"There are Winner's and There are Losers"

The Lessons of Technologies change:

I would like to start this blog post off with the 5 ways technology changes our lives.

First, we pay the price for technology. A great example of this in our current age is AI. It has its benefits, and its destructive attributes. AI can help bring us creative thoughts, ideas, etc. It can help us with editing and creates an easier lifestyle.

Though the downsides of AI can be detrimental. AI has already been used to take peoples voices and create something new. It can make it sound like you have said something, when you really did not. This can create issues with defamation of character when AI is used to create lies.

Second, there are winners and losers. With the evolution of technology, some people benefit while others fall. Some companies will excel in technological advances, while others seem to be dragged behind.

Examples of winners in technological change would be corporations, nation states, etc. Losers would be the ones who are not benefiting for the best necessarily from the changes or simply cannot keep up.

Third, there is always embedded prejudice. We are predisposed to favor one way or another. Technology impacts our thoughts and mind, effecting our actions. There is social or even political prejudice in technology.

Examples of this would be when a political party focuses on issues and results based on things that the party agrees with or prioritizes.

Fourth, technological change is ecological. This is very important. When thinking of this, imagine adding food coloring in a drink, it does not stay in the same spot or maintain space on the bottom, it creates the look of a cloud, spreading throughout the drink, changing its color completely.

This shows how the ecological change in technology is not something that is mild, but a complete change.

Last, technology becomes mythic. This can be a type of mind set.

Imagine if someone asked you when numbers were created, you might be taken back as you have become so familiar with it, that is seems as though it has always been.

All of these technological changes impact our life and way of thinking, whether we notice or not.
