FREE ESSAY ON MACHINES IN THE FUTURE

MACHINES IN THE FUTURE

Whether we like it or not, machines will play an important part in the future. They
already play such a large role in our life, it's almost inevitable. Over the past 20
years, the use of computers has skyrocketed. Now there is almost one in every home.
Children of this generation are being taught to use computers at a very young age.
Computers are used in most every office, also. Jobs that used to be done by men can now
be done by machines. Technology is growing each day. Jobs are being replaced by machines,
and there is more need for people familiar with computers or technology. In a lot of
cases as far as jobs etc go, it's something you need to know or something that helps
considerably. Technology is becoming more advanced. As the technology changes, so do our
lives in a small way and it shall continue into the future.
Technology has changed our lives for both better and worse. It has made life so much
easier. Now instead of baling the hay themselves, farmers can put the hay into a machine
that makes bales. It is not only more efficient, but the outcome is much more desirable.
Laborious jobs have been reduced or eliminated. Though it has made life easier, it also
has promoted laziness. Instead of using our physical ability to accomplish a job, so many
can now be done by machine. Rather than walking to the store to pick up margarine most
would drive to the store. Little things that are so easily accomplished by hand can now
be done mechanically. We'd rather have a machine do the job, than exert the extra energy.
This laziness has caused a decrease in the over-all health of human kind. There are more
cases of obesity. The medical world has advanced, finding cures to many diseases, yet
there are more diseases each year. In some cases we don't really know what we're doing,
which can be extremely dangerous. Good and bad have both resulted from technology.
I've been working on computers for about 10 years, and I love them! I look forward to the
advancements in computers. I was too young to experience the beginning of computers, but
I truly would have liked to see them grow. It will be interesting to see what the future
has in store for us. It could very possibly be complete disaster. There is more work
being done with artificial intelligence and there is always the worry that a type of
thinking robot could be created which will wipe out humankind. The robots may start to
think of us as inferior and take over. We could also be the destruction of ourselves.
With technology, war is made so much easier. There would be more death and destruction
than ever if World War III broke out. With one push of a button, the whole world could be
annihilated! Now that's scary stuff. The fate of the world is in someone's hand.
Technology is both enlightening and frightening at the same time. It's hard to tell where
exactly it will go, but it will most definitely be a part of our future.
