Thread: Really cool "6th sense technology"

Cars are quite un-necessary. We managed to do fine without them before. And now we have a dependence on foreign oil, and are draining the world of all of our petroleum. We have become the most unsustainable society imaginable. Yeah sure technology makes things convenient, but now people have become completely lazy and dependent on it. What I was getting at is we managed fine before (probably better, everybody had skills way back when, a specialized skill, and the village couldn't go on without that specific person doing that specific skill.) We should learn to do things on our own because one day technology isn't going to do its job anymore. I hate to mention such a shitty movie as I-Robot, but I can definitely see something similar on a lesser scale happening like that.

Don't listen to me though, I want to move to the alaskan wilderness and live off the land. And I'm sitting in front of a television and a laptop right now.

Well this is just imaginative conjecture. There's no reason to think "technology won't to its job" some day and there's also no reason to think that machines we create will turn around and try to kill us.
