Now automation of society |
||
The coming together of computers, genomics, and nanotechnology is redefining our existence. Answer this question? Kaku argues we are in an enormously profound shift because science is discovering a new technical reality. Postman argues, that to properly comprehend how science is changing machinery people must recognize automation for what it is -- the replacement of human capability with machine intelligence. The materials, that comprise smart tools involve ever smaller components. • Information. • Emergence of nanotechnology. • Nano-impacts -- quantum leaps . The impacts machinery and automated technology alters reality because electricity, atoms and fission operate at speeds and in realms we cannot experience. Our scientific understanding of nature --the technical capacity to transform space, time, energy and matter of landscapes brings with it the power to alter personal responsibility and moral choices.
