"Questioning the Media"

In Chapter 2 we discuss all of the possibilities the internet may have for us and the future generations. I'm so excited about what I may be able to have access to in the future. I have always dreamed of one day in the future being able to speak to a friend through holograms. Imagine holding an object in the palm of your hand and an image of your friend being illuminated right in front of you.



I'm excited about invention like this, because today the we have loved ones spread out all over the country. If we could log onto the internet and use a virtual program like Facebook, except with a 3D app the possibilities would be limitless. We would be able to introduce people a 1,000 miles away to a friend sitting 2 feet away. I think we can invent a way to not just see people on the internet, but they would actually in a 3D way pop out of the screen and talk to us.



This might be our future one day!




As the Internet progress it becomes faster and the bits are holding more and more data. There is so much data on the internet it's hard to wrap our brains around just how much information is shared and saved onto the internet.

One day we may have jaw dropping computers such as this one show in the video below!




 Although there is a lot to be excited about there is also troubling ideas about the future.
One of my troubling thoughts is what if technology becomes so advanced that it spins out of control. At the moment we control the internet, but what if one day the internet advanced itself so quickly that it takes over us.

Who would stop this monster machinery? What will we do when the one who was created decides to take control over its master?Our brains are not capable of keeping up with the speed of a computers brain.



My fear is that we will create robots with computer brains and similar to the movie I Robot where they will take all humans captive and then gives us the order instead of vice verse!
