The document outlines various ways that continued technological advancement could negatively impact humanity, including through increased weaponry, medical issues from population growth, social isolation due to social networking, and widespread job loss from robotics. Specific concerns mentioned are new ways for people to harm each other with advanced weapons, overburdened healthcare systems, online bullying and deception, and humans being replaced in most industries by more precise and cost-effective robotics.

2. Overview
• Examples why technology
is going to be the end
• Reasoning behind the
examples
• YouTube Videos
• Sources

3. Examples
• Advancements in weaponry
• Advancements in smart
technology
• Television
• Advancements in medicine
• Social networking
• The knowledge of
technology
• Robotics

4. Reasoning
Advancements in Weaponry
• We have enough • Advancements creates new
advancement in weaponry ways for people to harm and
so that we could destroy the kill each other
human race over and over
again
• In the pursuit of finding
resources for survival we
end up killing people that
get in others ways

5. Reasoning
Advancements in Weaponry
• Other religions don’t have • Causes more harm then
the same beliefs as others good, even though
do and when it comes down developers say that the
to can cause people to kill weapons save lives in the
others long run
• We have bio-weapons that
can lead to destruction of
towns, cities and even a
country, its just a matter of
time till someone has had
enough of another

6. Reasoning
Advancement in medicine
• Will cause the population of
the world to increase
causing more recourses to
be used
• Health care would
experience longer waits in
emergency rooms
• Longer living people will
cause pensions to be
increased and could lead to
no benefits and pensions for
up coming generations

7. Reasoning
Advancement in Medicine
• Certain surgeries would go
untouched for days because
of increase of patient
volumes
• With new medicine coming
to the market scientists
need people to test these
drugs and could lead to
death or other harmful side
effects

8. Reasoning
Social Networking
• Make people want to live • Anyone can put anything
there lives online they want on these sites and
could be miss leading to
• People spend more time on
others
these sites then they do with
other people, leading to
isolation
• Some people on these
websites are not who they
appear to be which could
lead to abductions and
pedophiles

9. Reasoning
Social Networking
• Online bullying is happening
more and more because of
these technologies

10. Reasoning
Advancements in Robotics
• Within medicine robotics are • Humans will be eventually
taking over jobs of surgeons be replaced everywhere
because of precision which will make us lazy and
jobless
• Because of precision of
applications and speed
robotics have taken most of
jobs in the industry sector

11. Reasoning
Advancements in Robotics
• Robotics will eventually take
over jobs within other
sectors causing poverty
levels across the world to
rise
• Corporations are taking
robots over people do to
there speed, precision and
cost less overall then people
do
