Zone1 The fight against technology and the fight for technology

[SkyscrapersUS]

Many people fight for technology to disappear, and many people fight for technology to continue to develop.

Neither one nor the other should be PUBLICLY ADVERTISED, because it creates negative difficulties for people in life (fear, psychosis).

Technology is a thing that changes by itself with population changes, not as most people think with time. That is, most people think that technology will be more developed in 2100 compared to 2024. And the truth is that technology will be more developed if the population continues to increase.

Some people live better and more beautifully without electricity, they are heated by fireplaces using wood, they enjoy more in nature, etc.. And for others, it is better when the technology is more developed, it suits them better. Therefore it is not good publicly advertise and fight for the development of technology, and it is not good to advertise and fight against technology.

The fight for and against technology should be a private matter for each individual

ridiculous. the ethical implications of technology are a matter of public policy.

naturally it is natural to be uneasy about machines deciding if i am wortky of life or not, but, why program asimov'e laws or other constraints on their logical decisions.

I read a story once (in Reader's Digest I think) about an Alaskan native who, after installing an oil burning heater in his home, went back to heating with wood. He missed going into the forest, cutting and splitting the wood, and the smell of it burning. He also didn't like the leisure the oil burner created. He needed to be busy.

People should probably be concerned with real problems.

People should probably be concerned with real problems.

What about AI? People are concerned about how computers are used to be morally destructive. How people can be bullied into committing suicide. How new weapons can kill and so on. On the other hand, people welcome how technology has made things better like having a toilet inside the home and all you have to do is flush. Or, pop something into a microwave and dinner is ready. Or, having Zoom to keep students learning while during Covid19 shutdowns. There are obvious concerns and praises for new technology.

Physical and mental health is the number one problem we face. Technology isn't very good at addressing this.
