Entry #3 Technology is Changing our Future

We all live out daily life's knowing that one day we will die, we believe that our children have children of there own and then eventually die. We are able to live like this because we know that this is the natural course of life. However we don't stop to think that humans can go extinct, after all we are living organisms, we are susceptible to weather, disease, radiation, starvation, and extinction.

We won't be hunted down or lose our habitat, since we with our technology are top predator, and with our cities we have made our own unique habitats. But this technology that let us live out daily lives the way we do could very well be what ends our time here on earth.

Technology is defined as "A capability given by the practical application of knowledge." Today's technology involves computers, electricity, phones, the internet, weapons, vehicles, bio-engineering, and so on.

Technology is there to help make some off our life much easier and also it is there to help entertain. some people use technology to help them live normal lives after accidents, or due to health complications.

Technology is also being used in war, created for the purpose of annihilation, intimidation and death. Criminals use technology to steal identities, money, and information. 

The following video Professor Michio Kaku, One of my favorite Physicists and Role Models explains how today's technology can negatively and positively affect future generations and even current populations of people in the world.

Now I hope, as a futurist myself, that we can survive and become a Type 1 Civilization. 

Technology is growing to unite into one society. Technology is also growing to a point where it can destroy us. The use of nuclear bombs, Bio-weapons, run away green house effects are all things that can wipe people off the face of the earth. I don't know about you but I am more terrified by humans causing self inflicted disaster rather than nature causing a disaster.  Here Is a link about the darkest points of technology if you have time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTi4v3HveqE Again the video is by Michio Kaku.
