Best of Week: Technology


Something that really intrigued me in class this week was our discussion about humans and technology. We talked about the possibility of having the ability to download information into our brains and the ethics of doing so.

While it would be insanely cool to be able to do that, I also think that it’s not natural. It feels like cheating. What would we be working towards if we could have everything we needed programmed into our brains already? If everyone is special then no one is special. If everyone is beautiful then no one’s beautiful. Then would the same goes for this? If everyone is at the highest intelligence then no one’s at the highest intelligence.
