While technological advances can help individuals and businesses operate with ease, there are also many implications that could go awry. For example, if we become accustomed to using these advances in our daily lives, what happens when the technology fails? Will there be a default setting to different devices that allow us to turn off the technology and allow us to take charge?
For example, the smart home described at the end of the chapter talks about how everything and everyone is interconnected. What if the temperature automated shower malfunctions and the person showering gets a bad burn?
What if the nephew who is visiting loses his phone or gets it stolen? Access to the phones also grants access to the family's home and all their valuables within.
I think there are many implications to technology, but it is only a matter of trial and error for the problems to be solved. I am all for a technological future, as long as it benefits that whole and it leaves the world better than we entered it.
What is one technology that you hope exists in the future? Do you believe we could survive without technology?
