WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
PART ONE: “THE QUESTIONS”
?
![Page 2: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
TECHNOLOGYWhat does that word mean to you?Remember your answer to that questionBecause it may be about to change
![Page 3: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TECHNOLOGY TO DO FOR YOU?
OR TO YOU?
![Page 4: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
As we define the role technology will play in our lives, we cannot ignore the polarizing effect
it is already responsible for.
Shouldn’t it be shrinking?
The gap between the technically literate and illiterate is growing
![Page 5: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
And Most Importantly
How come we STILL don’t have personal jetpacks?

WELCOME TOTHE MACHINE
![Page 7: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THINGS TO CONSIDER
Computers and the internet have combined to create the most powerful communication tool in history.
We now have the ability to communicate with the world at previously unheard of or imagined ease and speed
![Page 8: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Yet everyday we become more and more isolated…
![Page 9: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ARE WE COMING TOGETHER?ARE WE COMMUNICATING?
![Page 10: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
With all our time-saving technology
It seems like we are more hurried than ever
![Page 11: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Technology has cultivated genius ….
Never before have so many been empowered to contribute to mankind’s
collective head…
![Page 12: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Yet never before has that collective head….
Been so far up our collective backside……
![Page 13: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Millions of people place the most intimatedetails of their lives online…
forming “virtual global communities”
![Page 14: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
But they have no idea who or what lives next door….
![Page 15: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Online chat rooms are booming..
People spend hour after hour endlessly chatting with a “cyber friend”….
![Page 16: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Then go to sleep with their back to the one they love….
nothing to say……
![Page 17: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Then try listening for a change…
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
![Page 18: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Very soon being technically illiteratewill carry the same stigma and
handicaps that not being able to read holds today…THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT
![Page 19: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The percentage of people who are
unable to functionally read and write is tragic…
and growing…
The Question Nobody Wants to Ask :
What happens when these people are joined
by the “technically illiterate” trying to secure
employment in a shrinking number of unskilled
labor positions????
![Page 20: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You wont need the machine to answer that question
you will be able to ask your daughters new fiancé..
![Page 21: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Many feel that with things like nano-technologythe machine will have the ability to extend our lives for hundreds or even thousands of years.
What will we do with all the people???
![Page 22: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
technology can solve that problem for us as well
![Page 23: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The machine is not our friend
The machine IS:
The machine is not our enemy
A fact of life that requires your attention
![Page 24: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There will always be exceptions…but it is becoming clear that society Is
breaking down into two classes of people
You are either one of those who runs the machine….
or one of those the machine runs over..
![Page 25: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
PART TWO: “THE ANSWERS”
JUST HOW SCREWED ARE YOU?
![Page 26: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Technology is in it’s infancy...none of us will be around to see it mature completely.
Like all things, the mature technology will be a reflection of the
way it is allowed to develop in its formative years.
![Page 27: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So in addition to adapting tothe changes technology promises
We are also responsible for making sure that those who come after us will
not have to deal the changes technology threatens.
![Page 28: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
So while the effects technology will bring to the workplace is our focus
today….
It is vital that you be an educated, active voice in the debate technology
will surely bring us tomorrow
![Page 29: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Get educated today so that you can stay employable and competitive.
Almost every industry on the planet is going through the same rapid technological changes
we are facing in radio
If a component of any industry or an entire industry itself does not, or cannot change
and adapt it is quickly being replaced
This is surprising nobody, everybody is awarethis is happening all around them…
Don’t bury your head in the sand and try to convince yourself that the same thing does not
apply to your job
![Page 30: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
AND EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT
![Page 31: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Get educated so tomorrow you can participate in possibly the most important
dialogue in the history of mankind
The machine has brought with it all the earmarksAnd potential of an elitist society
If common people do not stay informed and educated, the decisions that control our lives
will be made in laboratories, at universities and in private government meetings
When common people lose touch with the ideas and philosophies that make up the framework of our lives we are no longer people. We become parts of the machine
![Page 32: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Technology can bring us many blessings and things we cannot even imagine today. If we
cannot meet our responsibility to stay educated we may very possibly surrender things like
humanity compassion
God
liberty
![Page 33: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Nothing is worth that…
Not even personal jetpacks…
![Page 34: How Screwed Are You - Technology and the Future](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555aa03bd8b42a3e268b503f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TECHNOLOGYWhat does that word mean to you?Remember your answer to that questionBecause it may be about to change
