At first I thought the books I got for my paper were going to be a complete hassle to read over and get information out of, but the readings actually were quite interesting and I got a lot out of them. After reading small parts of each source I got from Nye, I got really interested in technology and wanted to know more. The information I read allowed me to form questions in my head and narrow information down into a research question. Althought I dont have my research topic fully ready to go considering there's so much information I could get from the broken down question I already have, I do plan on getting a good experience out of this research paper and am excited to learn more about technology and what people think.
Before this class I had no idea people thought this way about technology and had no idea that it was as big of a topic as it really is. It really enhanced my knowledge and my interests to want to discover more about technology. Due to the information from the books and in class, I was able to come up with my research topic. My topic has to due with technology taking over the jobs of humans and I find it really interesting because it will be a serious problem if it actually does happen. I guess I came about this topic because I saw through the readings and in class discussions on how this topic is a serious topic. I dont think its a high topic for technology, but I still feel its an important issue. Working is important for living and/or survival so it would be a tough life or a much different life without a job.
In discussing it in further terms, I think this is also a big issue because I am still a college student working hard to get a job for my future. What will happen to me or schooling systems if we are no longer in need of preparation for jobs due to the fact that technology does the job for us? Will additional education in colleges even be needed if technology takes over jobs? And how will people make a living and/or what will they do if they don't work? The society would become lazier and less informed of their own capabilities if technology completely takes over. Jobs are how we make a living. They are how we buy homes and take care of our families and go out to dinner with friends. Jobs are our lives and if technology takes over those jobs, we would have an intense change in society, and, to my understanding, not for the better. Life, to me, would honestly be so boring.
All in all, even after writing this i'm really excited for my topic now and excited to start the research!
