Who Owns the Future Chapter 2
Aristotle believed that technology could not do as humans do and the evolution of it would free humans. I imagine that back then it would be a repulsive idea for a machine to be capable of the same skills as humans, but now it is simply a piece of what is to come. We already ask Seri what something is or how to get to a certain location so it wouldn't be a surprise for robots to be the next step, especially since everyone's generation is becoming the easy and now generation. The only issue is how much easier it would make our lives because I honestly fear that we will get so caught up in things coming easy, that we won't notice that we're slowly being pushed out of our own economy starting with employment. The unemployment rate is already high, so imagine if we do decide to rely on machines to handle the "little jobs" that finances someone's life. I'm not oppose to the idea of continuing to evolve with technology, I just caution us to be careful to not get so caught in taking the easy way out to the point where machines are doing what we do to make a paycheck.

I completely agree with people becoming blind to the fact that technology and robots are going to take over jobs and other aspects of life without any fight from us
ReplyDeleteI agree with just about everything you say in this blog. Technology is growing so fast and it is very possible that robots could do just about anything in the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you for the most part. I think that people are becoming to dependent on making sure that technology does all the work for them. The small jobs are going to become obsolete and if these individuals can't adjust to being able to take on another job (such as programming the robots taking their jobs) then we are going to have a bad time.
