I am astonished when people who try to reach get offended and mad when they try to reach me and don’t understand that I don’t necessarily have my phone with me every minute and sometimes I don’t even check it for a whole weekend..
That’s my beef with all this tech - expectations of constant personal availability. BUT sadly without always being aware of it, I do it on my end as well due to everyone else playing into it!
As a 71 yr old man, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the world. What I see for the future is people becoming less and less connected with reality. I see people “working” yet actually doing nothing. Manual skills will be lost because no one will be left to teach them. A very few intelligent humans will be left to develop new technologies and new ideas. The majority of the civilized world will simply drift aimlessly in some artificial utopia. I’m glad I’m an old man. Don’t want to see that day.
It's amazing how many people, especially younger ones, are really useless! It is primarily the schools and the educational administration that has gone to the dump. You look at what's going on in society todays, and you think, "they've lost their marbles!" Only the God fearing will be of sound mind!!! Don't be deceived!!!
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. No computer. No smartphone. Black and white tv. Books. Playing outside. Riding bikes. Pick up baseball games. Summer Camp. No electronics other than transistor radios. Life was good.
Indeed it was better. My mother, (parents divorced) never worried about us kids. We were safe in our neighborhood. Other parents kept an eye out for us and we knew that if we acted up word would get back to my Mom and grounding from TV was about the worst thing that could happen to a 12 year old boy.
This also assumes you have the money to participate. Low-income people will be left out. AI will exclude them as not being of value to the marketing that supports this. Someone on social assistance will be excluded because they are socially undesirable.
Bravo, @Not Affiliated! I predict, as long as the video above is on the subject of prediction, is that there is a remnant, sane community of individuals who understand that Technology is to be used to help humanity be better at making the world a better place. Not overtake it and substitute for Real Life. That these communities of people who believe in a physical world will rise out of he ashes of this new future, and will survive to repopulate the Earth.
With much love, I beg to disagree both with you AND with @kathypaine6689. I think I understand where you come from but I dare say that this is the same attitude exhibited by people that still use horses for transportation or to work the farmland: the Amish from Pennsylvania. I have visited with them and I love them. However, they constitute nothing more than a curiosity at the present time BECAUSE we will never expect them to invent/discover the cure against cancer or develop the new technological invention that will help progress of knowledge of the Universe of which we are part. Aside from the extreme DANGER that certain post-modernist haters of humanity, I can't be more thankful for the invention of machines that not only save human labor but do so with the IMPLICIT (unfortunately, not explicit) intent of providing us, HUMANS, with the leisure time to pursue further our curiosity about the Universe itself, as well as the celebration of human life with even more beautiful expressions of Arts in all its forms. Funny story. As a child I loved the idea of horses (as I saw them depicted in Epic movies shown in my childhood movie theaters. I kept alive that love for horses (in the real flesh and bones) until I had a chance to visit a horse farm as an adult and realized that "horses" meant to clean away all their manure, to get rid of all the hey wet by their liquid discharges, it meant having to deal with pesky huge "horse" flies that gave bites worthy of a dog, etc. Soon, I was grateful to live in a clean, comfortable, air conditioned home that allowed me to "order" a movie online allowing me to see it when it was fit for me time wise. Technology in itself is not evil, just like a steak knife is not evil. What is evil is the uses to which we, humanity, put these new tools.
@@kathypaine6689 AI can never be unplugged because of the race to be assured one company or one nation cannot be destroyed by the superior AI advancement of another. The question will be if the AI Singularity will find use of the human species. Humans have destroyed the world's geography and climate and AI may decide the world is better of without humans. It will be impossible for to rise up out of the ashes. The Singularity will soon be 1000 times more intelligent. AGI has already been achieved. Singularity lurks within a decade.
@NotAffiliated Haha! I just got rid of my flip-phone because I wanted to text and face-time with distant family members. I doubt if I will ever use all of the features; but I also have a home computer. I also prefer to read and listen to music rather than to be on any sort of social media very much (even YT)
I wish we could just rewind time back to before smartphones. For myself, for my daughter and for the world she is having to grow up in. It is substantially worse in so many ways and really worries me.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
Today's smart phone is a mini computer. The problem isn't in the physical electronics that make up what a smartphone is - it's the personality of people using them. It has more to do with whether people are mature or not, of good character or not, are truly productive or not. Smartphones today are light years ahead of the entirety of computers that were aboard the Apollo 11 Space mission in 1969! In comparison your smartphone is a supercomputer in your pocket. They have revolutionized communications, entertainment, education, and productivity yet some of the lowest common denominators of society use them for criminal acts, pornography, trolling social media and even based political propaganda. The world has always had problems and will continue to as we evolve, hopefully as a better species, technology just advances everything, exposes more all the time by using the web. You're forgetting that medical science has cracked the code in the battle against cancer because of computer tech. Tech is what you make it akin to a library. You can choose all kinds of books based on fiction and nonfiction, history, science, medicine, business, on careers of every conceivable construct OR you can just read comic books. It's in your hands no matter what is out there.
My cellphone is nothing more than an answering machine! It sits on my desk and I check it from time to time! It DOESN'T interrupt my day constantly! It does not ring! If someone wants to speak with me they must leave a message! More to say but enough was said! Be Free!
Those who know how to log off and on at their free will will be the champions of the new world. That's what the boomers (Klaus and his crew) are betting on. That will be a superpower trust me, because most of the world would be hooked and addicted. The New Cocaine
Most of the people who proclaim the death of the smartphone are predicting ai assisants that you speak to. But if you look at what people like about smartphones, it's the ability to do things without speaking out loud.
@@casskidd1 I use Alexa to turn lights on and off. But for most of the things people use a smartphone for, people have shown that they like to do that quietly. In fact, I often open the alexa app to turn off the lights, so I don't have to shout at a lightswitch.
