^ i put the same. thanks</p>
<p>What about the sentence completion about impressionist painters and "renegade" as a choice? Was that experimental?</p>
<p>i dont remember that. I had the lobster test. Im guessing thats it</p>
<p>For the politics passage im pretty sure its "intellectual sport"</p>
<p>Also, is "Looking back in retrospect" redundant? I marked that as an error.</p>
<p>^ Yes, that would be redundant. That was the answer.</p>
<p>i didn't put intellectual sport... i put something else.</p>
<p>if it was the same one as the one about liberals being hackneyed i put the hackneyed answer....</p>
<p>but if they were two different questions then i put hackneyed for that one and i didnt ut intellectual sport for the other :-)</p>
