Well in class today we had a whole 2 hours on debating various topics. One topic was "Should people be responsible for creating technology?"
I'd like to know what you guys think. Please choose yes or no, not inbetween. |

people are responsible for creating technology.
but that doesnt mean it is bad. technology is beautiful but now we are reaching a society were knowledge can be dangerous. think about it in a couple of centuries science can be perfect. there wouldnt be a need for anything like material items . everybody would know everything. society would be perfect. but we arent there. so who knows what the future can bring us with technology. it has its pros and cons. but for me i love technology its advancing us. |

The excellent mathematician/writer Vernor Vinge wrote an excellent paper about his theory on the "technological singularity" that pretty much discusses this issue. Vinge hypothesizes that within the next 50 years or so, technology will be so powerful that humans will be capable of creating machines more intelligent than humans; and at that point, humanity as a natural construct will cease to exist, replaced by superintelligent human-like machines. It's an interesting read. |
