How we are being changed by technology
It’s not news that society is hugely affected by technology. The effects on transportation, communication, warfare, health, etc, are clear. But what about basic human behavior? That is also heavily influenced and some aspects are referred to in an article at Computerworld that asks, Are computers transforming humanity? The article reports:
Researchers and technologists alike say they’re already seeing technology-wrought changes in how we operate as individuals and as a society. To be clear, they’re not finding evidence of evolutionary transformations — those show up over thousands of years, not merely decades. But there have been shifts in individual and societal capabilities, habits and values. And just how these all will play out remains to be seen.
