All around us. I’m not talking
about some apocalyptic meltdown or the often suggested idea of computers taking
over and somehow getting rid of us. It is something more subtle than those
scenarios, a slowly cooking stew that is gradually making our lives as they are
now redundant. Some will view this as a
good thing, others as not but it is certainly a Thing that cannot be denied.
Some will cite global warming, potential pandemics or war as more serious
threats but these are all things we can potentially do something about. When it
comes to technological development the plug will never be pulled. What we have
to learn is how to live with it.
