WEEK 6 & 7
Books: “Einstein’s Wastebasket” & “The Avatar Project”
Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
Artificial intelligence should not be a problem in the future because as of now technology has already developed strongly and it has not caused any issues, but it has provided support for us humans who can literally not walk out without our phone in our hands. “Human computer symbiosis, that is computers and humans working in partnership, may help develop a whole new era as humans and computers “get smarter together.” (Lane, 30) I agree with this statement because AI is definitely going to help us human beings prosper instead of ruining our customs. In the book of Einstein’s Wastebasket it shares that surgery will be something old because artificial components (nanobots and nanoprobes) can be replaced in the human body to allow healing internally. Also, instead of studying, knowledge can be directly imported into the hippocampus (a region of the brain). Overall, it will not be a problem in the future, but it will help our future because years ago people did not imagine the WWW and suddenly we have dropped our physical encyclopedias and now within a click away we have the ability to acquire any information without skimming pages, but having computers obtain the specific information we want to see.
How has technology impacted your life?
Technology has impacted my life in many ways because simply from remembering when I used Dial-up (AOL) to connect to the internet and now I am able to use Wi-Fi anywhere I am at without the cables is astonishing. That is just level one of technology because Smart-phones, VR-gear, robotic surgery, etc. has quickly developed and is continually developing and seems to have infinite advances. Through the use of a mobile phone many things can be used instead of using a single mp3 player for music, a camera for photos, a PSP for games etc. a cell phone can give me access to do just about anything. I am even able to deposit a check from my phone or even scan a document. With an app called Team Viewer I am also able to control my laptop from a far distance with just the use of Wi-Fi. For an example, if my mom does not know how to use a computer and I was out of town and she urgently needed a document that is saved in my computer, from a far distance (thousands of miles away) I can just pull out my phone I start controlling my laptop and print out the document for her. It is ridiculously insane, but extremely AMAZING how the use of technology has been able to support our daily lives without complications.
