Topic: Simulation
In simulation, we see technology being in control of what the regular human being can do.
In our digital media class, we watched a video of a computer competing against other people in jeopardy. Basically, the computer was being engineered by other people controlling it.
So we wonder, do we have control of technology, or does technology have control of us? Right now, we don't have that kind of technology that is capable of controlling society or the way us humans think. Although, i fear that in the future, technology will be so advanced that everything we do involves technology, which takes us humans away from our own minds. Imagining that computers do all the work for us, there is no further point of our own intelligence If it ever came to the point where a computer or some type of enchanment of technology controls the world, we as humans need to look upon different ways of doing things in life. Unfortunatley, it may be the harder way of finding answers, but we as humans become to dependent on this technology to help us achieve something important.
Google has been our main source of finding answers sufficiently and quickly. Jensen mentions in an article that Google Earth. "It enchances a spatial and social experience," which demonstrates that the Internet is not a space, and it is distinct from the "real world". It creates physical, imaginary, and meditated experiences for social space users.
