With the recent achievements that are known as modern technology, as a digital communicator it gives me great joy to learn about the new things that have been made. I love the idea that new technology will always be coming out to entertain and help us with our everyday tasks. I can see with new AI technology things like new ways of communication, and new forms of art we could never create with the technology we have now. There are endless possibilities for what the future may bring, but hopefully sentient AI's like Ultron will not pop up anytime soon.
Even so, you have to appreciate how far modern technology has gotten in the past 50 years, we went from giant bricks for phones, to phones that are thinner than your finger. We don't even need to have a wire for internet connection or even charging a device as we now have wireless charging which I find pretty cool. We use these new technologies to communicate, and connect with one another, so by creating new technology, we just expand our horizon for human communication.
A repercussion that bothers me about new technology will always be the price. Right now i use a 7 year old laptop for everything I do on the computer, from creating digital artwork, to playing video games, to even blogging such as this. I don't have a job, so I don't have the money to purchase the new technology to come out. This is a problem for some people who cannot get a job or are just too lazy to do so, but this doesn't apply to all of the current population.
Technology does help with every thing and it has made life much easier, it's a wonderful thing to have, but scientists predicted that 50 years from now AI would be able to think like humans. Do you ever wonder what it would be like if an AI thought like a human? I do agree that technology is a wonderful thing and that it is helpful.
