Computer Critics

I decided to finish my blogs with an invention that absolutly blows my mind, but not in a good way. 

A new standardized test in the U.K. will use software, not humans, to grade student essays.  Now computers will grade student's essays.  How does this even work?  How could this possibly be fair?  How do computers read the essays?  I am already not a fan of standardized tests like the SAT.  Seeing this new invention really scares me that people one day will not even need to use their brains. If we can train computers to read essays, what else can we train them to do?
