Recommended: Advancement of technology affecting modern society

People have evolved from generation to generation. The human race has started from making tools to creating a technology base world. People have come from sticks and stones to machine guns, horses to cars, candles to electric lights, and fans to air conditioners. Human kind is a progressing race to developing the new invention. Public has advanced slowly in time but are coming into a complete circle. In the future, computers shall evolve quicker than the human race leading to complete extinction. It shall be able to so by the inventors, pressing for artificial intelligence to have every kind of information within itself making it better than natural intelligence. This service shall become superhumanly intelligent leading to annihilation to the human race then later result to termination within the computer world.

Computers were the new invention that humanity had created in the 1990’s. Computers sold over 100 million to domestic homes in that decade (Smith 2). Inventors kept thinking of ways to improve them and the need for smaller more accessible computers to take on an everyday basis to anywhere was perfect (Smith 2). I have used a computer, since I was five years old and never been without one. I think they are extremely useful for writing papers or looking up information for homework. The public uses computers everyday at work to down time at home. Since, the inventors invented computers creators have done nothing but to make them smarter. It will lead to artificial intelligence surpassing natural intelligence. The world will get closer to singularity quickly more and more each day.

Singularity is a word that has different definitions by many scholars all concluding that technology will become a race and leaving behind the ...

... humans will get left while AI become to dominate in the world. The computers will more quickly evolve than humans did. Since, with the quicker process they will become self-destruct buttons waiting for the destruction by solar energy. The energy for computers would be solar linking it to destroy the sun and the world coming to an end altogether. The aspect of AI working together with humans is a big “if”, but it could happen. I think that, unless humans now take into account the backlash on what may happen in the future could cause a huge mistake. People need to take precautions to what may happen to the race if we continue making smarter computers than ourselves. Scientists have many scenarios for the future with Artificial intelligence. Many do not have the same idea of what is going to happen because there are many routes that Artificial intelligence can go.

    Have you ever had the thought that technology is becoming so advanced that someday we might not be able to think for ourselves? There is no questioning the fact that we live in a society that is raging for the newest technology trends. We live in a society that craves technology so much that whenever a new piece of technology comes out, people go crazy to get their hands on it. The stories that will be analyzed are The Time Machine by H.G Wells and The Veldt by Ray Bradbury. These stories offer great insight into technologies’ advancements over time that will ultimately lead to the downfall of human beings. These two stories use a different interpretation of what will happen when technology advances, but when summed up a common theme appears. In the story, The Time

    The idea of passing love letters to your crush is now non-existent; in the 21st century technology has taken over and it is a norm to see a 4th grader carrying an iPhone. Each and everyday humans are evolving with the help of rapid technology that has taken over our society. In Ray Kurzweil’s article “The Six Epochs” and “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholar Carr it speaks about how the human race is changing due to all the technology that is used on a daily basis. Kurzweil’s stance is more positive, in which he examines the advantages that the Singularity will bring us in the future, while Carr focuses more on how technology is negatively affecting people now. Both Carr and Kurzweil would agree that the expansion of technology is leading

  • The Doomsday Machine, by John Markoff

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    John Markoff's "The Doomsday Machine" is an intriguing view on how our technology may exponentially improve into the future, but the essay fails to support the thesis statement that our technology will eventually destroy the human race. His dire predictions for our future are based on theories as well as conclusions that are themselves based on theories. These predictions do not account for how other simultaneous technological advancements and the desire for profit will affect our world. It ignores the power of human imagination, ingenuity, feelings, and personal motivation. There is also a complete disregard for God's plan.

    Frozen bodies, brains uploaded to computers, and the singularity - the point when robots surpass human intelligence. According to Ray Kurzweil and other spectators, this is what lies in the inevitable future. A century ago, people considered eternal life to be unachievable and a concept only related to the ancient gods. Futurists and scientists have recently started to believe that immortality is within our reach, which has captivated human interest. People find the concept promising and continue to invest in the process, without realizing the potential dangers that come with it. The technological revolution has spurned both societal ignorance and greed, and it will continue to degrade human values leaving future generations craving more than before.

