Assignment 2 - Dylan Spradlin

We are in the day of age where new technology is constantly being produced and has become accepted into our culture. It is difficult for our generation to imagine how people could have lived years ago when nobody had cell phones or even washing machines. As an introspective person I always want to look ahead, and know what is going to be the next greatest invention, who knows; robots that can cook, cars that drive by themselves, an app that makes you fly (the possibilities are endless). These changes may decrease the amount of human workforce in daily jobs.
As a futurist I could see technology evolving so quickly that machines will be fully equipped to perform human tasks. This would spark changes in the amount of work us as humans would have to do. Machines may grow so powerful and efficient that human jobs would be replaced by robots twice the size and with twice the brain size as we are. Enhanced technology would greatly influence the evolution of humans, as it changes the way we behave and act.
With the number of engineers and scientists rising, innovations are acheived globally everyday. For example, the discovery of another planet--the closest to Earth has been discovered in which life may be possible in years ahead. In a couple of decades who knows what the Earth could look like, technology will permanently shape our future for generations to come.
