The Past - Archaic

Technology began when the idea of automated help occupied the first brain wave. Most don't know technology is based off the brain and it's activities. We did not have online Apps we had service centers which as of Today have kiosk in them- an application used to help others, Self service their transactions (data transfer).

How a Computer works, sorta like the Brain

3 main components:

Like the body is a shell for a Brain, the brain's a shell for the Mind, made up of electrons, neutrons and protons.

Our mind (motherboard) holds the thoughts (data) of the conscious (software) and subconscious mind (stored data) inside the brain (hardware).

That which we notice (input) and that which we didn't even know, We knew (hardwired, stored data) is vital to a properly functioning brain's (computer) mind (motherboard).

Intangible Thoughts are encoded in electrons (programmable coding) sent by Neurotransmitters (data transfer components -synapses) of the neurons (hard drive and software) which is part of the brain (Tower)

The neutrons (hard drive coding) holds the virus protective coding) which is transferred by synapses that nourishes the mind (motherboard) with electrons (software coding) and neutrons (clean transferable data)

Present Day Technology

Pros

• People stay connected
  
• Data is transferred in record time.
  
• Transactions are handled with more transparency and accuracy
  
• People get what they need when they need it

Cons

• Spam - unsolicited Ads and solicitation for service or monetary gain.
  
• Scams - the promise of something of value in exchange for something of lesser greater other equal value, when in actuality nothing is given in return but a promise.
  
• Wide spread Propaganda
  
• Monopolized online industries

Reminder

To notice (compute data) means to be aware (recognized input), being alive (computer On) means being conscious (able to process data). So when you are consciously aware (On and Operating) you are alive (functioning properly) in a conscious (processing data) state.

Futuristic Bots

Technologies whole objective is to automate systems, taking away the constant need for human capital. Very good idea. Saving time and effort of Human beings that would rather spend time with loved ones than sit at a machine all day and input data to meet the economical demand of our society.

Technology, as well as computers, and other machines #devices will continue to revolutionize and globalize our existence bringing us closer together and handling life happenings in record time.

I'm an advocate of technology - the Internet - will end poverty and bring equality amongst the masses.

In Conclusion,

Technology if created, facilitated and implemented properly by trustworthy people can and has helped change our existence drastically.
