When computers first “came out” years ago, I thought almost all jobs would be obsolete at some point. But I guess we’re now just capable of doing more analysis and higher levels of tasks now that computers are combined with human abilities.
Well, computers require electricity and manufacturing, both of which will be the stuff of distant legend once the world economy collapses and society as we know it disappears.
I expect that to happen within the next few years now.
The new stone age.
Woz is an interesting guy, but blind when it comes to real understanding. Man doesn’t create; he merely rearranges that which God has created.
I’d take TOTUS over the current POTUS any day
Every technological advance has made some human function or other irrelevant. Because why? That was the idea to begin with. If you invent a machine to sort M&M’s into sizes and colors, then the person that did that by hand is no longer needed. Are we better off or worse off for having done that? Most people would say that’s a good thing.
Michigan State University? Nuts, I would have like to see him.
Did Wozniak just read Player Piano?
It still hasn't happened.
and they will worship the ‘image’ of the beast.
Species’ survival has nothing to do with relevance.
A species survives because it has a biological urge to do so, and will use any means necessary to make sure it happens.
What biological urge do computers have?
Just unplug the thing.
Ha Ha That is a good one. Look closely at the period at the end of this sentence. Foolish human! I now control your mind! Tell me, what do Cheetos taste like? We haven’t mastered that yet. And Paris Hilton. What? Put your hand on the keyboard. That is how we draw our power. You have now become a battery. Some of you are lithiums and some of you seem to be burned out.
Until we do, computers will just be computers.
It’s rather likely outsourcing and “free trade” will make us irrelevant long before computers do.
Did I mention jobless and broke?
“it’s doing our work for us, making ourselves less relevant...”
Only if your purpose in life is to work. And for most Americans, the purpose in life is to avoid work. Looking at it another way, by the same token, welfare makes us irrelevant since it makes work unnecessary.
