Confluence  I love a
nice rosy picture of the future, …BUT some real world uses of technology are being misused and crippling Us and the Environment, …we need to be mindful of the consequences of technological change…

Bart Jenson, Dutch artist, who
put sensors to reanimate his dead cat. Will this experimentation lead us to the Zombie Apocalypse?

Misuse of the environment could
alter our DNA turning on the Zombie Apocalypse

Or…

Industry has severely polluted Shanghai
[Disney resort] which cripples our natural supply of oxygen.

Or…

Yes, machines are thinking faster
and more accurate then us, will we see them taking over the world?

Or…

A world so polluted by
technology that these smart machines will use us for survival

Is this our
future?

I certainly hope not! The
technology we have today continues to amaze me. But the environment is important to keeping us healthy. This is why I believe we need to work with each other, technology and the environment to build a world that flows together rather than comes apart. Thinking through the consequences and ethics of what we are doing with technology. Vincent Callebaut http://vincent.callebaut.org/projets-groupe-tout.html
