Week 4
It is pretty interesting to think about how closely tied us humans are to machines and how quickly this has increased over the last half century. The readings definitely opened my eyes to this. Looking over a couple other people's posts I do disagree w ith the idea that this interaction and dependence will start moving in the other direction. Don't get me wrong I think the idea of human like robots is pretty far fetched, but I do expect humans to keep creating more intelligent computers. I think that humans are smart enough to continue creating machines that will simply always be machines. Inventing programs to reflect true human emotion is impossible. Overall, I am quite happy with the dependence on machines I think it has just made my life easier and I can spend time doing things I like while machines do the monotonous tasks humans use to be responsible for.
Do you see an increase or decrease of human dependence on machines?
What machine do you take most for granted?
How do you think human interaction with machines will change over the next 20 years?

Yes, I agree with you that technology assists us in reducing the mundane tasks we do on a day to day basis. Although, I think that people become far too dependent on these machines with unecessary tasks. I feel that machines replace the devlopment of creativity and expression. I find human interaction with a machine to be impossible now and in the future. I recieve no connection, no reciprication and no feeling while interacting with a machine.
I do appreciate the developments of new technology and programs but there is no way there can be any comparison of interaction between humans and the even most advanced machine.
