Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Communication
Technology in the world of AI is advancing rapidly. People nowadays have become exceedingly dependent on their phones and laptops, and have become distracted from the real world. They avoid spending time with their friends and family, or replace the excitement of seeing someone you love with sending them a text. Some prefer to update their twitter and instagram feed rather than spend time outside. So many people even lose sleep due to them staying up texting and tweeting, and for what reason?
If this is a current problem, and technology continues to develop at this ridiculous pace, soon, technology is going to begin replacing human activities. People have already lessened their communication with one another or replaced it digital communication. If this continues, how often will people plan to go outside with their friends and family and enjoy a nice day? I am already concerned, and feel as if half the time I spend with people, they go on their phones and zone out.
Many of these new advances are extremely unnecessary. For instance, google glasses for one, are basically smartphones you can wear. I feel they are ultimately just a waste of time and money, considering that they have the exact same purpose as a phone. I have always anticipated the day I can finally learn to drive, but I'd never thought that by the time I do, people will have created self-driving vehicles. This is yet another unnecessary use of technology that is going to result in people hastily becoming more and more lazy.