I just can't speak to anything that isn't a person..plus I don't like the idea of my voice being recorded. Smartphones are just so effortless to use but won't go on forever because they require so many precious resources. This civilisation we are in will eventually die like every other civilisation before and humanity will either survive or it won't but things will go downhill for a time before we can rebuild ourselves.
They are wrong on the selfie. We had selfies prior to the smart phones. It was called a camera 📸. Surprising to gen Y and Z it had a timer to set and you run to your spot before the camera snaps the photo
Sure, there was the rare image we would set you woild set a timer……but I equate ‘selfies’ with extreme selfishness! My young nieces, who love to visit me (but know nothing about me…..they don’t ask, listen ….or, sadly, care’.) will come to events at my house, forget to say hello to my husband, but spend hours in our gardens taking selfies, and their social media is absolutely full of images of themselves….looking like ‘them’……each image is a virtual clone of the next image, and they spend hours and hours in this self obsessed state. I have to laugh at all these ridiculous images of ‘me’ …. In Paris, ‘me’ at the beach……’me’ here, ‘me there…..but, you never see the here, there, the Paris the anywhere…..because the only bit they care about is the ‘me’! I hate to say it, but my own niece’s are cyborbs….I am so sad for them……:-(
@@annebaker9408 I’m so sorry to read this. It makes me sad for our youth, for our future…. for their future. What can be done? How can we redirect them to see something else and to share other things?
I love my cell phone. It’s a lot better than trying to find change for a pay phone or even finding a phone booth. But that’s about all I use it for, I’m 76.
"Wow! In the past they had a phonebooth on every corner" throws away cell phone "now I don't need to carry this stupid metal box around with me everywhere". Futurama.
Question: Could the expansion of AI into the Arts, whether music or movies, lead to a resurgence or increased appreciation of live performances. I may be old, 67, but I think even amatuer live performances in theatre and stage far outshine much of what is on offer today.
I think there will always be niche followers of this and it might even return as larger than a niche after a while. There's the popularity of vinyl records and turn tables, classes on the art of hand writing personal letters and sending by mail, and after a terrible "get big or get out" industrialization of farms, the smaller, local, hands-on farms have been returning.
AI cannot emulate the fine arts,they can try but there are no arts without humans ,in my opinion,Bach,Mozart,Da Vinci,Miguel Angelo,Shakespeare and all the contemporaries composers,dancers,singers,actors will remain,God help us if we loose the arts !
Hard to see beauty and love where it doesn’t exist. Eventually communities and governments need to coordinate or people will remain inward focused, because “reality” is awful.
yeah less nature means no breeding. who knew? literally god knows. cows reproduce for free. nerds think they will make lab meat for even slightly less. they're so dumb it's incredible.
How to disappear completely!? No smart phone, no modern TV set, no internet, and definitely no I'm home connected devices. I'm nearly there. Just gotta get rid of the phone. 💪
Good luck if you have to apply for something ...if you can't do it online, you really are out of the loop. And banking without an internet connection? Good luck.
The society that is being created is making it impossible to exist in that society without the technology. There is an actual life outside of digital technology that humans have existed in quite well for quite some time..
Be careful for what you wish for, and grateful for what you have because those things could also become obsolete in the future. When our lives become too convenient people lose their incentive to improve, and then what happens may not be pretty. Stay safe, stay free, love your friends and family. Always work hard and do your best every day, and you will find the secret to life.
Born way before mobile phones. They are very useful. But there are big social negatives. I am not saying this below because I am looking through rose colored glasses, I always thought this. I think life was better before they came. I resisted for many yrs owning my 1st 1 in 2013. Previously I had one for a security job and I could justify that one, was a dangerous job, when I left ph went a drawer, never to be used again. Before these devices we drove to someone to speak and vise versa. We were far more careful in remote areas always bringing items to survive if things went bad. I have lost that feeling of adventure even witb bad or no reception. I cannot exolain how I felt, maybe akin to a freedom? That is my honest opinion.
I'm 65 and still don't have a cell phone. Full disclosure I have a laptop but I don't carry it in my pocket and open it up every time I sit down. Life is still much easier without that phone.
You cannot stop "progress"...Every tech innovation has pros and cons, and criticisms from those born before the innovation (the printing press: "People will lose their memory functions since now you won't have to remember stories/info, etc. to tell others; it will be written down en masse") will just sound like luddites. As a non-native digital user, and part of the last generation alive that lived before AND after digital tech, my criticism doesn't really matter; once my generation is gone, digital tech will just be like the water enveloping the fish's world...
It's interesting how some people want to insist that the technology they grew up with or are used to is all the technology they need. They also forget or don't know how revolutionary their preferred technology was. "Before these devices we drove to someone to speak to them." Before that, you wrote a letter that maybe was delivered the same day, or not. And if you wanted to speak to someone, you had to walk to their home, or if higher on a social ladder, you rode a horse or had a carriage take you for a visit. The telephone itself revolutionized our ability to talk to people. Later, some feared that the breakup of Ma Bell would end all innovation in telephone technology. And people thought it ridiculous that you might buy a telephone instead of having the phone company install one or more phones in your home or office.
regarding the movie theatre: its the same as any other theatre be it movie, opera, a play etc.... its meant to be an experience to those who attend. yes, we do not talk during the production. but we experience it and talk about it both before and after. it IS socializing.
Seems to me, the threat is to people who are addicted to over sharing. I’ve never understood why people have to post pictures of themselves doing boring everyday things, so the whole world can see them. But I have even greater difficulty understanding why people look at them. If I don’t know you personally, why do I need to know what you ate for breakfast, or whether you enjoyed it? Why do I need to know what bus you used, or what bedlinen you like? It makes no sense to me. If I’m idle and I have no book to read, nor access to a tv/radio, I will watch some random UA-cam, to pass the time. I’ve never posted a video, whether a selfie or something I saw, and my Facebook has not been updated in over a decade. I don’t have any other social media accounts. This prediction will, if it comes to pass, affect me indirectly. But it could end up being a good thing. It will be easier for real life people, like me, to find and interact with each other.
