technopoly/ part 2

In the second part of Technopoly I started to learn the machines and technology start to take over in many forms of ife for humans, such asrelationships, jobs and so on.  For example, the lie detector test became so popular that it eliminates complexity and doubt among people.  But, it also eliminates the x factor of situations which could prove to be dangerous.  This x factor could be your gut reaction eliminated or lie detectors could eliminate people from jobs who just got nervous under questioning and told the truth but was interpreted as a lie.  Also, the abilities that many people have could be eliminated by machines.  Such as, doctors who practice medicine would rely on machines and the traditional art of examining someone and establishing their illness would be wrong.  Also, many people who have abilites such as putting a car together, building a bridge, or building a house would be lost because machines would do all the work, which will eliminate the human component.  Since, the economy has been in a recession many companies have had to eliminate jobs from people and turned to machines and even robots to do some type of work.  This, unfortunately has taken jobs away from people, which left them in a tough position.  When the economy turns around these people will not be hired back because machines have taken aver their jobs.  Many people do think that machines and technology is a great thing, which in many cases it is, but in many cases there are many people out there who are suffering and having a hard time, due to the advancement of technology.  We need to embrace technology, but we also need to be aware of the consequences in which it brings.
