Week 10

Posted by mohamed layachi on

I feel like I have a somewhat unhealthy relationship to technology because I tend to use it to waste my time when I am browsing leisurely through instagram or youtube. Technology can be used for so much good and I do have moments in the day where I just think to myself, why are you wasting your time when you could be doing something way more productive. I feel like Instagram is a big waste of a lot of my time whereas I see youtube as being more informational and productive if I am going to procrastinate atleast im watching videos on topics that interest me and that I’d like to learn more about. I spend hours at a time watching car videos on the latest and greatest in new technological advancements for electric cars specifically because huge strides are being made in the field. I honestly think that AI is the next big thing for tech, but not in the way horror films depict it! I think that AI is going to be a great way for us to become more productive, its going to become like our own personal assistant and its already begun. Alexa could you please send Jessie an email apologizing for submitting my assignment late and tell her that I will send it as soon as I get home since I am driving. Is it morally unethical to have AI send that email? Is it not from the heart if its sent from a machine? Well i did tell it what exactly to say, and I was in a situation where personally writing the message could have caused me more harm than benefit. The future of AI is exciting just don’t bring up the privacy issues because I’m not ready to talk about that.

Technologies is a double-edged sword

There is no doubt that it is quite harmful for people to accept the using of technologies in a way. They let us lose ourselves sometimes and unsafe for the world security because of technologies existing. Even it is a kind of dangerous thing if people cannot control it correctly. Despite it, people can still get a lot of convenience and benefits from technologies. From a very large extent, technologies promote the standard of people’s lives.

It is true that there is a big problem for people to be controlled by technologies. A quite common phenomenon exists at present, that is, a great number of people cannot do anything or even cannot live without technologies. They totally become a kind of slaves of technology. For example, the popularity of using phones has become much more for people recently, especially for young people. Phones are the representations of modern world. A large quantity of people are attracted by the function of phones. They start to be focus on or even addicted to it. Thus, they gradually lose themselves,

Technology takes a big part in my life which I accept that is valid for all individuals born in our generation. Beside being fixated on our socials and giving views to the Youtube community throughout the day, technology is an essential piece of my college experience. With regards to learning in a classroom, I have evolved from the paper and pen and exclusively utilize my laptop. With regards to finding different educational articles for a paper I never find the need to go to a library and physically pick a book however rather use something like the CUNY database. This has turned out to be so valuable for me as I feel technology causes you to have an all the more clear understanding while studying. I don’t need to stress over not being able to read what i wrote or flipping through several pages searching for one single word. The meme I made is subtitled “When the WiFi quits working trying to transferring to writing board.” I made this image to likewise demonstrate the defectiveness there is with technology, talking contrary to what I have said. In spite of the fact that technology may appear to be immaculate and clearly can do considerably more than the human capacity, there are times when it can dismantle as well.

I think I have a unique relationship with technology. I believe Older people are too out of touch with technology while the younger the person the more attached to technology they are. I believe people around my age have the best balance. We grew up while most of the advance were being made but we also had a lot of our childhood where certain things were frowned upon. Some people gfot phones in junior high school others received it high school. Being that we were always at the age where we weren’t considered children, but we also weren’t adults that we could make our own decisions our parents tended to take the cautious route with technology, so we have a good balance of being functional without technology. Many young children today are always growing up with so much technology around them, who knows what the future holds with them. I do think that a balance should be kept because you shouldn’t fall behind like many of the older people have. I believe you should always be able to use the latest tech but shouldn’t need it. I try my best to balance my life, I do use technology a lot and I do use it in times I don’t need it just for the convenience, however I’m very functional without it and I don’t miss it when I don’t have it. A lot of technology is based of horror or thriller genres now, but I believe the future leads to technology be used as propaganda. It’s so easy to voice an opinion while using technology and you can reach endless amounts of people as well. People will use technology to get their points across, trying to convince everyone through media to agree with them.

Technology plays a huge role in my life which I assume is true for all millennials. Aside from being obsessed with Instagram and Snapchat and watching Youtube videos all day, technology is a vital part of my educational experience. When it comes to learning in a classroom, I have ditched the paper and pen and solely use my laptop. When it comes to finding various educational articles for a paper I never go to a library and physically choose a book but instead use something like the CUNY database. This has become so useful for me as I feel technology helps you to have a more clear understanding while studying. I do not have to worry about not being able to read what I wrote or flipping through hundreds of pages looking for one word. The meme I created is captioned “When the WiFi stops working in the middle of uploading to blackboard.” I made this meme to also show the faultiness there is with technology, speaking in opposition to what I  have said. Although technology may seem perfect and obviously can do much more than the human ability, there are times when it can mess up too.

After seeing the film, I didn’t feel very well. Technology is an integral part of our everyday lives. But in “Her,” I found that technology isn’t all good for us. In this more and more rapid progress of technology, human beings have been able to put a lot of things to technology to complete, will make us lazy. Although technology has made our life more convenient, it has completely changed our lives. For example, usually we can go out to chat and play, but now the mobile phone can solve everything. The entertainment aspect can already use the computer to solve.

The next step in technology may be robots. In the movie, it makes me feel terrible to show how technology can do what humans can do. If we invent this kind of robot in the future, make sure it’s controllable. If they have emotions and can do everything we humans can and cannot do. Will it take our place as masters of the world? Of course, this kind of thing is two sides, it can coexist peacefully, the benefits will be great. However, this kind of uncertainty will still make me feel afraid if it is possible. And the meme for this is I can’t believe that if a robot is living in our daily and it looks like a human.

In my opinion, the use of technology has both positive and negative consequences.

For example, the use of computers and the internet has made my life much easier. It is very easy to communicate with other people using a computer. In addition, classes can be taken on the internet right from the comfort of my own home. I also use the internet to make purchases.

There are also some negative effects of using technology. Using computers and the internet to communicate takes away from communicating with people face to face. I wonder what this is doing to communication skills. In addition, people sometimes develop addictions to things like online gambling because of its convenience.

This meme shows how one day there will be a place where AI robots will coexist with humans and they will have relationships with humans, and this can cause many problems socially. People might not be willing to accept you for having an AI has a partner or a spouse. Other problems that can arise is that AI robots are just machines and they don’t lack the same emotions that a person does, so this brings up the notion if their emotions are real or just made up from what they have seen around them and experienced. This can be seen in the movie “Her” were the AI was able to learn about emotions and love through the interactions with humans. At the end we find out that the AI wasn’t really in love because you can’t be in love with more than one person at a time and expect the other person to be okay with that. AI are one day going to take over the world and cause the downfall for humans. Today, technology is advancing at an exponential rate and it isn’t stopping any time soon. We already have ways to program AI’s to be able to recognize voice patterns and copy them exactly. This is one of the many ways that technology has advanced from a decade ago were going onto the internet required you to have a phone line and only one person at a time can be on the line, either calling or using the internet.

After watching the video, for me it is very interesting to see how technology are able to do what human can do. Feel the emotion and how they falling in love with human being. In the sense, it feel like it kind of replace some people. Maybe in some way technology seem to be out of control because it is doing everything human can and can’t do, which can frighten people. There can be many different view such as some think tech should be in control of human, some think tech is our friend who help our development of society, some think tech will replace and take over human,some think tech help make things easier … There can be many different view on it, we can’t judge right now for what is wrong or not. Things can turn out in both good and bad way. Both might be turn but the good for someone might not seem as good for other.
