In theTimes Magazine articles, The War of Delicious; Alzheimer's from a New Angle; The United States of Insdvency; Why You Shouldn't be Allowed to Drive; and Encounters with the Archgenius, all discuss how humanity is changing. In analyzing these articles it becomes quite clear that humanity is changing drastically and quickly because we are becoming blind to the world around us. We are not sure on what is in our food or how it is made, the technology we have today is becoming more and more powerful and is taking over our real life relationships with other people, the medicine that we have been discovering is curing more diseases than we could have even imagined …show more content…

"Such machines might be made to look like humans, and even to react like humans" (Encounters with the Archgenius). The human race always afraid of the zombie apocalypse, but should we not be more concerned about something that can actually happen. If these robots get the chance to take over, they will take our jobs, leaving us without money which will cause an epidemic of other disasters. This will eventually end the human race which is a huge change in our world. The smart cars on the other hand can be a problem, yet a blessing.
