Are we Heading towards the Terminator Age!!
I was watching "Transformers" and just browsing and surfing and playing games at the same time....and a thought occurred to me. What I am doing right now.....was viewed as being impossible in less than 20years back, however this is reality now and more or less taken for granted. Everywhere I see new technological inventions are happening at a break neck speed. New stuff, deemed as science fiction becoming reality. We now-a-days are giving up on even communicating with the phone, instead are using social networking sites to keep in touch and fixing up appointments and dates to simply chill out. What is going to happen in the coming years? We are almost getting completely dependent upon technology to make our lives easier and get work done faster, however this over dependency on technology and gadgets makes me wonder if James Cameroon's doomsday scenario is the future which is awaiting us!! The logical output to this way of living is one day we will have robots doing all our chores and other things, which is already a given thing in many developed nations. Although at a nascent state, the machines are doing our laundry, cleaning, cutting, cooking, driving e.t.c. What if the next step to human evolution is extinction in the hands of machines built to serve. What if instead of a glorious future filled with deep space travel and getting first contact with E.T. we are heading at light speed towards the Terminator Age!!
