The boundaries that man has put upon the creation of new technology is the aftermath of catastrophic events such as the atomic bomb and other weapons of mass destruction. The lecture today was a very thought-provoking, the ideas were asking for debate and interaction. A new portable device that enables you to access everything in the world anywhere in the world, with pretty much the only need being your fingers. Japanese cars with slick designs, glinting with fresh paint begging to be bought. These new inventions would make my old dad say ” were not in Kansas anymore” to my mom. The art that John made even seemed innovative, part of a new and improved evolutionized way of thinking. The brief debate was that how far is enough, I think that new technology that makes dangerous actions less of a risk is a smart thing. Such as the car in Japan that rotated so that you could see exactly where you were parallel parking was really smart and would be used well. The worrisome idea is the use of newfound technology for the use of weapons. Yes we should not be naive and think that the rulers of the Earth would not do something so stupid and aggressive, but to not trust anybody is not a vey bright idea. The technology should definitely have some sort of sanctions in order to prevent another world war, which would destroy almost all humans. You can call me an extremist but i do not think guns should be legal, hunting is the worst sport and guns find themselves in the hands of criminals.

Crazy to think that people care so much about killing others.
