Regarding the future of Natural Language processors I managed to find this site:

This article covers the current and futures of of NLPs. Going in depth about which companies use this type of software and why they use it. I tend to agree with this articles' take on the direction of NLPs. The use of this system to save money, and allow companies to have tech. support 24 hours a day definitely makes this a useful system.  After reading this article I'm curious about the potential of SLPs.

This article talks about how unmanned aircraft has evolved. Interestingly enough it talks about the change in the military's approach. There has been an unmanned dogfight, and soon enough pilot aces will sit in chairs back home with a remote control in hand instead of a jet. I'm not completely sure that I agree with this assessment though. I'm am curious to know if unmanned aircraft of indeed more effective than manned aircraft.

Homework 5 Assignment 1 a)

From the 'Last Lecture' the thing that stuck out the most about this guy,  and his last lecture was his ability to take real specific and nearly impossible dreams, and regardless of the outcome (whether he achieves said dream or not) he always had a positive experience from the challenge of trying to achieve that dream. I know for myself that seems to be the biggest struggle I face from day to day. Taking positive experiences from negative outcomes. This movie really helped me understand the importance of this, because all-in-all when I able to realize my death I want to handle it exactly like he does.
