Human Info and Technology Assignment … Pretty straight forward and easy

Write a one- to two-page paper (at least 500 words) that explores what distinguishes humans from animals and machines. There are no right or wrong conclusions—the aim of the paper is simply to provoke, and perhaps to clarify, thought. Your approach to the question may be philosophical, political, theological, biological, historical, cultural, or a combination. You may wish to discuss the sources for your ideas—things you learned in school, your religious beliefs, your family upbringing, your own research, etc.—but you are not required to do so.
