Let there be Happy_technology

Let there be happy_technology©


The world is not in any kind of danger, and no supervillian has posed a threat to our existence, yet. But we can’t ignore the fact that the science and technology that we are innovating everyday is feeding a snake that possibly is going to create somewhat mess sometime in future. I am not talking about a super sized robot taking up on earth and turning us all into its captives, nor am I talking about a computer program that acts lively and starts murdering people. We have seen such craps more than enough, and we can’t deny that we don’t enjoy such fantasies, but the real issue here is not about worrying of a film fantasy, but acknowledging the fact that science is growing fearsome along with its sophistication.


For instance, I would be wrong if I said that I own printed books more than the eBooks I have on my computer. Besides, I have all my photos, and what not, stored in the hard drive of my computer. A question arises upon my common sense now. Really? Do I trust all my data, memories, books, information, and everything I rely upon to a pocket sized box of metal and semiconductors spinning way faster than I can even notice? The big picture here is that everything I do, whether reading, playing, or even my communication with the world is totally dependent on my computer. And even an insurance company can’t guarantee to cover my loss if I accidentally lose control of my computer.

We are so full with the news of cyber crimes being committed daily, and plenty of people have even given up their lives because someone just hacked into their privacy and mingled things up. The days where someone gets inside our mind using supernatural tricks are either long gone, or are limited to few TV shows, but with the dependency we are growing on computers, and with the trust we showcase to our digital friends, which is even more than we trust our real friends, we surely are destined to be heartbroken, and my concern here is to warn you not to let it cost us much.

So what then? Should we stop computing at all? No. But it’s high time that we started being careful around these digital friends, and ensured full security measures from the potential dangers and loses. So, always keep your helmet on and make sure first aid kit is in your reach. Sorry I actually mixed up my post from another blog here, probably a side effect of staying up late. The real concern here is about us being dependent in computers right? Well then, we all know what to do. Only buy products from apple inc. and keep digital everything safe and secured (and hence remain the fools as we are now), or maybe we can give a slight thought about considering the use of every available means to protect ourselves against the vulnerabilities and risks. I don’t know why I have a slight hunch that you are wondering why I have been so unexpressive on details, and also why I have not mentioned any single measure to stay secured, but all I have got to say is that you have access to internet, and so I want you to dig it up yourself. Either I am too lazy to write it for you, or I am too influenced by the writers of  the modern TV drama series to emit important portions and details to make readers want more of my shows, but either ways, I want you to be cautious, and I want you to learn to be cautious on your own.
