Blogging theme 3

Ourassignment for this blog is to pick a quote off of http://www.quotegarden.com/technology.html
and disscuss it and its meanign to you... so here the quote i pick and below it is a rant . Have fun reading everyone
The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. ~Sydney J. Harris


I really like this quote because it shows the scary side of computers and the difference of computer to human development. Human are breathing, thinking, emotional, empathic, individuals. I believe that there is a select few that behave like computer (ones that believe money, death and destruction is the way of the world). I think losing our human charatertics abd beginning to feel as a number instead of living being, is a scarier thought
computer becoming manlike. I really like this quote cause it did make you think about how the world is run today and how it people are losing there ideity and becoming mindless drowns that might as well be USB into there computers. If we lost all compassions and human attributes, I think the world would become an even more scarier and lonelier place then it alerady is. It really makes you think about all the people that don't interact with anyone one besides there computer. And its even scares me that i can refer to the inamate object as a person without question. This quote can really make you think about the world as a whole and which direction technology is taking us.
