Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
This seems to be the topic everyone is talking about. In the global positioning intelligence video, it states that anyone with a smartphone, Iphone, or otherwise will not leave anywhere without it. With these devices, we are becoming psychic. Some people worry that artificial intelligence could end mankind. To me, I think a good example of artificial intelligence is the movie Wall-E. Everyone ends up depending on electronics that it takes up their lives and it is as if no one is alive, but in another world that is not healthy for them. I do not agree with machines exceeding our intelligence. We do not need it. Having all these new phones is good enough because it provides us easy access for everything. As an athlete, I can see how easy it is to get out of shape by drifting away into technology by just staying on your phones all day.
How has technology impacted your life?
Technology has impacted my life greatly the last 20 years. I remember barely having phones and they were huge. All you could do was make a call. A couple of years later, texting came along and it was extremely popular as it still is today. Today, having these smartphones, it has its positives, but it also has its negatives. Smartphones are really helpful as they have everything you need on one device that you can take everywhere with you. I would much rather have an Iphone than a flip phone I had when I was in the sixth grade. For the negatives, the phones take away the time we spend with our friends and family. Now they even have apple watches to keep up with everything that is technically already on the smartphones, but since it is the new thing, everybody has to have it. The new devices suddenly become more important. I personally do not think these devices need to be taken away from us, but I do think people who take advantage of the new technology need reality checks.
