“May Technology Be With You”  by Caio C.

Although technology helps, it also hurts.  Technology hurting us and making our lives more difficult behind our backs is a problem that is becoming worse and worse. As a consequence, we can destroy our future. With the new technology we are working with, we can lose control and create problems we don’t imagine. Transform nightmares into reality. Little problems can become huge ones. Atomic Bombs are incredibly dangerous and humanity is crossing all limits with this. We are changing the world and walking to the wrong side.  Lack of exercising is happening and according to Better Health Channel it is bringing injuries and the excess of technological things is causing that. This site also shows a list of examples of bad technological effects: “Posture-related injuries from computer use, computer-related overuse injuries of the hand or arm and eye strain from computer use.”

 We are using science incredible discoveries and information for atomic bombs that kill and destroy people. Uranium and other incredibly small pieces of materials are the key for a good nuclear bomb. They together cause little explosions inside the atomic weapon that after cause the big explosion, according to the Atomic Heritage Foundation.  It is impressive how an Atomic Bomb's destruction comes from little work inside the bomb that involves the ama lest things of the whole world. The scientists were working a lot and at the end we humans used that information to kill people. “The immense destructive power of atomic weapons derives from a sudden release of energy produced by splitting the nuclei of the fissile elements making up the bombs’ core”, as stated by the Atomic Heritage Foundation. This crazy business was already used in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs and the USA and Russia carry lots of atomic bombs that can make countries evaporate. It is also incredible that one of the best armies of the world, Russia, has in possession weapons 3 thousand times more destructive than the one launched in Hiroshima, according to Globo.com. The Union of Concerned Scientists says that XRays and chemical mixtures with energy are extremely important to the construction of an atomic bomb. They involve radioactive materials in the middle of the destructive weapon that cause big radiations. The same science and discoveries used for medicine and positive actions that save lives and prevent really disappointing events were and are being used to devastate places and kill thousands of people. Even though we have everything in our hands, we are messing up with our future! Atomic weapons are creating problems, in addition, basic daily technology uses are developing issues we can not imagine.

Some of our day uses technology are hurting us and creating more difficulties for us humans. Forbes is talking about the paths technology is taking. There are some good ways such as: privacy and easier access to information and there are the bad paths, some of them are: videogames addictions and eye problems caused by excess time looking at a computer or a TV. Technology in our opinion is walking the right path, we are the ones abusing it. The advances are making our world gorgeous, smart cities and lots of other things. We are getting these amazing advantages and using them for our bad. We are doing exactly the opposite we said we were planning. The New York Times is already talking about AI, the biggest technology’s subject today. We are already creating intelligence. We are messing with something we don’t know a lot about, something we don’t know where we are getting with. We are focussing on difficult innovations and forgetting the rest. Every little thing is having an impact in our society. Kids are having eye problems, because they spend too much time on their cellphones. These impacts are the smallest of all, however, they are causing the biggest problems. Above all, the advantages are still marvellous. AI, new computers, iphones, earphones and lots of other things are revolutionising the world. The Better Health Channel is coming up with research about the injuries caused by technology. They can be very serious. These injuries deserve more attention and prevention. It is possible to see that these stupid addictions are hurting us physically and psychologically. This must stop, otherwise more and more people will come up with new injuries caused by this. This may become the next problem humanity is facing. However, the bigger use of technology is increasing the facility to work and the transporting. 

The frequent use of technological objects is affecting us slowly, adding to that, artificial intelligence is bringing quick effects to society. The new technology is changing the world. Furthermore, we are really working on artificial intelligence. Can the intelligence we are creating turn against us? Adam Ambrozi, Quora’s participant, made this assumption: “Imagine a scientist who is planning on shutting down a robot because its getting too smart. In a matter of seconds, the robot downloads every single possible human portrayal of body language and facial expression, learns what they mean, analyzes the scientist's behavior, and decides the scientist's intentions are malicious.” Absolutely out of the box. We are working on something we don’t have any idea of what can happen to it. In addition, it is completely crazy to think that we are creating what can bring an end to us. Artificial intelligence is a new topic with new ideas. What if there is one that does not agree with us? This topic is not normal and it is not even close to anything we have been working with. We may be creating our death. According to Brookings, we are in possession of something that can change everything. We are in possession of something that creates new data. It is extremely important and a huge advance on human history. There are also very good sides of this advancement. We are in a new era. We have a very smart and new power in our hands. This will change the history of humanity. Battlefields, smart cities and thousands of other things will be powered up. Everything will be more advanced.  The Battlefields are changing because of Artificial Intelligence. “There are four major application areas for AI technology in the military: logistics, reconnaissance, cyberspace, and warfare”, according to the Decoder. These are the ways AI is changing wars and becoming essential for an awesome army. The battlefields are being changed and technology is being inserted to the wars. Can this increase deaths and make wars worse? The doom that is waiting for us can be really bad. AI can increase wars. Thinking with other ideas, this can be a technological advancement that is making wars pacific, it seems madness, but it can work. Taking out aggression from wars. Maybe one day wars will be between robots and no one will die on a battlefield.

Bombs, Artificial Intelligence, and so many injuries. All hurting us and helping at the same time, consequently, our lives become a roller coaster. Human beings are always trying to innovate, but in the end, is this right? Maybe it is a good idea to stop and think, otherwise we will transform our planet into a crazy place. Sometimes trying to innovate what was already done would be nice, fixing our basic problems with technology. An intelligence we are creating and changing our whole history and something that can shoot us from the back, who knows? Elon Musk co-signed a piece of paper that was talking about slowing our advances in the artificial intelligence topic, as stated by The Guardian. In the end, who is the problem, humans, or technology?
