New Media Assingment # 1 Due 9th

Out of all the articles you posted  feel i got the most out of the Frankstein one by Allison McConnell one and why the future doesn't need us. I think that technology is a very good thing but as most of the authors pointed out it can have negative consequences. But not only that once new technology comes out, there is no way back, and i do firmly believe that. I think we do and do not have a choice to embrace technology, because yes we have the choice to use it or not, but in the same realm society can impose these technologies so we have to use them. So like i said there is no way of going back, once we embark on the next advanced technology that's it for many old technologies. The consequences of today's technologies are unknowable, however i think a few things are being lost, like personal communication with others, and interaction. Yes many things are becoming easier, we don't necessarily have to buy things at stores, we don't need to talk directly to our friends but i think that the further we advance the less direct/personal interaction we will have and i don't know if that's a good thing. One of my personal biggest worries are, (not that i would consider it a worry) but i know as we advance further with technology,  a lot of jobs will be created, but i feel more jobs will be lost.  What are people going to be doing in the future, from what i can predict, they're not going to be doing much. Yes we will have many things to keep us entertained and such but what will most people be doing? i don't know We are most certainly playing "God"? as much as i hate the term, because it's so useless because there are so many different definitions. Are we going down a road that we like though, i mean anyone who thinks advancements in technology is a bad road is a liar. Because think about it, in war you want the most high tech weapons, i don't think many people wanna fight with their bare hands. Everyone uses technology, EVERYONE! the moral of the story is we have to control the technology, not let it control us.
