@231terminator . Not sure. Both are extremely dangerous (the hackers because they can hack military technology as well).
To take a different look into it, do you think that technology has a detrimental effect on art? Let me elaborate:
Art is a hard term to define. Most definitions of art are either way too literal, or intentionally vague. I prefer to describe it as a creative expression of one's emotions or thoughts. Of course there are many other possible definitions but, I believe this is the one that comes closest.
You see there are major classifications of art. Beethoven, the famous deaf composer has composed musical pieces that have lasted almost 300 years. His music can and is internationally acknowledged as art and is some of the greatest artwork of all time. The same can be said about Salvador Dali, or Piccasso.
However, can it be said about a movie? In your opinion, does a movie exist (or will ever exist) that can be considered such a great masterpiece from an artistic point of view?
Photography is also considered an art form. But is it? Sure it requires a lot of skill and talent to take an amazing picture, but can that picture be considered art?
In my opinion, the answer to both of the questions above is a negative one. Movies, which were made available through technological advancements, are an art form, but still, far weaker at producing the emotions a painting or a musical piece can produce.
Photography is not even an art form because it is not compatible with the definition above. Sure photographs can bring out powerful emotions, but, they do not bear the photographer's feelings. They depict something, not someone's thought, or emotion.
Of course, as defining art is a controversial matter of much discussion, I may be wrong, both in my definition of the term, and in my thesis that photography is not an art form. However, I still think that art forms aided by technology are far weaker than other, more pure art forms.
Even the people's desire for art has suffered with the advent of technology. How many modern artists can you name? And even if you can name plenty, are they real artists? Do they come close to older names in their respective fields of art?
What are your thoughts on the matter?
