How many times have you caught yourself thinking about something else while someone was speaking to you? Was it embarrassing when that person then asked you a question and you couldn’t answer? Clearly, communication fails when listening does not take place.
Yes that has happened to me, however i did not necessarily find it embarrassing giving what they were talking about was boring. I was more embarrassed for them.
What do you think about driver-less cars? Would you feel secure riding in one?
I would not feel safe riding in one until they have had at least a year to fix all the kinks. I believe they are more of a safety problem because a machines reaction time is considerably different from a humans also fight or flight skills.
Do you agree that we are more anxious because we use old tools for today’s jobs?
I do not, because these tools were created to do these jobs. We are constantly innovating thus the "anxiety" question. This should give us a sense of comfort knowing something better will always come along.
What is your view of the idea that choosing a career because you truly enjoy it will not make it seem like work at all and that true success is measured by more than money? How will these ideas impact your career decisions?
Explain what you think the above statement means; describe a specific situation in which computers might not alienate people from one another; and discuss what you think determines whether or not computers alienate people from one another.
