Social Relationships
Quiz #3
• Please write a multiple choice or short-answer
question that relates to any of the topics of this
class, and write an answer to your own question.
You should spend about half the time writing the
question, and half the time writing the answer.
• Note: Selected questions may be included on the
final exam.
Key Idea
• Humans may form social relationships
through computational systems. Can
humans also form social relationships
*with* computational systems? Can
computational systems form social
relationships with each other?
