Lightning Rod

Literary Devices: I think the author called the story Lighting Rod because in the story there was a lighting storm and the computer still worked even tho it was lighting.

What do you think now? Yes I do think that computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence because technology is smarter than most humans already.

Meta cognition: Making inferences and asking questions affected the response because it helped understated the story better.
