Transcript:

The ability of computers to do things we used to do is growing astronomically. And we're rushing to hand over to computers tasks, activities – both in our work lives and in our personal lives – and what you begin to see is what's often called a de-skilling effect. The person becoming reliant on computers; because they are not exercising their own talents, those talents begin to fade. And we begin to lose, as a result, the unique things that human beings can do that computers can't: feel empathy, take a broad perspective, interpret all the stuff that - can't be turned into data.

Option 4: "cant be turned into data"

Explanation: This option is correct as it directly reflects the text's statement about the unique human abilities that cannot be converted into data. The phrase 'turned into data' accurately captures the essence of the argument that computers cannot replicate certain human traits.

Option 1: "cant turn on the data"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because it uses the phrase 'turn on,' which does not logically fit the context of the text. The text discusses how certain human abilities cannot be converted into data, not how they can be activated or turned on.

Option 2: "cant be added to data"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it suggests that human abilities can be added to data, which misrepresents the text's meaning. The text emphasizes that certain human qualities cannot be quantified or incorporated into data, rather than suggesting they can be added.

Option 3: "cant be tuned into it"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because 'tuned into it' implies adjusting or aligning with data, which does not align with the text's focus on the inability to convert human qualities into data. The text specifically states that these qualities cannot be transformed into data.
