What you're saying is awfully short-sighted. Technology is here to enable a better life for us - make things easier for us. What's so wrong about having software tell you the exact route you need to take?
- kombine 15y agoIf one day we get a technology that enables us to be smarter, stronger, more beautiful - is that going to be beneficial for the mankind? What's wrong with it, is that you get used to not figuring out things yourself. You stop practicing certain skills and end up relying on Google too much. What was the cognitive method that Leonardo da Vinchi used? He was figuring out everything by himself. Of course it's quite an absurd in the modern world, where we stand on the shoulders of the giants. But still, a good deal creativity should be required. That's more of a philosophical issue with the whole human civilization. In our journey to become independent of the nature we made ourselves dependent on the infrastructure. And companies like Google take it one step further.
