I was thinking about the day when technology will do everything for humans. With a click of a button everything will be available: food, art, music, entertainment...What will happen with humans then? Will they become better?
I was thinking that, if everything is available and made by robots or other non-humanoid technology, would it possibly be end of humanity? Because I think that the essence of humanity is creativity. Take away the possibility to be creative from humans and you will destroy them.
With no possibility of creativity human being easily becomes apathetic and depressed. Imagination, curiosity and creativity lead humans to new developments. Denying those to human beings leads to deterioration of human race.
Fortunatelly, there is no need to be very afraid of technology. There is simple truth about technology: it has failures and malfunctions. Every pessimistic view of new technologies assumes that technology will never fail. To our luck, it is simply not true. Even the best technology has its life cycle. Besides, human beings can always decide to destroy all technology or, at least, lower its impact.
Good thing about technology is that it connects people now more than ever before in the past. People are more aware of each others and that's a good thing. And as Matt Mullenweg said: "Technology is best when it brings people together".