100%, I agree. The obsession with ME, ME, ME is destructive. Life is enriched with input from others. Humanity will be quickly destroyed without relationship to others. If you are picking out how you want to have sex virtually, because all your choices come out good and satisfies your own narrow view of what brings you over the edge, there will be no human procreation. I got rid of Facebook within 3 months of first using it. It took away way too much of my time, to do the things I needed to do to heal people, to be in nature and feel the sun on my face, etc.... My God, what has happened to this current generation?
I remember i have this friend of mine who in the early 2012, we went to eat something and he takes pictures of our food. It seemed absurd to share that. I mean, he doesnt even cooked that or was like a big meal. Now i think we can share boring or some things like that, but casually. Sharing stories and our lives became excessive nowadays... i remember it was awful to me like maybe in 2016 when instagram and fb copied from SnapChat the "stories" thing
The problem I have with technology: New inventions used to be based on advancement for people in general, I.e. Motor car, TV, Manned flight, etc. Now, more than anything, it's the personal financial gain, damn the consequences. Don't come up with things 'because you can', but because we NEED them.
Is it just me, or is this "discovery" "me-centered"? Cut off everyone else, project me-me-me. Is that how interactions with others die? I already have difficulties with a wife who can't listen to me without making it about her. It's a living hell.
Right on. From your lips to the ears of others who understand the dangers of this new level of Tech. Let us band together and create islands of human physical communities to repopulate the Earth. It is horrifying to observe what the non-thinking new generations are being led to and told that it is good.
Girl: "Industries we rely on: social media." LOLZ Reality: No one relies on social media. People rely on oil and natural gas, electricity, telecom, electronics, specialty chemicals, water and waste water treatment, waste removal, lumber, and the like.
What do you do if your brain implant is no longer supported because the company went bankrupt and the app no longer runs on the latest version of Android?
People were smarter before cell phones on the computers( in a way ) they had to remember up to ten phone numbers etc.. for their friend's, neighbor's, family...no GPS ( just followed directions ) We had to remember spell correctly ( no spell checker ) no 911 ( just had cope with emergencies) till you could reach a phone. Also Had to interact with people like they have been doing for thousands of years ( imagine that )
i HATE everything he is saying. Going to a movie theater with people is interconnecting with humanity. "Families" don't do movies at home, they do movies - each in their own rooms. They don't even do dinner together. They each take their take out dinner bags to their own room and jump on the digital roller coaster. There is no "grounding" anymore. People are now more likely to live alone - not get married - and not build relationships. It's all instant gratification. If someone doesn't please you - you block their calls or access. There is NO working things out. We are loosing our HUMANITY.....
Praise God! Fight the new technology and band together with like minded friends. Educate your younger members of your family on where this is headed, extinction of the human race.
This is all very interesting. Born in the Analog world, still can find a book in the card catalog, but also embraced the digital world, was first wired to the net in '88. I love tech, thankful of how it's saved my life, and help made everything easier. Smart Phone, GPT, Computer always trying to stay on the cutting edge of knowledge, BUT, and this is a big buy as a prepper, I always can Scythe my hayfield, build a manual bailer with hammer, handsaw etc, and unplug in the woods and wildcraft. Balance is what is missing in most people's lives. Technology is a tool, use it to help enhance your life, if it's not doing that you are using the tool wrong. The free/ cheap education alone makes this tech so amazing. The library of Alexandra in our hands.
What is coming next will probably be a nightmare, everyone being coerced into becoming essentially a cyborg connected to the internet. Probably not able to recognise what your own thoughts/ emotions and which memories are real! All accomplished via a brain chip... thanks Mr Elon Musk!😢
Yes, I agree. It's a recipe for insanity. What is real and what is illusion is blurred. But I am a Luddite. Nearing 65 years old, when I was a teen and in college, we reveled in being with each other and the interaction was exciting because you couldn't predict what a person was going to say or do. It opened your mind to possibilities you wouldn't have thought of yourself. It was about having relationship to others, not with yourself only. Listening to your own wheels will drive you crazy. This new brave generation doesn't remember the Eagles.
I'm watching this on a Pentium II PC (1995). I don't have a smartphone or TV, just a rotary landline and transistor radio. Is there something I'm missing?
I see zombies, not cyborgs in the street. They are as oblivious to everything around them as a ‘spice’ user, while their faces have a curious blue luminescence. On pause. They may think wow! Critical Update! But it’s really not is it? It’s just aa state of suspended animation. I’m no expert on zombies or cyborgs mind, so make of that what you will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Covid experience shows that people want to get out and want to socialize. People were bored at home. The profits made in the outdoor sport industry, (hiking, hunting, back packing, fishing...) go against this notion. I do see technology taking place of other technology. I also evolution. The desktop computer to the laptop, to the notebook. There have been mergers from the phone (a communication device), personal assistant and the internet enabled notebook to create the smart phone. I don't see meta as what is next. Humans are tool user. Smart phones are tools. I don't see smart phones as an integration as far as cyborg augmentation. As a tool smart phones are still in that area of communication and information gathering. People can leave the room, and not go to the library and people through the covid experience still want to interact interpersonally to reaffirm reality. Interaction in a society or one on one is still a human need and the covid experience shows that.
This is not exciting this is terrifying. Personally I don’t use social media other than UA-cam comments. After work put your cell phone away. Delete all social media accounts but one and limit how often you use it.
I ran across your channel...I am amazed at the technology how it has changed in just 10 years...I will be waiting for your next post...new member here...keep up the great work...
