So far, I think that project is going well but also, I have problems to fix. For my source entry I have to have three different sources with three different topics. Finding similar sources with different genres won’t be easy to do but I expect to get it done. Another problem I have is to source my essay and add more words to my third source entry. After I solve all of these problems, I should be fine putting them together to make my RAB.I also need to rewrite my second source entry because I haven’t completed yet. I was half way finished with it but I stopped. I can find a YouTube video that can relate to my second source entry which will be easy.

During my time researching my topic question I have learned a great deal of information. I have learned that the technology that we think is going to be closer than we expect. Not the really futuristic ideas like flying cars but instead things that makes technology apart of us. Virtual reality is one of the ideas. The virtual reality of the future is going to be way different than the Virtual reality we have now. To give a better understanding the VR will include human senses into it so that people will feel more immersed in it. Imagine you decided to try your VR after a long day of work or school and want to relax. You could take a small trip to a virtual resort. You smell the beach waters and make you think your actually there and having no care in the world. I also learned about the downsides to having technology and how its causes more and more people to lose their jobs every day. When you have machines doing the jobs that humans do without having include risk as a factor then more companies will do this. It’s cheaper to use the machines because they can’t get hurt, don’t have to pay for health insurance and it can’t demand for more money. It will be sad to see more families struggling due to this type of situations. Before finding my research, I was asked, if I was to find research that contradicts my topic would I still write it and I said yes. I did find some research that contradicts me as well as sources that back my side up. To summarize sources that goes against what I say dreaming about the concepts on how it will work is different than putting it into action. When you think about how to solve any problem whether its technology or problem solving in general you think you find the easiest situation until it comes time to put it to the test. The same goes with trying to create the technology we want like teleportation and flying cars. Although we are not close to making that idea reality, we are close to making other things. I believe my generations and younger needs to learn this information because soon it will be our world. They need to know that technology will keep evolving the more we evolve as well but there are also side effects of what they could cause. Before they really create anything, they need to know the pros and cons.

Of course, everyone can’t stop thinking about how the future will be like and think its guaranteed that we will live the futuristic life everyone dreams of. For example, I dream about the day where people can have teleportation machines to make traveling easier, but we know that’s basically impossible to do in the near future for now at least. One of the biggest problems of the future of technology is the how many people will lose their jobs due having machines replace them. An article that goes into a better example of this can be on CSGlobe where it states “With new advances in the field of robotics being made every day, it has been estimated that nearly half of all US jobs will be vulnerable to computerization within the next 20 years. Previous employment areas which were once considered ‘human only’ are now being taken over by machines. Twenty years ago, a self-checkout machine was thought impossible, now there are almost half a million worldwide, enabling one member of staff to run up to six checkout lanes at a time. With AI becoming ever more advanced, there may come a time when computers are able to do jobs which requires human decision making. With automatic cars also just around the corner, will the sole job for humans in the future be the repair and maintenance of the machines which took their jobs? Or at least until a device is invented that can do that as well”. To summarize the quote that was said by the user “Amazing-Buzz” the more technology evolve the more that the machines can operate by itself. When machines can do the jobs that humans can do without the risk or having to pay for workers then company owners would take advantage of this. All they would really need is to pay a couple of workers to supervise the machine to make sure it doesn’t break down. When you think about how many people would be jobless in the future it doesn’t make the future sound too good. Most jobs that you can thin k of have a chance of being replaced by technology. Doctors are no exception, Sometime in the distant future there will be AI machines that can handle the surgery so nobody would have to worry about human error. In the article written by Harvard Business Review they say “Medical artificial intelligence (AI) can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective care at scale. IBM’s Watson diagnoses heart disease better than cardiologists do. Chatbots dispense medical advice for the United Kingdom’s National Health Service in lieu of nurses. Smartphone apps now detect skin cancer with expert accuracy.”. To summarize the quote it says that AI intelligence are smart enough to do what train professionals can do. Looking at this article shows that’s just what current AI can do and  makes people wonder how they will continue to evolve even more in the future.
