We as society should focus on more information that is GPS
location based. It has some potential
for abuse, but the benefits outweigh the risks.
Information that is GPS location based can be very beneficial to the
user. It can provide real time alerts in
dangerous circumstances that could be potentially life saving. Also information like nearby taxis or
detailed weather reports that can help users plan when to spend time
outdoors. Also, perhaps, it could alert
the user when they are nearby to a friend.
If a person feels that their device is being used to invade their
privacy, they do not have to bring it with them everywhere they go or stop
using the device. On the other hand, law
enforcement can use this new platform to catch criminals. Don’t get me wrong, it is disturbing that the
website google dot com has recently begun collecting internet browsing
information about the users.
There are several things we can do to manage the
technology. We need to stay aware of
privacy policy of the devices and websites that we are using. It is important to have a balanced healthy
life which will be tested as technology engulfs more of our lives. It would help if society valued exercise a
bit more. Of course technology has the
potential to provide accurate information for users that want to be more
healthy.
It could be great for researchers to investigate any
potential problems of technology from a psychological point of view like what
is a healthy amount of time to spend with technology. Also, they can help us answer the question:
what is the future of human technology interaction? There are many exciting possibilities like prosthetic
eye to treat blindness and brain interface devices.
I enjoyed the glass video and can see that many of the new
technological advanced can be very beneficial to users. I especially liked the possibility of
watching a cooking video while cooking.
Although not mentioned in this video, I welcome the possibility of autonomous
vehicles. There is no need for a
driver. All of the passengers now have
time to do anything imaginable, read, write, and use more technology. If a user needs a ride, the car can drive without a driver to their location using GPS technology.
