All kidding aside I liked the interview. It was very informative. It is true how depended we have become of technology, Nowadays wherever you go usually the first question people have is what is wi fi code? God forbid there is none. And that is just minimal damage. I am not sure how would we survive solar flare.I totally agree with you. Technology has made us slaves. We will all suffer severely when it's taken away from us.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 09:57 Overall the technology is a blessing but also a curse. The future of it seems scary. I think I am scared the most of losing our humanity. Being so out of touch with real-life & people. And robots I am definitely scared of them
Wow. "Technology is not evil, but people who created and use." That makes sense.lucia_kizas wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 11:13 There will always be somebody who uses one or another invention for wrong purposes, but that doesn't mean that technology as such is a bad thing. Without it, we would have no modern hospitals, fewer crimes would be solved, etc. The technology as such is not evil, the people who create and use it might be, though.
Ooh, I see. I didn't realize the information could have been borrowed from the source you mentioned. I like your input.Letora wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 10:11 I think like anything, technology can be used for good or bad. I'd like to say people are smart enough not to use it for nefarious ways, but greed, ego, jealousy, etc. will never go away. I thought the interview was a lot of filler, and it contained information that could have easily been put in elsewhere. The information also seemed to come from wiki, which isn't the most reliable source.
I think I watched way too many doomsday movies and they all are scary to me. But more I read about technology it seems we are getting there.Nerea wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 23:33I totally agree with you.

True. But I hope the effects won't be catastrophic.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑29 Dec 2019, 06:19I think I watched way too many doomsday movies and they all are scary to me.

For me, the scariest thing is AI technology and the way they are replacing humans. Sure, there is a lot of good that they brought but still, the way things are going is scary. Hope for the best.

I felt like it was strange that Dr. Peter shared these views in the first place. Does it seem believable that a Ph.D. scientist would be so wary about modern technology?Nerea wrote: ↑26 Dec 2019, 05:32 Technology has been a blessing to us all. But based on the sentiments shared in the interview between Henry and Dr. Peter it sounds like we have been exposed to danger. Do you think Dr. Peter's ideas about the dangers of technology might be a reality today? Or what's your take about the interview?
I ain't sure, but he sounded convincing.nicole-adrianne wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 14:11I felt like it was strange that Dr. Peter shared these views in the first place.

Your review has given me a second thought. Maybe the author didn't do a thorough research to provide the readers with authentic facts regarding technology. Could be he rushed to publish the book before confirming the integrity of his writing.nicole-adrianne wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 14:11I felt like it was strange that Dr. Peter shared these views in the first place.
