Cyber Culture And Its Impact On Modern Society

Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld are the authors of the article “The Influencing Machines”. This article is about technology and is written through a comic-style form. Gladstone’s main idea on this article is that we should not fear technology. Gladstone’s and Neufeld’s comic-style article about technology is the best way to convey her argument because it gives visuals to express her argument, has a different form of arrangement of her details and thesis, and she gives examples of modern technology that should not scare us.

Technology is a vine creeping slowly, ready to engulf the whole of the Earth in years to come. It has been necessary to countless advances in the world, but many think that it could be a foreshadowing of something sinister. The belief in this underlying future has led to dichotomous interpretations of a technological domination. These often focus on robots with an artificial intelligence superior to human intelligence. They are able to defeat the human race, with their advanced, albeit artificial, thinking. It is not difficult to find someone or something ready to preach of the possibility of a robot apocalypse. While a total robot takeover is likely far off, robots are still altering the human world at a rapid rate.

He explains how automation has taken human jobs before and how it has created new jobs for us. And the same thing will happen in the future. The author also gives examples of how robots are becoming more and more available to the average human. He addresses people's concerns about robots by exploring the opportunities robots will bring and that their will still be jobs for humans that robots have not yet taken over. Kelly concludes his essay by reinforcing the idea that robots will have their place and that humans will “dream up new work that matters”(Kelly).

The rivalry between humans and machines has been present since the beginning og the the world. Trying to make the world easier for humans has been one of the life goals for society in order to crate a better world; however, those people don’t know that as society progresses the worse it is to introduce automated machines, Intelligent machines are a threat for society because it will increase unemployment and poverty.

The reason Nicholas Carr wrote this article is to inform people of the danger of Internet overuse through his use of ethos, logos, and pathos, along with other rhetorical devices. He starts with a scene from a classic movie that dealt with the prevalence of technology, 2001: A Space Odyssey. He shows that with the technological advances of today, the line between human and computer has starts to grey.

The increased development of artificial intelligence and the everyday use of technology can lead to a future full of robots, claims Eastlyn Koons in Robots are Better than Humans. Koons lives in the modern day where advancements are being made every day in the field of technology and artificial intelligence machines have started to replace the jobs of some people. People fear the uprising of robot rebellion and an inevitable Doomsday because of it. Through appeals to fear and pride, Koons asks the world to consider the use of technology in their lives and the role it may play in the future.

Pertaining to the article regarding artificial intelligence, there are numerous beneficial possibilities to aid in U.S. military defense and other necessary involvements. For instance, perfected facial recognition will allow the judgement of crimes to be made easier and less time-consuming. However, there are negative possibilities that tend to create concern in artificial intelligence; with this intention, artificial intelligence is now able to manipulate media such as audio or video to make decisions; if they are able to manipulate their decisions, these robots can threaten or cause damage to the United States’ military alliance. Furthermore, the possibility of these events may occur in the United States or any more developed countries’ military facility or even a battlefield. Although scientists and innovators are tampering with artificial intelligence; if overdeveloped, it is unknown what might occur to U.S. citizens. The journalist presents the significance of this event as life-threatening and a possible ending to human existence, this event is written to raise awareness or possibly turn away to another direction other than artificial intelligence.

Without a doubt, we live in a world where technology is taking over our existence. The advancements of these incredibly sophisticated machines have recreated a world where these machines carry the workload in all aspects. People from all over the world rely on these machines on a daily basis for the fact that they are efficient and innovative in every possible aspect. A vast percentage of the population questions whether these machines are destroying humanity, but in the long run, technology and its advancements are worth it.

The author acknowledges the possible skepticism he might receive with the article, and the possibility of being called a “luddite”. He admits that adjusting to new technology is unnerving, however, it is leading towards the advancement of society. As technology advances, artificial intelligence such as robots, cyborgs, Iron

Within the text of “The Robot Invasion”, by Charlie Gillis, Gillis discusses the advancement of technology and how it has impacted the lives of human-kind over the years. However, the view he takes on the topic is negative as he views it as impactful yet bad for society’s future. Gillis argues that, although many of the advancements could be impactful to today’s society in good ways the overall effect of a “robot invasion” as made out in Hollywood still leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.

The use of artificial technology puts mankind at risk for losing control over its own creation. As autonomous technology continues to progress, self improving software enables the technology to learn and adapt throughout its life cycle. Many accredited scientists are beginning to ask, “at what point will artificial intelligence become so adaptive that it begins to overpower human thought (Price).” The largest threat of autonomous technology in 1984 and reality is the point at which technology will begin to replicate itself and mankind will no longer be capable of controlling the rate at which artificial technology is reproduced. George Orwell vividly describes how technology will one day dominate the governing forces of society by slowly learning and adapting

Everyone has the potential to be affected by the anticipated changes which makes this article

It is an easily accepted truth that technology has irrevocably shaped humanity and what we, as humans, view our limitations to be. Each day, however, the inherent boundaries of what our limitations are as humans are seemingly pushed further and further into the realm of technology, causing humanity and technology to overlap and inviting the idea of more advanced technology and advanced humanity to become something that is possible and plausible. The idea of the AI, artificial intelligence, is often cited as the natural next step in the evolution of humanity and Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, examines and identifies the humanity even within the seemingly ‘age of technology’ that is presented to us, and in the world which we live today.

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate.
