Topic: Technology development taking us to? - page 2. (Read 461 times)

Technologies have different effect on humans individually. today we may be too occupied by the advancement of cellular phone
it may not look good but it is only just a chapter  of our species advancement. it will pass and another chapter will come. in the end it
will lead us to new advancements whether it is for the good or bad. we can only hope that the result will be the best it can be.

But we are doing the same thing at dinner party or while going to the restaurants with our family but still we are on phone and forget to talk or hear what is happening around us,even I am doing this.

During my elementary days, I've learned the meaning of technology on my subject Science and Technology and in simple terms, "it is to make our lives easier". And it's happening today because of the innovation and technology that was brought to us, we seem to work with computers, gadgets, smart phones, machineries but still it needs manpower.

Like when you're in the bus or trains and someone behind, infront and beside you doesn't care standing reading and touching his/her phones while the headsets are on? I don't have problem with those people, I'm minding my own business just like them.

Technology makes our life easier, and that makes the world faster, we cannot stop the development as there's still a lot of ideas that has not transform in to reality yet. Bitcoin is the best technology that I know thus far, well, I consider it as technology as it ease the transaction and decentralized makes things transparent. If we want to enjoy, we need to adopt with the changes as no such thing in this world that is permanent, expect change, that's a famous line.

An amazing point from Rogan about humans never being content. Even when we innovate, that innovation was never enough and then we keep going and keep going and keep going. Think about something as simple as the vacuum cleaner.

I would assume that at first it wasn't too advanced and it didn't have too much suction power and probably only had one button. If you look at a vacuum cleaner now it has many buttons for many different cleanups, it is portable, and so on and so forth. You could even get a Roomba to vacuum for you.

It just shows how far we've come, and how far we're going to go with tech.  At this point the growth is exponential.

As a fan of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, I've heard this topic discussed by various experts from all sorts of different perspectives and fields.

While I won't get into each prediction, there is one in particular that Joe Rogan brings up himself that I find extremely interesting.
Of coarse, this is on a much larger, long term scale, but is entirely possible.

Essentially, technology can be viewed as an extension of human evolution. If you think about it, we as humans have this innate, unexplainable drive or urge to push technology forward. We are never content, and nobody has the answer as to why were are so driven to make more advanced AI, faster computers with better processing power, human-like robots, more efficient genetic testing... etc.

It could very well be that what will emerge from this rapid technological growth is an entire new species, one that does not require humans, and eventually surpass/replace humans. After all... evolution is all about efficiency, and a species will adapt to whatever it takes in order to spread and grow. AI could be this next step in human evolution far down the road, as AI does not require food, does not get sick, does not have do deal with obstacles such as emotions, like sadness or curiosity, greediness or a capacity for evil.

To go even further, it could even be said that we were placed her by AI, programmed to advance and keep advancing until the AI is replicated and can spread.

It depends on how you use technology. Some people use it to evolve as individual, to grow as person, in favour of their learnership, while others use for gossip, hostility, bully, envy. The lazy people are already lazy with or without technology, it will just increase their laziness a bit.
Technology is totally positive for the world and for the humanity. It helps the world and people last longer, with more happiness and better solutions for all kinds of problems: in health, education, security, environment, infrastructure, entertainment and more.

''We'' are heading to mars/moon. I say ''we'' because most people remain just as stupid as before, less ignorant by force but still pretty stupid. You would think almost no one would believe in gods in 2019 but nope, most people still do. Thankfully a bunch of people are smart enough to carry the rest of us. This has always been the case, only a few geniuses are needed.

Lazy life is not a valid point. Just see all these years that technological development has come, we are more busy than before lol.
New technological advances brings us an easier life and it let us discover and savor needs that we couldn't do before. Maybe we are using our mobiles more than before, but could you ever think that you can work from your mobile when you are hundreds of km away from your office without any problem?

You are late,its already doing.

For example while you are scrolling facebook feed you will get an advertisement related to a product which you might thinking of buying it today or few days back,how they do?They are taking all the information about us while we are allowing our apps to take control on our devices.

The fact that you can play Angry Birds on your cellphone doesn't show us the technology development. You know why? Because there were no groundbreaking scientifical breakthroughs already for decades. Large corporations are providing better technologies but they don't make the same effect on the economy as for example had the invention of the steam engine.
Some bullshit like Snapchat right now worth millions (and sometimes this is really interesting things) but all this stuff have less effect on our lives than the invention of a calculator had before.
Tech development is not taking us anywhere now.

We are getting more debts than what we are earning and that is the reason why we can step up economically and this happens mainly when a person want him to look like a rich person when is not actually so he is spending lot of money for the unnecessary thing which later turns into debts which are supposed to be savings.

It all depends on the user there are good and bad things on everything that we do or have.
Technology is making our life easy and also making the people lazy because we rely too much on it.
It all depends on us on how are we going to use it,
Don't blame the technology because people are being lazy blame them because they choose to be lazy.

We get more technologically advanced yet the average person has to work much longer than ever just to survive.  We are going backwards in a lot of ways.

Sometimes I wonder where are heading in the future with all these developments on every field,for the better and happier life or just lazy life.Few years back mobiles were used for reaching the people from long distance but today it is everything and almost we are not caring anyone who is even sit next to us while we are using the mobiles.Just talk about it guys,if you have any ideas about where it leads us to.
