Kevin Kelley seems to be a visionary with connections to people of the internet, but I always think about the future as well I felt that the computer world would someday take over humanity. I believe from now on movies and comic books should not be titled science fiction, but instead should be called the future because alot that has happened or has become came from these types of movies or comic books or there really are similarities.
As far as us becoming co-dependant on internet I believe we as a nation as the power to limit what the internet becomes. I don't like the idea of the concept that Kevin was talking about with the web being personalized and us needing to be transparent I feel this will create much more predators from the internet than ever before and these people will have access to whom ever they may want.

Hi Greg,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you mentioned the whole "science-fiction" thing. Really, how many movies that are currently in that category are even fiction anymore? There are certainly some extreme examples in the genre, but... Robocop? I mean, maybe a few years in the making before we have something that can judge well enough right and wrong and can interpret the law in action, but the technology is certainly there!
Thanks,
Katie May
Good point that we can choose to limit our dependency on the web. We don't HAVE to get that thumb chip Katie talks about and we don't HAVE to share all our information with every site we visit. Educating our students how to make educated choices in technology will from now on be another thing teachers as well as parents are responsible for.
