i enjoy building computers.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware\u2013software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microcontrollers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture. Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. Computer engineers are also suited for robotics research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and monitor electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors. In many institutions, computer engineering students are allowed to choose areas of in-depth study in their junior and senior year, because the full breadth of knowledge used in the design and application of computers is beyond the scope of an undergraduate degree.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I like computer engineering, specifically for robotics research. how about you?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I don't know too much about it, but I find it interesting. What can you tell me about robotics?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh! Well it involves several fields of electrical engineering and computer science to develop software."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That software development has some potentially ethical issues doesn't it? Will robots replace lots of good paying jobs if the software improves much more?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think so! The robots that are taking on human form are kind of intimidating."}, {"role": "user", "content": "There are lots of science fiction films in which robots take over the world! I hope that doesn't happen any time soon."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes there are! I think of Wall-E haha, with the trash compactor robot."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, I loved that movie, though in that one the robot seems more \"human\" than the humans themselves, don't you think?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah! Wall-E was pretty smart. Can't believe it came out in 2008! "}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, it looks like our current world isn't too far away from that one, with everyone looking at their phones all the time."}]
