Since my friend’s tablet operates like my cell phone,
she demonstrated a couple of new features that I didn’t know existed. I discovered that my camera has voice
–activated technology, so we took a selfie by saying, “capture!” Amazing!
When I shared my fantastic discovery with my husband, he
asked if I had read my phone’s directions.
Of course not. I rarely read product
directions, unless it’s for electric appliances or medicines. Here’s my motto
on the topic: Life’s too short to read technology directions. If I have a smart
phone, shouldn’t it tell me what it does?
Companies already make a smart home and a smart car that parks
itself. If this trend continues, we’ll be a society of dumb people ruled by
smart technology. Could technology rule the world? It sounds like Phil's Al’s preparing
for it:
Watch out if Al Phil enters the next presidential race. He’s
prepared, charismatic, and has a stinging sense of humor. Notice how he started
off friendly, then things got creepy. Where’d he pick up the zoo joke? Not
funny Phil!
We love our smart technology, but let’s not leave everything
to the “Phils” of the world. What do we stand to lose due to technological
advancements?
