Self driving cars are the future.. but is technology enhancing our lives or making them worse? I think technology sucks.

1. Automated ticketing and parking facility attendants = lost jobs.

2. Robots replace humans at factories = lost jobs.

3. Self-service checkout = less cashiers = lost jobs.

4. Cars pump their own gas, or self propel = gas stations needed less = lost jobs.

5. Shopping carts are still manual, it'll be automated soon. = lost jobs.,

6. Cars will be self driving soon = more accidental deaths, tons of lost jobs (cabs).

I don't see anything positive about these innovations. All I see is lost jobs. Yes there is lower overhead but its temporary because lost jobs means less money in circulation, which means that community has less money to spend.

If you multiply what I am talking about, at some point all jobs will be replaced by a machine.

Then who is going to have any money to buy anything? Machines don't need water, food and cars.

On a dangerous note, if a car is controlled by a computer, and a computer can be hacked, and nothing is 100% secure, what's stopping a hacker in the future from using your own car as a weapon against you?

See what I mean? technology sucks.

What do we do? So need is the mother of invention, right? If we don't use it it'll just go away.

1. Go to malls that use manual ticketing attendants or malls that have free parking.

2. Avoid Walmart, Amazon and huge retailers using robotics in lieu of humans.

3. Never use self-service checkout

4. Don't buy Telsa, Apple or Google cars or any other computerized car.

5. Buy stuff that is handmade.

I am thinking of a world that uses technology to enhance humans, not replace them.

Over-ruled. Ridiculous and thrown out of court. Counter suit for wasting our time.

Ridiculous.

Russians are some of the best programmers out there. The brains behind millions of apps, software and source code. Taking 1 piece of a software off the shelves is very short sighted. It would be smarter to develop a system to detect malicious code in commercial software, open source software is much safer to run.

California :)

Come negotiate lower taxes with Sacramento.

Why would Timmy want to come to a meeting about encryption? I wouldn't either. Who cares. Encryption is the future, stop hating.

I will NEVER use Autopilot

Computers will always be flawed. Imperfectly created ourselves, it's not within us to create a perfect machine. Mistakes will be made, accidents will happen, let it be a lesson to car manufacturers to innovate but not replace human reaction. Innovation is nice, but ignorant. Less is more. Telsa should disable autopilot permanently. Condolences to the family...

Obama is correct, but only in theory. I do believe "a trusted government" should have access to encryption in order to fight on the people's behalf. But the government is no longer trusted, and that is the problem. They have abused their power time and time again.

Besides, what if terrorists don't use a cell phone, then what? They can't be caught?

Why is our tax info sitting on the public internet ?

Maybe the irs should hire an it company that knows what they are doing.

"Terrorism" is new the blanket word... to invade our privacy. The iPhone has terrorist secrets, just like Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

If the Iphone truely had terrorist secrets, they'd hire a iOS hacker to access the data. Whenever the device in your possession you have full control, I dont care what encryption it has, anything can be broken. This is not about this one iPhone and its contents, its about power.

It will never end...

Today Apple should make a backdoor, tomorrow it'll be an Android phone, next week it'll be a Lenovo Laptop with HD Password, then maybe some Truecrypt encryption. What are they going to do? Keep askng companies to make backdoors? It will never happen because third party tools will become available to protect privacy.

In today's day and age, things are going to be harder to uncover, just like in the days before we had fingerprints. If terrorists want their data encrypted, its going to be encrypted, nobody can stop that.

Who is to say Farook's phone is not jailbroken and encrypted with some third party tools that even Apple cannot fix. Its endless.
