Global commerce
Driverless vehicles whizz across five new berths at Tuas Mega
Port, which sits on a swathe of largely reclaimed land at the
western tip of Singapore. Unmanned cranes loom overhead,
circled by camera-fitted drones. The berths are the first of 21 due
by 2027. When it is completed in 2040, the complex will be the
largest container port on Earth, boasts PSA International, its
Singaporean owner.
Tuas is a vision of the future on two fronts. It illustrates how
port operators the world over are deploying clever technologies to
meet the demand for their services in the face of obstacles to the
development of new facilities, from lack of space to environmental
concerns. More fundamentally, the city-state’s investment, with
construction costs estimated at $15bn, is part of a wave of huge
bets by the broader logistics industry on the rising importance of
Asia, and South-East Asia in particular. The IMF expects the
region’s five largest economies—Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore,
the Philippines and Thailand—to be the fastest-growing bloc in the
world by trade volumes between 2022 and 2027. The result is that
the map of global commerce and the blueprints for its critical
nodes are being simultaneously redrawn.

Here’s why we’ll never be able to build a brain in a computer
It’s easy to equate brains and computers – they’re both thinking
machines, after all. But the comparison doesn’t really stand up to
closer inspection, as Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett reveals.
People often describe the brain as a computer, as if neurons are
like hardware and the mind is software. But this metaphor is
deeply flawed.
A computer is built from static parts, whereas your brain
constantly rewires itself as you age and learn. A computer stores
information in files that are retrieved exactly, but brains don’t
store information in any literal sense. Your memory is a constant
construction of electrical pulses and swirling chemicals, and the
same remembrance can be reassembled in different ways at
different times.
Brains also do something critical that computers today can’t. A
computer can be trained with thousands of photographs to
recognise a dandelion as a plant with green leaves and yellow
petals. You, however, can look at a dandelion and understand
that in different situations it belongs to different categories. A
dandelion in your vegetable garden is a weed, but in a bouquet
from your child it’s a delightful flower. A dandelion in a salad is
food, but people also consume dandelions as herbal medicine.
In other words, your brain effortlessly categorises objects by
their function, not just their physical form. Some scientists
believe that this incredible ability of the brain, called ad hoc
category construction, may be fundamental to the way brains
work.
Also, unlike a computer, your brain isn’t a bunch of parts in an
empty case. Your brain inhabits a body, a complex web of
systems that include over 600 muscles in motion, internal organs,
a heart that pumps 7,500 litres of blood per day, and dozens of
hormones and other chemicals, all of which must be coordinated,
continually, to digest food, excrete waste, provide energy and
fight illness.[…]
If we want a computer that thinks, feels, sees or acts like us, it
must regulate a body – or something like a body – with a complex
collection of systems that it must keep in balance to continue
operating, and with sensations to keep that regulation in check.
Today’s computers don’t work this way, but perhaps some
engineers can come up with something that’s enough like a body
to provide this necessary ingredient.
For now, ‘brain as computer’ remains just a metaphor.
Metaphors can be wonderful for explaining complex topics in
simple terms, but they fail when people treat the metaphor as an
explanation. Metaphors provide the illusion of knowledge.

STUDENT OPINION
How Does Social Media Affect Your Mental Health?
Facebook has delayed the development of an Instagram app for children amid questions about its harmful effects on young people’s mental health. Does social media have an impact on your well-being?
By Nicole Daniels Oct. 1, 2021
What is your relationship with social media like? Which platforms do you spend the most time on? Which do you stay away from? How often do you log on?
What do you notice about your mental health and wellbeing when spending time on social networks?
In “Facebook Delays Instagram App for Users 13 and Younger,” Adam Satariano and Ryan Mac write about the findings of an internal study conducted by Facebook and what they mean for the Instagram Kids app that the company was developing:
Facebook said on Monday that it had paused development of an Instagram Kids service that would be tailored for children 13 years old or younger, as the social network increasingly faces questions about the app’s effect on young people’s mental health.
The pullback preceded a congressional hearing this week about internal research conducted by Facebook, and reported in The Wall Street Journal, that showed the company knew of the harmful mental health effects that Instagram was having on teenage girls. The revelations have set off a public relations crisis for the Silicon Valley company and led to a fresh round of calls for new regulation.
Facebook said it still wanted to build an Instagram product intended for children that would have a more “age appropriate experience,” but was postponing the plans in the face of criticism.