Interesting. As someone who works in IT I have no interest in social media other than watching content on UA-cam and commenting. Other than that I do not post anything about myself so the concept of being selectively discoverable has no value to me.
I actually find I switch off my phone more and more since it feels like a electronic leash. And as media pushes various agendas I watch less and less so I could see a % of the population dumping phones and have some went back to flip phones. just because most are tired to tech dose not mean it cant be dumped as they see how they are manipulated by it
Since 2019, I stopped taking my iPhone with me when I go on my bicycle rides. I’ve had a few people act flabbergasted that am therefore unreachable for those two or three hours a couple times a week. I refuse to perceive this as my problem but rather a symptom of theirs.
I did that but then I got lost and now there are no people on the street to ask directions and I was scared so now I take my phone everywhere for the map
Hate to burst your bubble but I refuse to have Siri, Alexa or ANY of those in my house. They are INTRUSIVE. I prefer to THINK for myself. And I don't like using the cloud and only use it if my job requires it. I also PREFER to buy DVDs and CDs because I actually OWN them and am not dependent on whether or not if I have data or good reception. I might have a few digital movies but the number is small compared to the number of DVDs I own and with DVDs I don't have to worry about keeping an email with confirmations proving I bought them to Amazon after they try to delete my purchases. If this is your idea of the future then you can keep it and I'll go find a cave. If the grid ever fails come look me up for some survival skills.
Removing chores, attention span, behavioral sequence, neurons????? Neurons are NOT how we age. Telomeres in our DNA determine much of that. What this mad scientist is referring to is the stuff that makes us human and helps us. Chores= feeling of accomplishment.Attention span is needed for thinking/reasoning.Behavioral sequencing is your routine. You do not want something else controlling this!
Is there a community of online people who are against adopting these new technologies? I ask because I am very interested in joining or creating such a community. We would be like the digital Amish, refusing to adopt new technologies in favor of living a simpler, more rewarding life. I think it would take the support of a lot of people to establish and maintain such a "primitive" technological ecosystem, but I think it is totally doable. We would have to find other options to live alongside the technologically plugged in herd, so it would require a large enough group to maintain older technologies. Who else is interested?!
I am such a person but, by definition, you cannot reach me for I have zero social media accounts. The only reason I can communicate with you here is that UA-cam requires an account. But I am subscribed to no channels, so no notifications and no Patreon (or similar) ties either. I have always been on this fringe-level technologically and am happy to stay here. Forever.
Privacy is important to me, my phone is de=Googled, and I don't allow tracking via Wi-Fi. So my phone is essentially like a land line, my only vice is watching videos on my non smart TV/Monitor. We all need to disconnect, and be self-reliant..
Who controls the technology? Who profits from it? Technology is horrendously expensive to maintain, and it's becoming increasingly impossible to navigate without it. So many things you can do online ...excellent. But now there are so many things you MUST do online. Not so great. Frankly, we've lost the plot as a human race.
Wow!! I honestly haven’t really thought about this but it’s true… we move onto the next innovations without really taking the time to think about what it implies. I’m happy we’re having these discussions to best prepare ourselves for the future (and what’s already happening) in tech!!!

Timed exposure on an analogue camera is a selfie orientation. Been around awhile. Rembrandt in the 1600's used a mirror-system technology to draw and paint selfies. So, no, this is not new. Ever since Narcissus discovered the mystery of a self, we've toyed endlessly with our core fascination.
The problem with smart phones is, everyone has one. And they are taking too many pictures. So pictures themselves become meaningless. No one even appreciates pictures anymore, because the world is saturated with images.
The really terrifying thing about the future, with everyone needing a screen in order to exist among humans, is the possibility, even the inevitability, of George Orwell’s vision of the future, where Big Brother is not only watching you, but is directing you. This possibility is real, and we must plan and take action to avoid it, or we will lose everything that is truly individual. Then slavery will reign forever, and is that what we really want?
This guy seems so smart and so sure about so many things, and yet he is so wrong about so many of them. The Selfie was not invented a few years ago. People started taking pictures of themselves as soon as cameras were invented that had timers. If you include the idea of hiring a photographer to take the picture for you, the selfie has been around since the beginning of photography. If you include the idea of other forms of visual depiction, such as painting and sculpture, selfies have been around for thousands of years, tens of thousands if you include hand-outlines on cave walls that state the equivalent of "This is me, I was here once upon a time". The fax machine didn't come and go in our lifetimes. Not only is still in use in some places for some purposes, but it was invented in the mid 1800s using telegraph lines before most of our great-great-grandparents were alive. Telegraph is basically an early form of email or texting. Yes, people go to the theater to socialize. Sure, they don't want to hear other people talking and interrupting, but they want to hear them laugh and chuckle and cry. It reinforces social expectations for expression and roles in situations. It creates and/or promulgates culture and cultural expectations or subversions of it. Sometimes a friend lives far enough away that it's more convenient to meet in the middle and spend time watching entertainment at a theater, as well as eating out and shopping and playing at the arcade. Not eveyone wants to do everything at home with the people they're stuck at home with. And I'm not sure how people didn't see the smartphone coming. The job I had in the early-mid 2000s required me to have a cell phone, wireless Palm Pilot, camera, laptop and I knew and hoped and predicted that someday these would all be one single device, a small tablet, because electronic tablets had already been tried by Microsoft in 2002 and by Apple in the mid-90s (Newton). BTW, did he actually get around to saying what would replace smartphones?
WOW... My mind is completely BLOWN! Thank you for such an incredible and insightful interview. I am curious, as a storyteller, what the future of storytelling will be? I believe that people seek out entertainment, in order to escape... But also to empathize. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is becoming less and less empathetic. Do you believe there is a way to excite people enough change that trajectory and reignite that most important of human characteristics?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! As he said towards the end, I think how we seek pleasure in art/ beauty will change. The same way movies didn't even exist 150 years.. imagine what has yet to be discovered! If you could share this video with anyone you think would like it it would mean the world!!

