I received more electronic gadgets for Christmas, and was wondering where technology is going, and how its going to impact us all.
I remember not too long ago, when I didn't need a mobile phone, but I now find that I couldn't cope without one, and not always through choice.
I turn my central heating on before I get home, I even turned it on for my wife when I was in Germany, (she had let her phone run down), but we're now looking at a coming-of-age of the AI, driver-less cars, and talk again of space expeditions to the moon and Mars. Everyone's got a website and an app, and we are all very dependent on this explosion of technology. Is this personal access to just about everything a good thing, or will it affect society in an adverse way?
My own thoughts are that were getting closer to the bio-computer, whereby we use/control computers, or machinery, through an implant which integrates with our brain directly, (Virtual Reality is getting there slowly but surely). Of course, in a science fiction sort of way, once we have these, who knows if the person with an implant is not themselves capable of being controlled, to some degree?
What changes, big and small, can you see, or would like to see, coming along, and how will they affect us ? (lets see how long it takes to start an argument
)
