I just recently read an article called, "The Internet of Things" and I have to say that it scared me very much. The article written by David H. Freedman says that in the future we might be able to keep tabs on everything we have, even pants. Can you believe it? A tiny pocket size phone will be able to keep track of all your belongings. They may even be able to keep track of other people if they get a chip installed in their body.
Personally I think that this is scary and astonishing. It would be extremely weird for someone to keeptrackof you and know where you are every moment of the day. This is also weird because it sends randomthingsabout your stuff into the Internet. It will send things into the Internet that you won’t be able to take back. Everyone will know what you have and where it is, so you will have no personal things or secrets.
I am against this idea. I think that people should try to keep more things to themselves. Technology likethis can be extremely dangerous in the hands of the wrong people. People with bad intentions can easily tracksomeone down and harm them. This can be tremendously dangerous. Whether it’s from cyber bullying orphysical harm, it’s still dangerous. I am also against this because people nowadays are becoming toodependent on technology. With this new "tool" coming along people are going to become even moredependent and don't forget to mention lazy. If more technology like this is being mad, then how are we goingto be able to have great leaders and a safe and calm environment in the future?
Jocelyn, your right because people who have dirty wrong thoughts could easily commit a crime and there is nothing you can do to stop it. by the way it would be easy catching criminals, correct?
ReplyDeleteJocelyn, I like what you said. I also think that with this tecnology people are going to get more lazy and like you said they are going to be less independent.
