As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will deteriorate?
We live in a century of advanced technological growth. Technology has evolved in almost every sphere and has huge influence on our society. The problem solving ability is a part of evolutionary process with incremental improvements. The earliest homo sapiens were surely not equipped to tackle the most difficult and tedious problems that we are able to deal with it. Moreover, technological advancements are the result of our diligent research and thinking ability. It adds new dimensions and motivates us to think about new creative ways which is often seen as a progress, as it makes human life more comfortable.
Firstly, out of all the industries that technology plays a pivotal role, Healthcare is definitely one of the most important. From the invention of X-ray machines to advancements in surgical practices, technology has made us healthier and increased life expectancies. Previously, we were not able to find cure of diseases such as cancer, jaundice, malaria and many more, but due to technology headway and alms of thinking ability of mankind, our healthcare was able to find solutions and cure for such diseases. So technology has made us grow, evolve for the well-being of mankind.
Would any advancements have been possible without the breakthrough of electricity?? Obviously not. Since early discovers like Benjamin Franklin and inventors like Nikola Tesla tested ways to convert it into power. Consequently due to their analysis and meticulous effort electricity has not only been fueling generations of new innovations but also became an irreplaceable tool of modern life. Harnessing the use of technology it has made our thinking ability quite stronger and helped us to grow and make the best use of it
Emotional technology is the new stage in our eternal search for Artificial Intelligence. It is used for measuring biometric data in order to define emotions and then using these data as an input for various digital applications. Sensors in various wearables can detect the level of excitement in a car driver. When a driver becomes too excited in traffic, there is a risk of road rage, excessive speed or even accidents. In order to avoid such conditions that we carry will detect an increase in the excitement, the playlist that we use in the car will adapt and play quieter song which will help the driver relax without making it obvious. Such preferment in foregoing era is even rare to expect but as we are in the 21st century scientists and researchers are working on it to make this happen.
Human beings have an innate desire to solve problems and create meaningful change around him/her. This desire has propelled us to create technologies that will ease our life, create more opportunities in business, marketing and health sector. Today people try to solve problems in the field of climate change, astronomy, medicine and so on which would not have seen the light of the day without these creations that empower us. Surely technology has not deteriorated our thinking skills instead it has led us to solve more complicated things and made us curious to enhance our skill set with the help of sophisticated tools that have multiplied our cognitive ability.
