New World with Human Interaction

We continue to push the limits of our imagination. We want to see what we can create because we want control over it. But if we continue to make things more powerful it may go to far. What will happen when the computers don't need us anymore. Will they be able to develop with their own agendas. We will lose control over the technology and it will decide what their and our futures. It may sound like science fiction but it may become science fact. Just like the natural evolution of our own DNA  the computers will be able to evolve without our input.  Manuel Castells and Jan Van Dijk both deal with these issues of if we do not keep ourselves in check we will pay the greatest prices. They have different views but I believe they both understand the power of technology and how it will change our world as we know it. Our technology is a very powerful tool just like a calculator. If we cannot add or do math without it, it does not help us. If we allow these tools to do everything for us we lose that knowledge. Our future generations will lose this knowledge forever. I hope we do not become to dependent on the tools that were there to guide our knowledge seeking and make it faster and more productive. It is difficult to tell what is to much.
