Is Technology becoming too advanced for Us?


By: Brian Marshall

When dealing with technology we can look at it in two ways, positive and negative. Nowadays technology is consuming our younger generation by force, and now that technology is only getting better with time. When will it become too advanced for us?

Applied Digital Solution came up with microchips that purposes were to allow easier access for a person’s medical record. The microchip was to be placed under the person’s skin either in the hand or the arm via syringe. The microchip would contain information about the person medical history and can be updated on a regular basis and wouldn’t cause any harm to the patient when proceeding with the process.

This Technology could be very useful to the medical field, but with skepticism and the point of view by Orwell in his well-played novel 1984 brought up the depiction of the Government having eyes on the citizens at all times. It holds a lot of good things when it comes to the medical field, but people are having a hard time taking this concept in. Many people are nervous to see what else they can do with microchips. Sooner or later we won’t need anything with us because they would be scanning us as a whole.

  1. I believe that in some aspects of human life, technology may become too advanced in the future. We already rely on technology to give us direction on a day to day basis (GPS) as well food preparation and many other things. We have to find solutions to make sure it does not overtake our thought process and ultimately make us lazy. I think our main concern should be how can we effectively coexist, in terms of lifestyle and jobs, with technology for the future.

  2. I do believe that technology can be too advanced. Many of us already are extremely dependent on technology. If we continue going this route then there will not be many jobs because everything will be strictly operated by computers and other forms of technology. Technology is a great thing and I love but we have become too dependent on it.
