Do we control technology or does it control us? Will it control us?It amazes me is how many companies are involved with providing
software for the future. There are so many things coming around the turnpike
that we don't even know how to keep up with the technology we have let alone
what will come.
If the question is will Technology control us? My answer is, yes. It can control us if we let it. We can
let it use our brains to become mush. Write down to operating a GPS. Whatever
happened to using your brain and a map for figuring out where you are?
Many people these days just turn on the GPS and let it guide them to
where they want to go. This is a disturbing fact as a lot of people complain
the GPS is takeing them places they didn't need to go to get them were they
wanted to go. For example it will take you 10 minutes out of your way just to
go to 10 minutes down the road. With a round-trip of 20 minutes, that would
normally take 10 minutes.
Then there is the adaptability of the smart phones to the wristband.
So tell me when are we ever become detached from our digital world, if it's
connected to us? Just like the smart glasses we will stay connected as
long as were wearing them. That's disturbing to me considering the fact that
most people don't even pay attention to someone in the same room with them if
they have a smart phone or device they can access the Internet with. Somehow
detaching from the person sitting right next to you is much easier than
detaching from that person that is on the other end of the digital device.
This has changed our society, as we know it. Teens and college
students these days have issues with connecting with people. Having face-to-face eye contact for example
or even just having a typical conversation. Of course there is always gift of
memory loss the smart phones have given us. How many of us can remember
birthdays or appointments we've put on our calendars on our devices? Yes
technology has made big leaps and bounds over the past couple years. But it
frightens me when there's a microchip installed in someone's brain for any sort
of reason. I don't agree with the fact that we should be putting microchips
into human beings. Personally I believe it is along the lines of a book from
the Bible called Revelations where the Antichrist put some mark on people.
It’s hard for me to understand why anyone would want to give all
their information on the little tiny microchip that could be read or accessed
or hacked into by just about anyone who knows anything about computers on
microchips. Let's face it that's a huge community of people. As the saying goes
on most smart phones LOL! But really who will be the last one LOLING? Not
Me!
