Q.1-5. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
We human beings are going to be in a frantic footrace with smart machines to stay relevant. What we’re going to have to do well are those things which are uniquely human, such as our ability to create, innovate and relate at the highest emotional levels with other humans. We can’t stay relevant by trying to outthink Watson.
Watson can process, remember and recall much more information than us. What we’ve got to do is to play to our strengths. The problem is that we are not naturally good at high-level thinking, whether it’s critical, innovative or creative. And because of our cultural and evolutionary biology, we’re not good at connecting and relating with others.
This is a new story about how humans can thrive in the smart machine age. It begins with the concept of New Smart from school on, we were trained to get high grades —high grades meant you were smart. How did you get high grades? You don’t make mistakes. Smart is basically, “I knew more things than you. I got more right answers. I remembered more things.”
Smart was a quantity concept. Well, that’s a losing game. When knowledge has a short shelf life and smart machines can remember and process more than us, New Smart says, “Define yourself as the quality of your thinking, listening, relating and collaborating. Those are the key behaviours that are necessary to think critically, innovatively and to collaborate with other people.”
