People+and+machine

= **People and Machine﻿ ** = = **//﻿Definition:﻿﻿ //**  = **The use of IT systems brings significant advantages, for instance in ease of use, being available 24/7, or through its use rather than exposing humans to a potentially hazardous environment. However, this can raise concerns about the rate at which technology is being introduced and issues that may arise from insufficient testing in critical situations such as air traffic control. The ultimate fear of many people is that** **future systems will be programmed to make decisions that would be better taken by humans, such as the decision to deploy nuclear weapons. There are also social impacts such as internet addiction, where people feel that they can never get away from IT and are trapped on a “digital treadmill”. **

 * Today, we can’t imagine ourselves without technological advances such as cars, microwaves, cell phones, computers, and televisions. However, technology won’t stop here, but develop further. As technology develops, there are not only advantages, but also disadvantages from them. **=====

=

 * A few advantages of upgraded technology are that one can save time and money ,so life will be made easier as a result of not having to do all the hard labor. In contrast, the disadvantages of upgraded technology are that people will loose their jobs to machines that will do the work for them.As people loose their jobs, they will have hard time getting money which would make it hard for them to continue to meet living expenses. Moreover, as people use less money the economy would be difficult to control and especially if it is a country as large as the United States, the problem will influence the world greatly. In addition, machines and robots are too complex for most people to use. **=====

=
**However I do want a more advanced world with advanced technologies because when you have advanced technologies, life is much easier ,as robots and machines would take over your daily life chores.With robots and machines doing one’s chores ,one has time to relax. Another reason is because unlike humans, robots and machines do not make mistakes when programmed correctly. They always accomplish tasks perfectly so you won’t have to worry about making a mistake and getting trouble. **=====


 * ====Robots and machines ====

This video shows some examples of present-day automated manufacturing. More and more work will be done by machines and robots. The problem today is that only a few people benefit from the use of technology and money. But the majority of people in developed and developing countries are forced to work a great deal to avoid unemployment and to make a living. Increasing economic inequality causes tension in society, resulting in crime, violence and wars. Extrapolating this trend into the future, it is evident that we need a systematic change so that society as a whole will profit from increased automation. || media type="youtube" key="8TNqEHNnYXE?fs=1" height="385" width="480" ||

//**The Questions that we should be thinking about:﻿**//

 * 1) **Who controls the design of technology and the pace of its introduction?How safe and effective is the design?**
 * 2) **Is technology going to extend human faculties and make work easier and more pleasant, or are machines going to displace humans and lead to mass unemployment?**
 * 3) **Is technology used appropriately, or should a better, possibly non-technological alternative be found?**
 * 4) **Which areas of human endeavour are best served by IT systems?**
 * 5) **Which social and ethical issues arise from a comparison of people and machines inthe following areas: stamina, memory, accuracy, speed, analysis, synthesis, judgment, innovation, creativity?**
