Humans and machines are definitely a match made in Heaven, until you look at the differences and troubles they bring to each other. These days it seems like one can’t work without the other, and that will become a problem. Really, look at the charts in the first reading. Who wouldn’t want a computer or machine to help them out? Machines and humans compliment eachother to make one, whole, superhuman like figure. Seriously if you think about the qualities of man and combine that with the qualities of a machine it’s amazing. A machine is orderly, precise, and logical while a human is emotional, creative, and compliant. Neither have the exact same capabilities but they compliment eachother well. Isn’t there a saying that two minds are better than one? I completely agree with that, but one mind and a machine is the best anyone is going to get.
Until I read these articles I didn’t realize how important machines are. I hate to admit it like this, because I honestly cannot stand technology. But think of how far we have come since machines and technology have been around. We eat better, we are more healthy, we have warm clothes, we live two to three times longer, and we are safe from our surroundings. Machines have brought humans to where we are today, and I don’t think anybody can take that away.
On the flip side, I do see humans longing for nature and simplicity in some cases. That is why people go on vacation, or go hiking on the weekend. I think it is different here in Seattle because many people here are very earth conscious and outdoorsy. For a native Seattlite, I bet it would be easier to live without technology than it would be for a New Yorker or L.A. Some people don’t even think there is a green world out there, they live in the city and work with machines all day. I would guess that if people really knew what was out there besides work and machines and technology, they would appreciate life more.
OK, random thoughts I know my computer battery is dead!
