Corporate, religious, technological, and bureaucratic control are the big 4 types of dystopian societies. There are three things that control people the most in dystopian societies. Dystopian societies include bureaucratic control, technological control, and propaganda that all take away people’s…

needs to be treated. If it was only for the profit, science had crossed the ethical boundaries. Turkle similar to Watters worries about the ethics being ignored. Rather than pharmaceutical companies, in her essay, she uses robots to describe the “singularity” or ethical boundaries that should not be crossed. Turkle writes “No matter what position one takes, sociable robots have taught us…

History of Computers Computers became an essential part of life in the modern days. It is basically a machine that perform complex task with least human effort involved. Computer we know today started out simple and evolved with the advancement in technology and efficient manufacturing processes for the component inside. The first electronic computer created in 1947 and was call Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, or ENAIC. It was created for military purposes and financially back by…

aspect(s) than the competencies of other organizations, consequently enabling the formulation of a unique value proposition in the function of the business. A distinctive competency is fundamental to producing an unassailable competitive advantage. The singularity tells this competency apart from all others, regardless of its nature as a core competency or simply a competency. As a company of many firsts, Takata is clearly a pioneer in many of its products in this industry. This is definitely…

Longer (compared to the immediate future) term improvements could be the unification of the headphone and the media player, potentially making electrostatic headphones portable and providing the highest quality sounds on the go. Perhaps in a pseudo-singularity future, the headphones become a part of the user by directly interacting with and manipulating the audio sensory sub-systems in the ear. Perhaps skipping the ear completely and stimulating music directly to the brain could happen instead.…

While Chardin and Leroi-Gourhan provide novel accounts of humanity’s development from its primitive state, Lévi-Strauss avoids privileging a narrative of humankind’s progression from primitivism; instead, he is interested in the study of the primitive as a lens through which to view the world. However, all three authors agree that humankind’s progress into the near future will be accompanied by significant transformations in the very nature of humanity, for better or for worse. In The Phenomenon…

reproduced in large quantities, replacing a distinct existence – or trying to as it will never own up to the original – with an existence that is defined by the magnitude of its existence. With this change in reproducibility the aura is lost, for singularity is replaced by a mass existence, something the technology of reproduction can never capture. Not only is it the case that the technology Benjamin (1993) refers to does not capture the aura of art, but it also serves to extract sameness “even…

The most significant passage in this book might be about malignant failure in particular. He includes that the definition of malignant should not necessarily be upheld in this case. Malignant can refer to multiple outcomes in relation to artificial intelligence. He includes the relation of malignant failure to a weak or a strong machine. If the machine is weak, the fallout is limited in result, but when the machine is incredibly aware and intelligent the fallout is catastrophic. In Nick…

In the past decade alone, the use of technology throughout society has increased dramatically. Technological advances have gone from being privileges to integral parts of the daily lives of a large population of the world. A shift towards developing artificial intelligence (AI) has occurred in order to increase convenience and efficiency of tasks and processes for individuals, businesses, and nation-states. However, unintended consequences have arisen alongside the rapid development of these…

Universal Basic income has direct impacts of several principles of Catholic Social Teaching and its potential to impact the social good. Intimate involvement with core values associated with the social good and individual responsibilities are prerequisite to understanding the impetus behind establishing a UBI. While further analysis is needed before it can be equated with increasing the common good of mankind, it does have several aspects that are aimed at improving the well-being of all,…
