Chapter Ten: Ideas about the future


To me chapter ten had many great ideas and Bill Joy wrote an essay called “From Why the future Doesn’t need us” which he wrote about how technology is so advanced that soon robots will be taking over us. Machines will be making decision for us and society will be so dependent on machines that it will be really hard for them to shut them down. Not only that, but humans won’t be needed anymore to work. Bill Joy believes that it will get to the point where machines will slowly extinct the human race. Another idea that was presented in this chapter was from the author Alvin Toffler who wrote “From the future shock” and in this essay he talks about how the human race is so advanced in technology that soon enough humans will be able to manipulate genes that can create a new version of humans. Even to the point to not need any organ transplant because the organs will be man made for humans to be able to live longer.
