Technological Advances of The Past 80 Years

There are various ways to define the word propaganda. Advertising as an institution is "to intentionally spread such information, rumors, etc." (dictionary.com). Due to the extensive association with Joseph Goebbel's advertising age under Adolf Hitler, the universal negative meaning is preserved and today's publicity is everywhere. Although the name has changed, today 's advertisement develops mainly in our daily life. Over the years, propaganda has evolved to fit the current era, and the classic definition no longer applies.

Today, the technology is growing at an exponential rate. These advances are surprising if you look back on the amazing technical power you have not seen in the past 5 years and anticipate technological progress over the next five years. Believe it or not, they proved to be a big underestimation. As the speed of technological progress itself is rapidly accelerating, we linearly (in the whole history - this way it goes well) we can no longer linearize technological progress There is a tendency to think.

In the past 100 years, the world has seen the greatest technological progress known to human history. The life on Earth is very different from the situation in 1916. Similarly, the technological progress from 1816 to 1916 was the largest in the world. Technological progress in all centuries, 10 years and 1 year is even greater than ever. I have heard people say that all good ideas were adopted. Facebook locked social networks. Google operates the Internet, Netflix also has entertainment features. After high-tech bubble occurred in early 2000, people expressed similar concerns. In fact, however, by comparing scales, little good ideas are not adopted. In 2013, humans have generated 90% of the Earth's data over the past two years. Only 39% of the world's people regularly access the internet. Only 35% have smartphones. If these figures approach 100%, what will the world look like? As a product, which company is a wonderful product?

Right now I am doing my utmost to achieve technological progress. If I asked myself about my position on technological progress several years ago, I would strongly say "yes" to everything. However, since recent months, I have begun to understand seriously why this development, growth and progress harm more than good. Personally, I do not have any problem if Facebook, Cambridge Analytica and all other companies use my information in exchange for the service I am using. I am with a Thai wife of my simple villager who lives in the forest of Koh Samui, so I think this is a fair deal.
