Robots and computers eventually over powering humans has been an idea depicted in numerous scientific films for centuries. However, as technology continues to advance, this idea is becoming no longer so far fetched. Many articles and newspapers have recently been released about one day in the not so distant future, this becoming a reality. As technology advances, more and more jobs are being eliminated. If this situation continues to grow, many problems will arise. With technology replacing jobs, unemployment rates will sky rocket. People will be out of jobs and poverty can strike. This can cause an increase in crime rates. This can also cause people to rebel against the government and cause for many societal issues. It can cause complete societal chaos. If half of Americans were unemployed, it would be up to the government to protect it’s people, but there would not be much they can do. They would need to create new positions, or supplement a form of income. This issue has the potential to change the way we live as human beings. Technology is also causing human interaction and social skills to diminishing. The youth of each generation’s social skills are becoming weaker every generation. By online interaction, many people lack social skills as it has been replaced by computers. This situation needs to be realized, in order to be stopped before it is too late. There is no stopping or controlling advancing technology, but I feel that we as people need to learn to begin to rely less on technology as a whole.