As a generality, predicting the future is really a fool's errand. When trying to do so, we use the present to extrapolate what we think will be next; however, future innovations rarely can be predicted this way. Think back to what people thought the 21st century would be like; most got it wrong. I certainly never would've thought we'd be carrying around minicomputers in our pocket that could also make phone calls...
I also didn't think I would be able to communicate my thoughts to 35, 000 strangers about a video that potentially can be seen by millions of people, for all posterity....
I took selfies when i was a kid, I just had to wait for my mom to develop the film at the local drugstore.😆 BTW, that was way before before Walmarts were invented. 🥴🤣
I think there is a misconception about Apple “inventing” the smartphone. I was doing things on my Palm Treo 270, 600, 650, 680, phones that couldn’t be done on the first 4 versions of the iPhone before the iPhone launched, 700, 750 after launch . I was an Apple technician at the time. Palm OS, was the child of Newton OS, (another Apple product line) after being sold to what became known as Palm.
Incredible discussion. Glad that I found this gem. I"m going to cover these interviews on my podcast- profound predictions to explore! Thank you for this great work.

He supposes everyone will want to become Ruby Rhod from "The Fifth Element". Some will probably, but people are diverse. Also, the pendulum of fashion tends to swing. IRL might make a comeback. Already, people are starting to ignore AI product.
Mine just uses wifi hot spots. I don't pay anything. I use it for the clock and pino game...that's it. Well...occasionally I'll look at breaking news and something on UA-cam...but why pay money to have people bother me?
This is mostly BS. 3D was never mentioned. Story will always be everything in entertainment. Technology will always be secondary and not universally accepted.
Thats just it, why would or should we want to be like a programmed format similar to a CNN, or FOX news etc.. being so poised, polished to the point of artificiality that who you engage with feels no connection or substantive relation to you the sender of said content.. It ends up making us all like Meta zombies.. like where do I plug my brain into the AI so I can avoid life at all.. Too much to lose, not enough juice in that Tech idea worthy of the lemonade ! By the way selfies existed when cell phones had cameras, just like in the flip phone era..lol
NUERAL LINK we will be able to communicate basically by thought to anyone else with the implant, record our dreams,create our own artificial reality. Thought Police hear they come😮😢😅😂
I was talking to my husband, the A. I . tried to change my writing three times. I was writing about some polemic, negative issues to explain some facts, and the A.I. attempted to change the world or express something positive. And asked me if I really didn't want to accept the idea. I was talking about History, not to send a negative review. The machine tries to change my mind even if I try to write my negative thoughts about anything. It is not freedom. It happened in comments in a post, on Facebook, and in one email to my sister-in-law explaining one particular part of the History of Brazil. So, Google controls you.
How sad, that we have to make movies an at home only experience. I remember seeing any number of big blockbuster movies in the theater that gave me an experience that you just can't get at home. It's far more than your screen and your surround sound. It's the excitement of an opening night crowd anticipating the latest Star Wars movie. It's the kind of bond you feel with the rest of the audience as the movie provokes laughter, fear, surprise or wonder. I think it makes for a more immersive, escapist viewing experience. Yes of course we all enjoy movies at home and always will, but I feel sorry for future generations who will never have that in-theatre experience.
Totally assuming and making an ass out of himself and me. No sir, I will and looking forward to no Cell phone, no surveillance device. Incidentally there are some of us who do not use the pushed, non-private cloud storage. Have it turned off and never store anything on cloud period. We will find ways to communicate without cell phones.
👍🏽 Part II did NOT disappoint!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So informative, and intriguing. I wonder to what extent that there's a risk that the average person becomes even less and less interested in shaired experiences with others outside of their social circle/tribe? I mean, physically, in others' presence(?) .....You've never heard of an Atari computer Sinead? *Ugh*🤦🏽, feeling a little Old.🤣
First of all thank you so much for watching!! And your insightful comment. I think the main overarching goal with technology is less technology, more human to human. So the more tech fades into the background the better
This is double talk. It makes the guy feel self important but it doesn’t recognize the flexibility of the human mind and body and the advantage of invention for the present or future.
I am as old as the professor I think - and I will NEVER permit computerization to take over my life to that extent. I have Google home and it can set alarms and show me recipes - I have a droid that I use, and I do banking through it - but I cannot conceive of letting an app or a robot do my banking FOR me. I use security cameras on my buildings, but I wish I didn't have to, and I don't use them because I need to use the tech, I use them because I need to protect the buildings. I also cannot conceive willingly giving up social interaction, I thought I was going to just go mad during COVID. No, it is only meant to be an aid, if it becomes more than that I have no interest, and I know that my beloved, who is quite a bit younger than I am, also has no interest in going there. People matter SO much more.
Funny, I've always considered smartphones obsolete, because I like to keep computing and phoning separate. Why would I browse the internet when I'm in a beautiful park? Enjoy the nature. Internet is for when you're home and bored.
Wow almost sounds like big brother is now becoming digitalized. We don't need to have any of this stuff. it is funny the more convenience people have the less time they have for themselves or each other.
He has a few good points and I’m sure he is correct in concept for younger Generations, however he misses a few points about Social interaction which I don’t think he fully understands on a psychological level. Cinemas are a bout a Shared experience on a huge screen, seeing something for the first time with friends and strangers! When Black Panther came out I watched it in a full cinema and at the end 500 strangers all stood up and gave a standing ovation 👏 clapping and cheering over a great piece of cinematic escapism ! I can give other examples! We will have personal devices akin to smartphones for a long time to come! While there are Chip inventions, only idiots will trust this kind of technology to be implanted! Your guest also fails to realise the Evil being perpetuated by Governments and many global corporations and that People are waking up to all the evil. Slowly but it is happening.
when I take public transportation all I see is cyborgs staring at their tiny little screens these phones stifle human interaction and I do honestly believe that is just ONE of the reasons we have been made to believe that you must have a cell phone I don't and its great
I actually leave home without my iPhone and the Canadian government was tracking people using the phone so they thought I stayed home. People get upset that I am not attached to the phone.
