Technology Has Exceeded Our Humanity

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”, these are the quotes of the famous German physicist Albert Einstein in relation to how the world has become overly reliant on technology. As a result, we have taken nature for granted while also ignoring the adverse effects of technology. The making of steam engine, the usage of fossil fuel and the creation of chlorofluorocarbon are all technologies which has benefited us greatly and are continuing to do so, but like everything on this earth there are always negatives to counter the positives This is the balance that we must find between nature and humans.

Over the years technology has become more advanced and it has become a big part of our everyday life. Technology has played some big roles in education, medicine, agriculture, communication,safety, and the economy.While technology has become a big part of our life it has caused some bad side effects in jobs, communication, education, agriculture, and safety.

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.

Technological advancements have effected humans in many different ways from texting to the creation of monsters. Even though some technological advancements may at first seem to positively impact society, once they progress to interfering with the greater good of human beings the progress becomes negative.

Science Fiction and Dystopian literature reveals to us that the advancement of technology and moving towards an almost perfect society can harm mankind just like tampering with mother nature.

New technology is needed to progress in the society, however it can be harmful if it is not developed under the proper circumstances. Firstly, in Michael Crichton’s novel Jurassic Park the amount of technological advances is outstanding, but they are not better for the society. Bringing the dinosaurs back from extinction may have been a ground-breaking advance for science, but the engineers of the park were unaware of how to handle them as they had lived millions of years ago, when the world was a completely different place. Even the levels of oxygen in the air and the plants that flourished were different. This shows that the new technology is not always better; the people of the society are often not ready to deal with extremely drastic changes

Throughout the course of history, humans have advanced at an exponential rate leading up to this day. While these advances are often able to help the world and the people around us, it also has the potential to cause conflict and expose the worst characteristics of mankind. The thought that “Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.” (R. Buckminster Fuller) can seem a bit foolish, but is subtly perpetrating our everyday lives as we succumb to so many unintentional, yet terrible features of just being human. Our addiction and love of the newest and fastest pieces of combined human knowledge is something anyone in this day and age can understand, yet is something that few try to resist. Only an astonishingly

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

The rapid rise of technology has dominated the narrative of humanity for centuries, generally improving life in almost all metrics. At all times throughout this history, technology has been labeled from demon to savior, creator and destroyer; the term has consistently been a lightning rod of ambivalence. As the speed of technological growth continues to increase, some fear that our society might undergo tumultuous, perhaps unsustainable, amount of displacement.

The rapid advancement and heavy reliance on modern technologies today is harmful to the human race because it undermines the concept of human individualism, denies the necessary qualities for deep introspection, and amplify the consequences of human error.

Techno-optimist or techno-pessimist? That is the question. Technology throughout time has no doubt changed our way of life. Travelling to destinations quicker, curing new diseases, or figuring out how to cease a wide famine are examples of how technology has made advances over time. The solutions that scientists create spark a tool that others cannot live without. But what if these technologies bring out negative effects rather than their desired purpose? Sometimes, innovators create new inventions that bring unintended consequences. It could range from less communication face to face, side effects from new medicines, or pollute the earth’s atmosphere.

Technology has made great advances on a global scale, especially within the last half century. Works of fiction and informational texts have addressed the numerous uses of modern innovation. These technological advances have the potential to make one’s personal life better, but could be detrimental to the world as a whole.

In today’s modern world, technology reigns. Millions of people all over the globe utilize technology for a multitude of purposes every day, whether it be at work, school, or even from the leisure of their home. If you were to ask most people in America if they could live without technology even for a day, the answer would most likely be no. Contrary to opinions that are popular with my fellow millennials, I think that society is too dependent on technology. I believe society relies on technology too much because we use the internet for simple tasks that we should be capable of doing ourselves, our dependence has resulted in laziness, and technology is rapidly replacing people in the workplace, thus resulting in less jobs.

According to Steve Ballmer, I quote “The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn 't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.” End of quote. Although research has shown that technology is the enemy of human progress; over the years, technology has created faster communication, shortcuts in working, improved medical advances, and aided in relaxation.

Technology has indeed made a tremendous impact to society; health problems caused by modern technology have evolved into an important problem, especially