The pandemic has exposed a contradiction in modern
society. We are more connected than ever – proven by the speed
and truly global spread of the virus; nevertheless, we are also
deeply divided.
Today’s connectedness, enforced by social distancing, has
pushed the role of technology in every aspect of our lives to a
new level. The tech industry is now in a challenging space:
trapped between the increasing politicization of technology, the
still superficial social debate around its impact and the slow
adaptation of appropriate legislation. Right now, the industry
needs to enable and push forward this ethical debate, recognizing
its responsibility in this historic moment.
The first step is to end the myth of tech neutrality. We
need to acknowledge that technology is caught between private
economic interests and its social value. Some tech business
models, for example, prioritize commodification of data or
advertising revenue over the social value of their services — the
sharing of knowledge, connecting people, etc.
The social impact of tech is deeper than we usually
perceive and most of the time invisible to us. Digital architecture
determines, increasingly, social interactions in our digital society.
An example of this is the invisible influence of search engine and
social media algorithms, the results of which shape our
understanding of the world.
In this moment of crisis, technology can play a
fundamental role in overcoming the economic recession and
reducing the systemic injustices that have been exposed.
Social exclusion - the next pandemic.

Answers the question according to the text below.
TEXT VI
Why are animals important to human beings?
There are a number of reasons why animals are important to human beings. The main
reason is that animals benefit us personally, socially and economically.
Since the time of our cavemen ancestors, there have been interactions between humans and
animals. Animals can be our friends, companions, protectors, benefactors and comforters.
Research studies indicate that people who own pets and have close bond with them have
higher self-esteem. They are also generally happier and healthier. There are many reported
cases in which pets protected their owners and family members. In the United States, a pet
dog alerted its owners that their babysitter was abusive. A couple who hired a babysitter to
take care of their baby noticed that their pet dog was aggressive to the babysitter. Upon
investigation, they discovered that their child was abused by the babysitter.
Animals provide many other benefits to humans. Insulin, a hormone in our body which
controls the amount of sugar absorbed by our blood, could not be artificially produced
previously. It had to be derived from cows and pigs. Nowadays, even though animal
insulin has largely been replaced by artificial human insulin, the former is still available on
prescription. Trained guide dogs are available to serve as loyal companions and ‘pairs of
eyes’ for the blind. In the past, hunters took along hunting dogs to track, sniff out and catch
wild game. When night fell, the canines were the hunters’ companions and protectors. In
rehabilitation centers, animals are used to help the sick recover. For instance, petting a
pony helps to lift a sick child’s spirit.
Throughout history, animals have helped humans. We use animals to work for us. In the
agricultural sector, oxen pull ploughs before seeds are planted in the soil. We use horses
for transportation purposes. They pull carriages and covered wagons for us. Even though
oxen and horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes respectively today, the
horses are still being used for riding and racing. They are also used to participate in
contests in order to win awards. Farmers depend on animals such as cattle, poultry, sheep,
goats, among others, for their horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes
respectively today, the horses are still being used for riding and racing. They sell the
animals’ meat, milk and eggs to earn money. In the fishing industry, although the use of
modern equipment and technology have replaced the use of animals to catch fish,
fishermen in some parts of the world still use animals like dolphins, otters and cormorants
for the purpose.
Another indirectly way in which animals help us is that they assist in the reproduction of a
variety of fruit and vegetable crops, which are an important part of our healthy diet.
Without animals to help disperse seeds and pollinate plants, many of them would have
become extinct.
In conclusion, animals are important to human beings because they benefit us socially,
personally as well as economically. Since they are of great benefit to us, we should treat
them well.
