write a blog post addressing this issue. Do you think that Kurzweil is right? What about Joy? Both? Neither? Are you hopeful about the world you'll live in for the next 30 years, or pessimistic? You might find it helpful to think about past technological revolutions (such as the steam engine, the television, and the automobile) that were supposed to either save or destroy humanity. Is this the same? Different?
the way that technonlogy is looking right now, i cant help but be hopeful. i mean, its scary in a way , because we dont know what can come from the advances, but what ever comes from it we will reap bennifits and suffer consequences, just like with all of the other advances that have beeen made thus far. every year things just get bigger and better, some people dont like the change, but others, lik emyself, love it, because they make our everyday actions perform smoother and with less hassle. the advances also mean better health care, but it also can mean people becoming dependent on certain costly treatments, because we all know when you treat one illness, there are side effects. in the next 30 years, everything we dreamed of is probly going to be availiable, flying cars, robots that clean the house for you, more efficent surgery, war without people dying.. everything from the movies. it sounds scary, but thats why its called change.