Wonderful chat. When he spoke about being able to make and design our own movie reminds me of different reporting of dream investigation and drawing tech, and dream recorders being worked on.
We just got my 78 year old Mom a flip phone. She moved to a new senior building, and they no longer use landline phones. My poor Mom looked so sad because she had no idea how to use a cell phone. She likes the phone now and knows how to use it. But technology has to consider there is a senior population with disabilities etc. It's really sad how all this technology is taking over. I absolutely will not be using AI technology. I'm 46 years old and miss life before all this technology!
I am astonished when people who try to reach get offended and mad when they try to reach me and don’t understand that I don’t necessarily have my phone with me every minute and sometimes I don’t even check it for a whole weekend..
That’s my beef with all this tech - expectations of constant personal availability. BUT sadly without always being aware of it, I do it on my end as well due to everyone else playing into it!
I don't know where my phone is much of the time.
I purposely don’t have a job like that.
Most even take them into the toilet, I made use of phones off limits in my restaurants, by employees, they are filthy things if you think about it.
I get that. We have a landline and I take a cell with me when I go out. Sometimes, my phone is dead for 2 days because I forget to charge it.
As a 71 yr old man, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the world. What I see for the future is people becoming less and less connected with reality. I see people “working” yet actually doing nothing. Manual skills will be lost because no one will be left to teach them. A very few intelligent humans will be left to develop new technologies and new ideas. The majority of the civilized world will simply drift aimlessly in some artificial utopia.
I’m glad I’m an old man. Don’t want to see that day.
It's amazing how many people, especially younger ones, are really useless! It is primarily the schools and the educational administration that has gone to the dump. You look at what's going on in society todays, and you think, "they've lost their marbles!" Only the God fearing will be of sound mind!!! Don't be deceived!!!
and that has nothing to do with your smartghone
Well put!👍
I am seeing this now at work. It's already here
I can see it now. The world is not in a good place.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. No computer. No smartphone. Black and white tv. Books. Playing outside. Riding bikes. Pick up baseball games. Summer Camp. No electronics other than transistor radios. Life was good.
Indeed it was better. My mother, (parents divorced) never worried about us kids. We were safe in our neighborhood. Other parents kept an eye out for us and we knew that if we acted up word would get back to my Mom and grounding from TV was about the worst thing that could happen to a 12 year old boy.

Well you boomers should feel like fools then for making the world the way it is now
@kathleenking47 what, no 78? 😊
It's amazing to me how difficult it is to find anyone in tech that actually even comprehends the notion of privacy anymore. So sad.
They do know what privacy is! They just don't want anyone to have it.
This also assumes you have the money to participate. Low-income people will be left out. AI will exclude them as not being of value to the marketing that supports this. Someone on social assistance will be excluded because they are socially undesirable.
Scott McNealy, the CEO of Sun Microsystems back in the 90’s famously said “You have no privacy. Get over it”. Very prophetic statement back then.
@@BrainConduit123 well if that was correct back then......how much more now!

Bravo, @Not Affiliated! I predict, as long as the video above is on the subject of prediction, is that there is a remnant, sane community of individuals who understand that Technology is to be used to help humanity be better at making the world a better place. Not overtake it and substitute for Real Life. That these communities of people who believe in a physical world will rise out of he ashes of this new future, and will survive to repopulate the Earth.
With much love, I beg to disagree both with you AND with @kathypaine6689. I think I understand where you come from but I dare say that this is the same attitude exhibited by people that still use horses for transportation or to work the farmland: the Amish from Pennsylvania. I have visited with them and I love them. However, they constitute nothing more than a curiosity at the present time BECAUSE we will never expect them to invent/discover the cure against cancer or develop the new technological invention that will help progress of knowledge of the Universe of which we are part.
Aside from the extreme DANGER that certain post-modernist haters of humanity, I can't be more thankful for the invention of machines that not only save human labor but do so with the IMPLICIT (unfortunately, not explicit) intent of providing us, HUMANS, with the leisure time to pursue further our curiosity about the Universe itself, as well as the celebration of human life with even more beautiful expressions of Arts in all its forms.
Funny story. As a child I loved the idea of horses (as I saw them depicted in Epic movies shown in my childhood movie theaters. I kept alive that love for horses (in the real flesh and bones) until I had a chance to visit a horse farm as an adult and realized that "horses" meant to clean away all their manure, to get rid of all the hey wet by their liquid discharges, it meant having to deal with pesky huge "horse" flies that gave bites worthy of a dog, etc. Soon, I was grateful to live in a clean, comfortable, air conditioned home that allowed me to "order" a movie online allowing me to see it when it was fit for me time wise.
Technology in itself is not evil, just like a steak knife is not evil. What is evil is the uses to which we, humanity, put these new tools.
@@kathypaine6689 AI can never be unplugged because of the race to be assured one company or one nation cannot be destroyed by the superior AI advancement of another. The question will be if the AI Singularity will find use of the human species. Humans have destroyed the world's geography and climate and AI may decide the world is better of without humans. It will be impossible for to rise up out of the ashes. The Singularity will soon be 1000 times more intelligent. AGI has already been achieved. Singularity lurks within a decade.
@NotAffiliated
Haha! I just got rid of my flip-phone because I wanted to text and face-time with distant family members.
I doubt if I will ever use all of the features; but I also have a home computer. I also prefer to read and
listen to music rather than to be on any sort of social media very much (even YT)
I never had a flip phone either. I exist. Really. I have what used to be called "a life."
