Waving at the Machines
There are plenty of ways to look at the future, but anyone can see it’s definitely going to be full of advancing technology. Arguably, this could have the positive impact of making our day to day lives easier, or the negative effect of completely destroying our humanity, emotions, sensitivity, etcetera.
Inevitably, machines will progress to become more intelligent and aware of people. It’s not something many would worry about, people would probably enjoy it, seeing as the machines could help people keep up with difficult and, more than likely at some point, daily tasks. It does however become intimidating when we give enough knowledge or power to a machine that it could become dangerous. I mean, have you watched I,Robot? Eagle Eye? Terminator, for crying out loud?
Super computers exist already, what makes you think at some point in the future artificial intelligence won’t? Presumably, people are working on that already and it could take decades, but it will come into existence. If people were to have a more positive input in the cyberspace and technology and the world, and more positivity in general, we’d have just little technicalities to worry about, like a circuit shorting out. However, because we’re such a destructive species, we’ll have to worry about machines having technicalities like “Susan! It killed the dog again!” or “Oh, Volunteer Manpreet, we’ll get a surgeon on that immediately, you’re done for the day. Sorry, we’re just working out some bugs. Want a cookie?”
