Better Late, Than Never

  A.I.: FRIEND OR FOE? Hello World     It seems like we can't go anywhere today without some sort of reminder of the ever-rapid growth and integration of artificial intelligence in our day-to-day lives. Whether it's our favorite search engine trying to persuade us to use their "revolutionary" A.I., or "Siri" wanting us to order a pizza by pressing a button and yelling "I WANT PIZZA" at our square pieces of metal, glass, and plastic. And no matter how we feel about it, it seems like artificial intelligence will have more and more of an impact and say-so on our day-to-day lives the more time passes. But with every revolutionary technology, we have to proceed cautiously because the faster we rush a powerful technology such as artificial intelligence into our everyday lives, the less we will be prepared for the inevitable downfalls of said technology.  The scariest story I've heard about artificial intelligence actually took place in Scottsdale, Ar...

Now, I can simply turn on a CPU or phone, press a few buttons or keys, and I have that very magazine at my fingertips. Instantly. On the exact same date every month. It's truly amazing.

  Hello World     Welcome to my blog. My name is Justin Bullard and here you will find a collection of my thoughts and opinions on various topics over the course of the next few months. I look forward to sharing my viewpoints and life endeavors with all of you, and I hope that my escapades and wisdom (at least that's what I call it) can inspire someone out there to never give up on their dreams--no matter how "late" you may be. "If it's still in your mind, it's worth taking the risk." -Unknown      Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I am 37 years old, I've been married to my lovely wife Jeneva for 16 years, and we have 3 beautiful girls together. I am currently going to school full time at Glendale Community College where I am focusing on a degree in Visual and Performance Arts, with an emphasis on music. Speaking of music, it is one of my favorite hobbies, from listening to music to creating it; I just absolutely love  music and I...