I wish we could just rewind time back to before smartphones. For myself, for my daughter and for the world she is having to grow up in. It is substantially worse in so many ways and really worries me.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

Today's smart phone is a mini computer. The problem isn't in the physical electronics that make up what a smartphone is - it's the personality of people using them. It has more to do with whether people are mature or not, of good character or not, are truly productive or not. Smartphones today are light years ahead of the entirety of computers that were aboard the Apollo 11 Space mission in 1969! In comparison your smartphone is a supercomputer in your pocket. They have revolutionized communications, entertainment, education, and productivity yet some of the lowest common denominators of society use them for criminal acts, pornography, trolling social media and even based political propaganda. The world has always had problems and will continue to as we evolve, hopefully as a better species, technology just advances everything, exposes more all the time by using the web. You're forgetting that medical science has cracked the code in the battle against cancer because of computer tech. Tech is what you make it akin to a library. You can choose all kinds of books based on fiction and nonfiction, history, science, medicine, business, on careers of every conceivable construct OR you can just read comic books. It's in your hands no matter what is out there.
I’m becoming obsolete so I just don’t care 😂 The future will go on without me 😅
Unless they bring you back. They did that to me. I guess I owed someone money.
My cellphone is nothing more than an answering machine! It sits on my desk and I check it from time to time! It DOESN'T interrupt my day constantly! It does not ring! If someone wants to speak with me they must leave a message! More to say but enough was said! Be Free!
❤ lovely... God bless you !
Those who know how to log off and on at their free will will be the champions of the new world. That's what the boomers (Klaus and his crew) are betting on. That will be a superpower trust me, because most of the world would be hooked and addicted. The New Cocaine
Most of the people who proclaim the death of the smartphone are predicting ai assisants that you speak to. But if you look at what people like about smartphones, it's the ability to do things without speaking out loud.
Elon Musk is working on brain implants. Sadly, that is where technology is heading. We are too lazy to even type now.
The idea that ai will make the smart phone obsolete is retarded. Like we are all going to want chips imbedded in our head. How stupid is that?
@@casskidd1 I use Alexa to turn lights on and off. But for most of the things people use a smartphone for, people have shown that they like to do that quietly. In fact, I often open the alexa app to turn off the lights, so I don't have to shout at a lightswitch.
I just can't speak to anything that isn't a person..plus I don't like the idea of my voice being recorded. Smartphones are just so effortless to use but won't go on forever because they require so many precious resources. This civilisation we are in will eventually die like every other civilisation before and humanity will either survive or it won't but things will go downhill for a time before we can rebuild ourselves.
They are wrong on the selfie. We had selfies prior to the smart phones. It was called a camera 📸. Surprising to gen Y and Z it had a timer to set and you run to your spot before the camera snaps the photo
before that were oil paintings. before that cave paintings. it's dumb.
There is a photograph taken by Prince with a camera as he pointed at the reflection of himself in a mirror. A SELFIE.
The first selfie was taken in 1839 by Robert Cornelius.
Sure, there was the rare image we would set you woild set a timer……but I equate ‘selfies’ with extreme selfishness! My young nieces, who love to visit me (but know nothing about me…..they don’t ask, listen ….or, sadly, care’.) will come to events at my house, forget to say hello to my husband, but spend hours in our gardens taking selfies, and their social media is absolutely full of images of themselves….looking like ‘them’……each image is a virtual clone of the next image, and they spend hours and hours in this self obsessed state.
I have to laugh at all these ridiculous images of ‘me’ …. In Paris, ‘me’ at the beach……’me’ here, ‘me there…..but, you never see the here, there, the Paris the anywhere…..because the only bit they care about is the ‘me’! I hate to say it, but my own niece’s are cyborbs….I am so sad for them……:-(
@@annebaker9408 I’m so sorry to read this. It makes me sad for our youth, for our future…. for their future. What can be done? How can we redirect them to see something else and to share other things?
There’s no damn way I’m going to use Siri or another device in my car or home that spies on me.
Pro-tip: UA-cam is spying on you right now.
You must not own a smart phone, computer or tv. We are just shy of a surveillance state.
Watch out for your car, newer ones are rather connected...
A fellow resistant here 😊
I love my cell phone. It’s a lot better than trying to find change for a pay phone or even finding a phone booth. But that’s about all I use it for, I’m 76.
You would not find a pay phone in NYC. There are only two, ‘just for show’, phone booths left.
"Wow! In the past they had a phonebooth on every corner" throws away cell phone "now I don't need to carry this stupid metal box around with me everywhere". Futurama.
Question: Could the expansion of AI into the Arts, whether music or movies, lead to a resurgence or increased appreciation of live performances. I may be old, 67, but I think even amatuer live performances in theatre and stage far outshine much of what is on offer today.
I think there will always be niche followers of this and it might even return as larger than a niche after a while. There's the popularity of vinyl records and turn tables, classes on the art of hand writing personal letters and sending by mail, and after a terrible "get big or get out" industrialization of farms, the smaller, local, hands-on farms have been returning.
AI cannot emulate the fine arts,they can try but there are no arts without humans ,in my opinion,Bach,Mozart,Da Vinci,Miguel Angelo,Shakespeare and all the contemporaries composers,dancers,singers,actors will remain,God help us if we loose the arts !
There can only be live performances if there are still people that have actual skills. People are getting dumber each day.
There are people who live self-obsessed, virtual lives, and those who live authentic lives filled with love, and focused on reality and others.
Yes, let us hope that those who live the authentic lives survive and repopulate the Earth.
wow, you are old-fashioned....
@@danielc1978 Yup, I'm as old-fashioned as reality, truth, ethics, and beauty.
