Written 2: Oh the Humane-AI-ty! (15 marks)

Your Mission: Pick exactly one prompt and respond to it: 

Prompt 1: Wearable devices, such as the much maligned [word meaning "made fun of"] Humane AI (https://www.wired.com/review/humane-ai-pin/) tool from last year, integrate with Machine Learning to handle tasks such identifying objects in a room from video or informing users about directions to specific landmarks given audio. If you were to design such a device's OS, how would you  consider synchronization,  multithreading,  paging,  virtual memory, and  IO management in its design? Suggested Length 1-2 paragraphs.

Prompt 2: Agree/Disagree: Operating systems, through synchronization, multithreading, paging, virtual memory, and IO management, have improved society's ability to deal with British Columbia's flooding and other natural disasters.

Grading Criteria for Either Prompt: Writing quality, demonstrating knowledge of OS (e.g., it is clear from terminology used that you understand these topics), and a demonstrated nuance (or good insight) in comparing/contrasting the systems. Your answer should cover at least three of the mentioned topics. You are welcome to perform research on the topic but it isn't necessary.