    A well supported outlook towards the future of technology would be “cautiously optimistic.” Nuclear fission is one example of this. While is did further our understanding of atomic theory and resulted in a solution to many energy woes, it also caused the tragedies of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Chernobyl. Looking towards the 21st century, artificial intelligence is shaping up to be another highly controversial piece of technology that we are only beginning to understand. As George Santayana once said, “those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” We can only hope that the world has learned an important lesson from these tragedies: never underestimate the power of

  • Essay On History Of Singularity

    3173 Words  | 7 Pages

    “The Singularity is a future period, [in] which technological change will be so rapid and its impact so profound that every aspect of human life will be irreversibly transformed.” –Ray Kurzweil. The concept of singularity was borrowed from physics, where it is used to describe the fact that all known laws of physics break down at a black hole (a space-time singularity), and no information can escape its event horizon. The technological singularity represents an intelligence event horizon where various future technologies such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and robotics will synergize to create ultra-intelligent “post-human” beings and AI that far surpass the intelligence of normal humans. At this point a positive feedback loop will occur between post-humans and AI; designing successively and increasingly intelligent minds/AI, which will result in change becoming so rapid that it becomes impossible to predict anything beyond this point, from our current vantage point.

  • Artificial Intelligence

    1038 Words  | 3 Pages

    To begin, the main issue of development of Artificial Intelligence is the economic factors. Firstly, one of the main negative effects of AI on economy is unemployment. According to the suggesting of Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne of Oxford University during next 20 years 47 per cent of all USA jobs under the threat and will be replaced with intelligence machines (Vincent). If jobs will be automated, people will lose their workplaces and it is becomes one of the harmful problems not only for economy, but also for society. Because, if people will not have a workplace, they will not be able to provide their needs. Furthermore, development of AI can be a reason of increasing inequality of wages. For instance, the salaries of computer workers approximately earn 10 to 15 percent more than others. (Frey and Osborne). It is also one of the economic problems because it can lead to discontent of workers who hav...

  • Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence

    975 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pop culture has explored this idea and gave fictional tales of what can happen if artificial intelligence “goes bad”. While it may not be a credible source, it still has room for interpretation. Allowing robotics what is arguably the most influential trait today, a mind, is a frightening thought. Researching the human mind is still a field of study today and is not fully understood. How can scientists and researchers behind artificial intelligence accurately come up with how the human mind interacts with itself and its surroundings? Yes, they can start with the ability to learn, such as a path of an infant absorbing knowledge through its adolescence, but what if the expansion of information becomes exponential? The artificial intelligence may gain full control and depth of their mind and comprehend the world differently as humans do. This brings the artificial intelligence to a cognitive and spiritual level beyond that of the human mind. If this were to happen humans cannot be able to understand the artificial intelligence. They have programmed it to learn itself, its mind, and how to operate. What level is that beyond a human mind, a god? At one point researchers that developed the artificial intelligence had a grasp and outlook for their technology’s lifespan. What they thought the artificial intelligence may derive from its programming, has transformed into something completely dissimilar. The artificial

    Artificial intelligence is intelligent behavior by machines, rather than the natural intelligence of humans and other animals. The sub-levels of artificial intelligence that researchers have found are; Reasoning (problem solving), cognitive simulation, deep recurrent neutral networks, control theory, finance, and automotive. Robots are going to be able to have the problem solving skills greater than any human being. Artificial intelligence today is known as weak AI, and is only able to perform things like facial recognition or Internet searches. (Max Tegmark) The long-term goal of researchers is to be able to outperform humans at specific tasks, from playing chess to any cognitive task given. There are going to be so many advancements in the future; everybody already using technology all the time on their own mobile devices. The world has come to where people cannot live without their phones or technology being with them at all times. Technology is necessary but thought of artificial intelligence is a different

    From classroom activities to space flight and everything in between, computers are a vital part of daily life. Everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology like the computers. Computers let us dissect any sort of data. Computers makes us reflect, hence we develop. Because of computers and the Internet, we can talk with individuals from diverse nations, and even see them via webcam. Computers have their weaknesses like they have a negative effect on individuals' health. One of the risky parts of any machine is the screen. Computers make individuals dependent. Computers are hampering individuals' improvement in regular life. We don't read printed books any longer, since we can listen and read on the web. We invest more of a chance talking online than talking face to face. Overuse of machines has numerous negative impacts, for example, creating physical/behavioral sicknesses, harming family connections and diminishing scholarly study.
