So my week going without google or Facebook products went horrible I failed the first day Just due to the fact that I use it every day well mainly google and Instagram. The reason for me breaking so quickly is because whenever I use a different search engine its always inaccurate to what im specifically looking for with google I can type three words or even just two and it would already know what im looking for which makes it easier and saves me a lot of time, especially when im doing homework. Also whenever I go to a place and I have no clue to get there I use google maps. Furthermore, I may have broken early but I have grown so used to living with technology making everything easy for me I wouldn’t be anything if technology would be around it, I know it may be crazy but you can go up to any millennial or 90’s baby and ask them if they know how to navigate using a real paper map I bet most wouldn’t and they would go directly to there GPS.
In one of the readings, this part I read caught my eye it Stated “Eventually, a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage, the machines will be an effective control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide.” (Why the future doesn’t need us) This had such a big impact on me just because of how right the person who wrote this was because already machines are taking over factories and even everyday jobs like a cashier job. For example, If Amazon was to stop running at this very moment a lot of people would be stressed just due to the fact that whatever they needed amazon could supply and could have anything delivered to there home without having to go to the store by taking this away this will cause a massive panic even on the holidays if that were to happen.
