A computer is just a tool. People can use them, misuse them, and misuse them. But after all, they are just another tool.
But I understand why you think so. They are ubiquitous and have changed our lives to some extent. I think that it is impossible at this level 35 years ago.
At that time, was there a suggestion that the computer would need the police to pull the driver to use the phone - basically speaking - I made it stupid. That's right. Talking while driving is distracting, but research tells us now, but speaking is not a problem. The problem is that small screen. So it is attractive that you have to pass the law solely to make sure people do not see the road
Do you remember the old words "knowledge is power"? The computer is certified with spades. Application has been proven to be infinite
We humans are always confronted with infinite problems. In the face of the infinite universe and the possibilities of life in other worlds, society suddenly seemed to convince us that the space program is just a lie and the earth is not round. Billions of figures are too deep to think, so the earth can not exceed thousands of years
In that case the infinite power of data processing is equally awful. It is difficult to believe that all these can be done through what we call thinking machines without beginning to form some practical thinking. And it may be possible
Still, I am still satisfied that the collection of my books does not use weapons to conquer the world.
The data is just data and the computer is just a tool. They are not oil resources for extinction. Dependence on oil is a big problem. Not only is it the cause of pollution, but today's hydraulic crushing threatens the environment. Even if you do not agree with the concept of global warming, this is dangerous.
I know that there are people who accuse the video game because of violence. But here is something about psychosis: no matter what kind of transfer they are involved, they are mentally ill. I can not blame them for participating in the game.
Of course, it is an economic disaster to disgrace the Great Depression if all computers and servers all over the world lose all data. But this is the reason we are offsite backup.
My brother-in-law opposed my opinion when we said that we were relying too heavily on computers in フ ェ イ ス ブ ッ ク 's comments. Tonight this afternoon, when a storm began, I turned off the modem and was reading a book that did not work. At least he read a book and gained knowledge. ! The way to make people smarter with computers is not certain unless we mean they can collect a lot of information using them. I agree that using the human brain the computer is designed and will continue to be upgraded and that the device is very useful. I am writing this on my computer, but if I lose power it will be very frustrating.
One of the images Asimov mentioned in the book is that humans may be too dependent on computers. In one of the stories, Asimov's experts wrote that people are educated in computer programs and aim to educate one person comfortably. According to experts, people will no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People rely on computers, not "try not to remember enough to match other people you know" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People choose not to study, they just want to educate through computer tapes. In the future world described by Asiov, it takes less time to put knowledge than to read books and memories in a little time to use a computer. Humans may begin to rely on computers to let them control themselves by having computers teach people. The computer begins to teach the human computer what to say to them without creative choice.
Computers are perfect workers, not humans, but their roles are fixed and dependent on programs, so they are always considered inferior to humans. Humans can switch from one task to another by themselves. Today, we are talking about Google's autopilot. I am excited about how computers detect fraud. Yes, computers are constantly evolving, but nature is not a driving force this time, but machine learning is the cause.
