The Future of Lying

This is the Article I read for this week. It isn't on the Washington Post, but the Washington post led me to it. so ya...


My Comment:


I think that lying is generally bad, but I don't really think it can be avoided by people today. The Survey that they did showed that everybody lies at least one time a day. I think that having computers be able to detect lies can be used for good like in a police interrogation or something like that, but it should definitely not be used every day. I mean, what do you say if you wife asks you if the dress makes her look fat (and it does), or what if you lie about something at work. When you lie someone will eventually find out and people will learn their lesson. When your wife sees pictures of herself or when your boss discovers that something that you said was not true, you will be in trouble and have to deal with the consequences. I don't think that we need computers to do that. Lies are naturally revealed.

  1. That is a very interesting idea that lies can be detected through computers. It would be cool to keep track of that every day then you could lie less. I agree that lies will always eventually be found out. Great Blog!
