Week 10

Future Vision:

The amount of technology in the video and the thought of how it would change my  life is overwhelming . Being able to make new connections at the press of a button or understand  whole organizations in seconds because a billboard told me what its advertising. But it would be tariffing that my whole life would be online that it would be so easy to be scammed or stocked because everything in my personal life would be accessible to the right kind of bad guy. Also the paranoid part of me doesn't like what this would mean for my future freedoms. For example apps that we download like games and or for emoji's, whatever the reason, ask for permissions and gain access to basic information or occasionally even txt messages or voice mails. This just seems suspicious  especially as technology gets more advanced and our securities become more lax.

In some ways it would be better to have that much technology at my fingertips because there is so much good that could be done like having doctors on call to do in home check ups or connecting people in a more affective way could lead to helping people who were once unreachable. This doesn't directly affect me in that I'm not constantly sick or in poverty, but I do believe that we as people have a responsibility to help those in need and this is how we can improve. Also I would hope it could lead to unity in nations and a better understanding of people and cultures.


In the video we see many things like how easy it was to access hotels or find conference rooms to more efficiently work. The bellhop was able to look up his next client, recognize her and know her needs so that he could maximize her stay. At the business lever this is great because it make for a better customer satisfaction which lead to more costumers. At the level of the consumer it makes traveling, that normal can be disjointing and annoying, a easier and more enjoyable experience. In this world of technology everything is clean and organized. All that is seen is upper middle class workers or higher. For one thing it would make lives easier in that people would be able to work and interact in business relationships at a higher more efficient level. Another way that it would affect people is that it would create a bigger gap in the working classes because only so many people are going to be able to afford this kind of constant technology. After the divide is established it would be nearly impossible to fix and lead us into an even more dependent on physical things. This kind of divide and dependence will cause as much strife as much as it will help connect and create.
