Will Humans learn to co exist with technology or destroy it or be destroyed by it?

Question

Well I really dont see us as a race ever destroying all technology at least not for another million years when we evolve beyound the need for it like Q for enterprize lol.... As for co existing with technology we sure the hell arnt doing it now its killing us and our planet faster then the dinosaurs and they only died because a meteor or something. So basicaly im left to believe that we will be destroyed by it and that it will have to be looked at as our child hopeful technology wont make as many mistakes or the same ones humans do.

Answer 1

Its one of the doomsday scenarios that technology will become more intelligent than us and therefore no longer need us, turn on us and destroy us. Its not a high level threat. I tend to think that we will change and evolve to compensate for this long before it could happen. But, some scientists believe it could, hypothetically, happen today.

GOD BLESS YOU

Answer 2

The way the human race is going we will destroy ourselves long before we understand technology. Human beings have been existing for maybe a couple of million years and we haven't learned to live together in that time. The dinosaurs ruled the planet for almost 300 million years and if there hadn't been a meteor or some other unprovable end to their reign we might have been living dinosaurs today instead of mammals. In my opinion it is not so much living or being destroyed by technology as it is learning to get along and living with nature. If we were able to apply our learning to living with nature instead of fighting it we would probably live longer healthier lives forever.

Answer 3

Technology destroying the human race sounds like something out of a movie, if you think about it. Most technology sources are innaminate objects, so they obviously can't kill anything by just touching something. Humans have more ability of doing that. Computers can't raise guns & murder a slew of people, like you would see in a movie or a tv show. However, in real life, it's humans that kill humans.

Answer 4

We have co-existed with some kind of technology or other, since the first tool making Homo hablis. It has not destroyed us yet. I make no predictions on felling, thought or belief. You, may interpret what evidence is presented to you of our technological demise as you will.

Answer 5

The greatest threat to humanity from technology isn't bombs or missles. It is two-fold:

1. Highly advanced robotics with sentient, self-aware brains who would be vastly superior to us and totally self-reliant - to them, Einstein would seem like a caveman.

2. Nanotechnology. Microscopic machines that could organize themselves like stem cells into pretty much anything.

I believe the way we will keep from going down a rung on the food chain to our highly advanced creations will be that we will "blend" ourselves with our technology.

Within 50 years, humans will be capable of total recall, communicating telepathically, learning to play the violin simply by downloading the program into our heads. This will all be necessary in order to compete with the machines we create.

As usual, humanity will be dancing on the head of a pin, somewhere between paradise and utter self-destruction.

Answer 6

I think by the way things are going with our advances in technology, people are thirsty for creating the perfect way for self'destruction with the new advances with robotics; creating the human's other half, so to say. The technology that was saposed to be intended for our convenience, will soon be the carrier of our fatal and disasterous ending, and their destruction of their sole creator. My whole view of this is our mortal way of trying to re-create God, whereas our children will destroy their creators.

Answer 7

I heard something about machines becoming so sophisticated and abstruse that they will have the potential to wipe us out. Seems irrational, but its theoratically possible. We currently are coexisting with technology and the prospects are promising so far. I think a very rapid surge in technological innovation could be a detriment. It would leave many people who lack the technology far behind.

Answer 8

Humans will learn to coexist with technology.
Humans will destroy technology.
Humans will also be destroyed by technology.

Answer 9

I think that eventually, the aggression that helped form the war technologies, will be employed to use them. Such aggression applied to such force will probably take out a majority, if not all, of human life.

Answer 10

Of course, I hope in all my being that the Human Creature will be able to coexist with ALL forms of life... technology being one of them.
