computer politics?

computers couldn't make a worse job than people so I'm for them being in charge - as long as they get to program themselves.

One thing bad about computers is that they're causing a lot of unemployment. Manual labour once needed for the creation of materials is now replaced by computers. All those people who worked there now have no jobs.

For every job that a computer replaces, another job is created for the person who has to maintain it.

One person can manage a computer that replaces the job of thousands.

I think it all depends on your outlook. If you choose the right area to get educated in you will not be without a job.

Some people still have to run the computers... But I don't know what all the others would do. Perhaps we'll live in a world where we don't have to work and robots will grow food for us.

that would s*ck bigtime, you'd have to go to school and when you get back home you have nothing else to do, just learn and maybe play outside or something like that but here in belgium that's only going to happen in the summer (if it isn't raining that is)

We'll all be long since dead by the time that computers and machines replace everybody's job (if that day will ever come). People have had the fear of machines taking over everyone's job since the early stages of the industrial revolution. Anybody ever see the old Charlie Chaplin movie called "modern times" ?

One thing I've come to observe is that people go crazy with predictions about technology. They always say the worst thing will happen, and it never does. Surely we all remember y2k!

Did anyone's computer get messed up or broken from the Y2K bug? My old Pentium 200 didn't...
laine

I had one of the 1st versions of win95 and no patch & my pc was fine.

I think that before computers 'rule' the world, maybe one person will. Kinda like Bill Gates but more successful. Patent on a successful nuclear fusion reactor, anyone?

yeah...

do you guys think
the *world* has a great future then?
lucifer

surely if we survived y2k nothing can go wrong ever!! :cool:

Today I have decided not to be my usual sceptical self
laine
May 16th, 2001, 02:52
y2k is really that great?

I don't see why surviving a made up computer bug would make us invincible... :confused:

The world becomes more and more complex and differential.
Compare with life of wild tribes where all was united.
It isn't so simple in the world to find a useful knowledge.
The science - the most, as I think, positive thing giving potentially a true one. Then applications of science go. The other - only a cow's chew (TV, ads and so on).
