2. When Humanity and Technology Cross

3. Unit Expected Outcomes At the end of this unit, the students are expected to: Discuss contemporary human experience to strengthen the human person functioning in society. Evaluate the impact of Technology on humans and society.

4. “The idea that new technologies can liberate us from the human condition is a fantasy. In reality, the 21 st -century will be all too human.” -David Mattin

5. Human Robot Interaction Today, in the era of present technology, robotics has become a big part of our collective lives. Robots are utilized for their knowledge, exactness and interminable vitality to perform assignments consistently and profitably, that when performed by people tends to create flaws. For instance, AI robots have already started an enormous job in improving waste administration and finding distinctive approaches to handle the waste issue endured by most developing nations like India. Indeed, the robot age has arrived.

6. Human Robot Interaction The possibility of robots may bring to most minds the possibility of androids like T-800 in the movie “Terminator”. The vast majority of us are not able to understand that a lot of robots exist in the most basic forms today; they are not so much android but rather more like industrial tools or equipment. This implies the world would be prepared for more smart intelligence to be utilized in day-to-day applications (Singh).

7. The Impact of Technology on Human Health Technology has crept into every corner of our lives, form obsessive texting to checking emails more often. Most of us absorb three times more information everyday compared with 50 years ago. According to University of California researchers, we spend 12 hours in front of TV and computers at home. Multitasking participants had more difficulty filtering out irrelevant information than those focusing on one task at a time. Teens, however, are emotionally more vulnerable to the effects of rampant texting and online sharing. According to a 2010 Nielsin survey, we send and receive text messages 3, 339 times a month (Deodhar).

8. The Future of Humanity: Extinction (Bostrom, 2009) An estimated 99% of all species that ever existed on earth are already extinct (Raup, 1991). There are different ways in which human species could become extinct: Primarily, by transforming or evolving into one or more species or by merely dying out without any replacement or continuation. Our species has survived earthquake, volcanic eruption, typhoons and other natural phenomena for tens of thousands of years. Nowadays, one of the utmost extinction risks arise from human activity.

9. The Future of Humanity: Extinction (Bostrom, 2009) For instance, Advances in biotechnology might make it possible to design new viruses that combine the easy contagion and mutability of the influenza virus. A dreadful pandemic with high virulence and 100% mortality rate among infected individuals could possibly will terminate human species. Additionally, an all-out nuclear war between Russia and the United States might be an example of a global catastrophe that would be unlikely to result in extinction.

10. Recurrent Collapse This means that the human condition will reach a kind of status, either instantly or after undergoing one or more cycles of collapse regeneration. Human civilization may endure catastrophes that prevent it from moving beyond a certain level of advancement. It also requires a carefully calibrated homeostatic mechanism that possesses the level of civilization restricted within a relatively narrow interval.

11. Plateau Human civilization may reach a level of technological advancement beyond which no further advancement is feasible. Predictions that life span can be greatly increased have depended in part on the apparent decelerations and plateaus.

12. Post Humanity People have developed significantly different cognitive abilities, population sizes, body types, sensory or emotional experiences or life expectancies. Post humanity has established itself as a label for a form of human existence radically transformed by the most advanced medical techniques and by the use of biotechnology and nanotechnology for human enhancement.

13. Technology Trends (Pandya, n.d.) Biological Engineering and Bio-Economy Molecular Manufacturing and Self-replicating Systems Distributed Additive Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence Driven Automation Neuromorphic Computing and Computing Beyond Turing Limit Quantum Computing and Control Nanosatellites and Space Exploration
