Predicting the Future Technology

Does it seem to you like the most popular social/media posts are related to predicting the impact of technology on humans. How robots will do everything better than humans. What jobs will humans no longer have the "privilege" of doing compared to the jobs of the future. Or how colleges are not properly educating the future generations to perform the jobs of the future.

One interesting observation is the amount of dollars and work being performed not to have robots do work currently performed by humans, but to do that work "like" humans. If you’re going to start out doing it better than humans, then why would you want to do it "like" humans. The obvious reason is adoption.

What technology existing companies must do besides deliver the technology is to wait for social media outlets to "change" human thinking about life and therefore make adoption easier and sustainable. These changes in human thinking and behavior must be taken in small increments over time. Basically, de-evolving the human into thinking

Typing is Talking

Repetition is Limiting

Work is valued based solely on whether a robot cannot do it

Artificial is equal to Natural

The created is equal or greater than the creator

Imitation is Intelligence

Decision Making based on Algorithms is Equal to Experience

Everything can be Programmed. Your programmed

Artificial Life exist

I’m not smart enough to know what the future holds but I can look at the direction and make some very strong predictions.

Humans will become isolated and crowded at the same time

Humans using computers will limit human freedom including movement selling security

Remote Communications will make it impossible to tell who is speaking

Human interaction skills will be lost

Work places will be anywhere and nowhere at the same time

High end life decisions will become difficult or impossible for humans to make

Life will have less value

Simple tasks which make life possible will be lost to humans

Computers which sustain life will be the first casualty in any war.
