The correct answer is A) bottom-up.
The kind of processing that is exemplified by the following scenario is bottom-up processing.
This is the scenario: Esther’s mother offers her a new dish she’s been working on―a raisin-jalapeno quiche. Esther’s body responds first: Esther eyes the content of the skillet, and smells the mix of raisins, jalapenos, and eggs. Her stomach churns and she looks away. Feeling disgusted and disappointment, she says “I’m not hungry.”
When we are talking about bottom-up processing, we are referring to one of the two processes implicated in perception. The other one is Top-down. Bottom-up means processing sensory information as it is coming into the mind. If you see something very quickly and disappears, your eyes send the image to your brain and it starts to build up the necessary information so you can have a picture of what you saw.
An idiot would tell you that robots would take over the world. I honestly believe we as humans have the ability to make sure we don't go that far.
People, especially most Americans, have a borderline fetish for leisure. If it makes things easy, buy it, buy it, buy it now. Likely, more advancements will be made to make sure people won't have to leave their home via conventional ways to go to work. Basically, we get even more lazy than we already are, all things considered. Not to mention new innovations for war.
Some good can come from this, however. We require an alternative to fossil fuels, so green energy will be a must in the future. Advancements in medicine will thrive, after everyone discovers that there really are cures for almost anything (there's just no money for the doctors in curing the disease, only treating it). A cleaner Earth, a better planet, a better ecosystem.
