Programming The Future
Description
Have you ever looked at movies depicting the future, both utopias and dystopias alike, and wondered, "Could that truly be our future?"
In this book, we will be looking at how technology has progressed through the years to get a glimpse of the future. Here, you will learn how humans lived their lives in the past and how technology has influenced that way of life and transformed it into what it is today. We will also discuss certain turning points in human society that lead us to where we are now.
Once we understand our past, we can begin to look at the present and see how technology is currently influencing our lives. As we discover the changes that are happening all around us, we will be able to construct an image of the future and, hopefully, catch a glimpse of what life in the future may be like.
This book will explore the social implications of technology. Together, we will be answering the following questions: Do we bring about the changes in our society through the technology we develop? Or does technology bring about change through us?
