The Future?

and at what point is too much when it comes to technology running our lives?

You know you have trust issues when you are suspicious of a goddang bed. :| Running our lives? Technological growth is almost always good.

We depend on technological products to the point, that most of us wouldn't be able to live without it. Why do we want to set our decentants up for failure. They don't know the basic things to survive. With current technology, you can't even go somewhere without activating your GPS so you are always being tracked. Don't get me started on social media etc... Big brother is always watching you!

Also, I decide when I wake up.. not my bed.

Until they decide to kill us in our sleep!

Nah, I'm kidding. My problem with technology is that it's too addicting for me. It makes my life seem so much shorter because I'm too preoccupied with useless things and my day ends up feeling much shittier like today. If it's the case with majority of people then maybe it isn't just my fault though.

EDIT: That doesn't apply to all of it though, technology that helps in fields like medicine is awesome to me.

Going through life based on the decisions of other humans is bad enough, but technology? Nah i'm good

 

[Conspirator.]

Well because at least I did it myself. I'd rather experience between what is good and bad and get a general idea of life instead of never know and live as a sheep to technology.

Basically this.

Moderate use of technology is enough for me and what will happen, if you lose every technical stuff after getting used to it ?

how much the technology develops, there will always be weaknesses that will be used against it and with this bed, it won't be far telling me, what to do in my bed and what not to lol

 

[BlacLord™]

The bed looks good and the guy is pretty hot.

I'm sold.

I think this is the least of the problems that technological progress will start creating in the near future and certainly in the more distant future.

The greatest problem is that technological progress at this point, combined with the growth of artificial intelligence, is making it possible to automate more and more human tasks.

For example, these days trading in financial markets is becoming an automated thing: investment banks now do a lot of their trading in the markets through an automated process called "algorithmic trading". And the algorithms doing all of that complex strategic trading are actually written by a very small team of computer-science nerds ("quants"), who end up getting paid a huge amount of money.

In the future this problem of intelligent automation cutting away at the human labour market will become a serious one because machines will pretty much always take up a greater number of tasks than the number of people required to create, programme and maintain them.

And the only solution, frankly a worst case scenario but I see few other alternatives, that comes to my mind, is governments making the right to reproduce a licensed right, and no, there is nothing unprecedented about such a system - think of the Chinese one-child policy, except more elaborate.

Ultimately, governments will inevitably have to face the need of regulating the size of their populations. The Malthusian alternative will probably be nature and human nature doing it for us through civil unrest and all that it will entail, created by technologically generated, increasing unemployment.

So even if we don't end up creating Skynet and maybe the terminator, technological progress will at some point actually become a problem.

The future=laziness

Technology just makes things more easier, if everything becomes that way people will pay even less attention to detail and our society will become babies who need the support of technology to make it through the day.

 

[YowYan]

No thanks. Too much monitoring. I already feel uncomfy with the built-in camera in laptops and smartphone.

 

[Brian Griffin]

Michael Bay's Transformer 5 will have a new Transformer that can transform in to a bed :devil:

believe it

I'm watching a video on those computers and they seem pretty amazing, too bad they aren't practical enough.

Quantum computers are completely practical. Hell, Quantum entanglement commonly seen in Sci-Fi (like a hologram type copy of you) is possible. We just need to master Quantum mechanics and theorem to that point, and we're not that far off.

Not at their current $

More technology please. I want more!
