One thing that has excelled greatly in the last decade is our technology. Have you ever thought about all the things we have today that we as a species never would have even thought about 20+ years ago? We have cars that can practically drive themselves and use electricity instead of gas. We have video games that can detect your every move and hear every sound. We have phones that can think for themselves, answering anything that we want to know, and some that even use your fingerprint as a password.
Now, don’t get me wrong, all this technology is great. The fact that people have the brain power to think up these kind of things is fantastic. But what happens when brain power isn’t needed anymore? Pretty soon, machines will think for themselves, talk for themselves, act for themselves. They’ll be able to do anything they want, with or without the control of human beings.
I know I sound like a cliche person who just has a phobia of robots, machines, and the future but that’s really not it. It’s just that with computers being as powerful as they are, the point of human life will cease to exist. There will be no jobs, no education, no freedom. Applebee ‘s came out a few weeks ago, stating that they were going to start having tablets at each table, where you can look at the menu, order, and pay without having to wait for a waiter/waitress. Now while that is a great and a really cool idea, it is also a way to easily eliminate jobs.
What are your thoughts on technology? Do you think it’s going to improve our world or make it worse?
