I might get flamed to a crisp for this, but is technology necessarily a good thing? Like, just think: Two hundred years ago, the pioneers built log cabins with the bare minimum of tools, and cut down the trees themselves. Today, no one in America would ever do that, even if they had to. They probably couldn't. And I'mAmerican, and that's the way I see it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
i think it is if there was no technology then everything would be much harder to do and more people would die because of the issues making medicen like they do now and if there was no technology then i would always stay in touch with my girlfriend
Technology is good but from 2010, people started to use technology so much and I am starting to hate technology from now on, they make robots and some fantasy stuff. I start to hate this because it's true that Robots will take over the world and Humans will not exist anymore.

Sounds like you've watched to many movies. It's far more likely that one day the line between where technology ends and humans begin will be indistinguishable.

Are we thinking technology = electronics? Technology is basically how advanced the stuff we have is/are... Electronics is the stuff we're using right now. Our shoes that we have are an example of technology. Laptops can be an example of both technology (how advanced they are) and electronics (uses a battery). We've always had technology, but not always electronics. Technology: good. Electronics: not so much.
Also, if humans are doomed, it's by their own acts and not by any robots who would have no reason to go on a rampage killing humans..
Two things: 1. Technically, by their own acts they would have made things like robots. If they were programed to kill us all, it was our fault.
2. Robots don't suddenly think to go 'on a rampage killing humans'. They probably were programed to kill us all. Thus, some mad scientist must be behind it. Or, I guess, a 'mad programmer'.
1. Technically, by their own acts they would have made things like robots. If they were programed to kill us all, it was our fault.
Technically, yes. I was speaking of more direct acts, not around three corners. But, technically you're right.
2. Robots don't suddenly think to go 'on a rampage killing humans'.
Yeah, that's more or less what I said.
They probably were programed to kill us all.
If robots are programmed to kill, for example for use by the military, then they are programmed to kill those who are coded as enemies. They differentiate, and I guess only a bug could cause them to fail that differentiation and attack just anyone. But, robot are not eternally self-sustained, and if they turn against everyone, they won't be able to look out for new ressources like in Matrix. ..Just a bit of loud thinking..

How do you figure this? There is a lot of good don't with this form of technology. It allows for near instantaneous communication from great distances, it allows for many medical advancements, just to name a couple.
Had to think about how much sense it makes to discuss that matter.. my conclusion: it makes a lot of sense, since it's actual and concerns us all. But we can't except to get an answer, because it's not as easy as black and white. I think the best example to show that technology, as anything else, isn't just good or bad, is plastic. Plastic is everywhere and greatly facilitates many sectors, from research to everyday life. We wouldn't have come that far without it. Yet, as a non-degradable, toxic substance, it accumulates in nature as nano-particles and poisons the environment, and, through the food chain or other products, ourselves. It's a blessing that is slowly turning into a curse.

While electronics has many advantages, like everything else, it has it's faults. For example, a huge energy waster. While it might be insanely cheap and very convenient, it saps power really really easily.

I agree. Sort of. Technology is good. Your example making technology looking bad, isn't necessarily technology. That is just a result of technology. At some point in time, an alternative to plastic will come along that is much better than actual plastic, like getting oil from algae instead of getting oil from underground. Eventually the underground oil will run out, and leave us oilless. However, algae can grow and continue to grow pretty much anywhere, and just so long as you can get oil from algae, you will still have oil. And since oil prices are skyrocketing at the moment (8.5% increase since yesterday), oil from algae will be much more efficient. Running out of oil was not technology's fault, just a faulty use of it.
While it might be insanely cheap and very convenient, it saps power really really easily.
Okay, wow... I just realized I contradicted myself. Electronics, like technology, is very good, we just don't use it properly. I was just trying to say, at this point it's result is not looking to good.

Yes, and with it we can also develop better ways of collecting and storing energy as well.