Hard to see beauty and love where it doesn’t exist. Eventually communities and governments need to coordinate or people will remain inward focused, because “reality” is awful.
yeah less nature means no breeding. who knew? literally god knows. cows reproduce for free. nerds think they will make lab meat for even slightly less. they're so dumb it's incredible.
How to disappear completely!? No smart phone, no modern TV set, no internet, and definitely no I'm home connected devices. I'm nearly there. Just gotta get rid of the phone. 💪
Good luck if you have to apply for something ...if you can't do it online, you really are out of the loop. And banking without an internet connection? Good luck.
@@jannertfolWe all lived fine before this technology except things took a little longer. And we had privacy which we lost !
Sadly, your not really off the grid. Face recognition in the USA is almost complete. Humans can hide above ground. Only below.
The society that is being created is making it impossible to exist in that society without the technology. There is an actual life outside of digital technology that humans have existed in quite well for quite some time..
I can assure you that I exist without a smartphone. I have a smartphone, but I exist apart from it, and leave it at home quite often…
Be careful for what you wish for, and grateful for what you have
because those things could also become obsolete in the future.
When our lives become too convenient people lose their incentive
to improve, and then what happens may not be pretty.
Stay safe, stay free, love your friends and family.
Always work hard and do your best every day, and you will find
the secret to life.
Yes agreed, all you’ve said here.
Humans replaced with AI Humanoid robots.
Born way before mobile phones. They are very useful.
But there are big social negatives.
I am not saying this below because I am looking through rose colored glasses, I always thought this.
I think life was better before they came. I resisted for many yrs owning my 1st 1 in 2013.
Previously I had one for a security job and I could justify that one, was a dangerous job, when I left ph went a drawer, never to be used again.
Before these devices we drove to someone to speak and vise versa.
We were far more careful in remote areas always bringing items to survive if things went bad.
I have lost that feeling of adventure even witb bad or no reception.
I cannot exolain how I felt, maybe akin to a freedom?
That is my honest opinion.
I'm 65 and still don't have a cell phone. Full disclosure I have a laptop but I don't carry it in my pocket and open it up every time I sit down. Life is still much easier without that phone.
You cannot stop "progress"...Every tech innovation has pros and cons, and criticisms from those born before the innovation (the printing press: "People will lose their memory functions since now you won't have to remember stories/info, etc. to tell others; it will be written down en masse") will just sound like luddites.
As a non-native digital user, and part of the last generation alive that lived before AND after digital tech, my criticism doesn't really matter; once my generation is gone, digital tech will just be like the water enveloping the fish's world...
Got my first smart phone 2017. Never had a computer or laptop and still don't. I don't like relying on something that has serious flaws.
It's interesting how some people want to insist that the technology they grew up with or are used to is all the technology they need. They also forget or don't know how revolutionary their preferred technology was. "Before these devices we drove to someone to speak to them." Before that, you wrote a letter that maybe was delivered the same day, or not. And if you wanted to speak to someone, you had to walk to their home, or if higher on a social ladder, you rode a horse or had a carriage take you for a visit.
The telephone itself revolutionized our ability to talk to people. Later, some feared that the breakup of Ma Bell would end all innovation in telephone technology. And people thought it ridiculous that you might buy a telephone instead of having the phone company install one or more phones in your home or office.
Try to find a pay phone. It's a cell phone our stay home next to land line.
regarding the movie theatre: its the same as any other theatre be it movie, opera, a play etc.... its meant to be an experience to those who attend. yes, we do not talk during the production. but we experience it and talk about it both before and after. it IS socializing.
Seems to me, the threat is to people who are addicted to over sharing. I’ve never understood why people have to post pictures of themselves doing boring everyday things, so the whole world can see them. But I have even greater difficulty understanding why people look at them. If I don’t know you personally, why do I need to know what you ate for breakfast, or whether you enjoyed it? Why do I need to know what bus you used, or what bedlinen you like? It makes no sense to me.
If I’m idle and I have no book to read, nor access to a tv/radio, I will watch some random UA-cam, to pass the time. I’ve never posted a video, whether a selfie or something I saw, and my Facebook has not been updated in over a decade. I don’t have any other social media accounts.
This prediction will, if it comes to pass, affect me indirectly. But it could end up being a good thing. It will be easier for real life people, like me, to find and interact with each other.
100%, I agree. The obsession with ME, ME, ME is destructive. Life is enriched with input from others. Humanity will be quickly destroyed without relationship to others. If you are picking out how you want to have sex virtually, because all your choices come out good and satisfies your own narrow view of what brings you over the edge, there will be no human procreation. I got rid of Facebook within 3 months of first using it. It took away way too much of my time, to do the things I needed to do to heal people, to be in nature and feel the sun on my face, etc.... My God, what has happened to this current generation?
I remember i have this friend of mine who in the early 2012, we went to eat something and he takes pictures of our food. It seemed absurd to share that. I mean, he doesnt even cooked that or was like a big meal. Now i think we can share boring or some things like that, but casually. Sharing stories and our lives became excessive nowadays... i remember it was awful to me like maybe in 2016 when instagram and fb copied from SnapChat the "stories" thing
The problem I have with technology: New inventions used to be based on advancement for people in general, I.e. Motor car, TV, Manned flight, etc. Now, more than anything, it's the personal financial gain, damn the consequences. Don't come up with things 'because you can', but because we NEED them.
Companies aim to make money
Is it just me, or is this "discovery" "me-centered"? Cut off everyone else, project me-me-me. Is that how interactions with others die? I already have difficulties with a wife who can't listen to me without making it about her. It's a living hell.
Right on. From your lips to the ears of others who understand the dangers of this new level of Tech. Let us band together and create islands of human physical communities to repopulate the Earth. It is horrifying to observe what the non-thinking new generations are being led to and told that it is good.
I lived growing up in 80s I remember life very well without smart phones..I would be just fine without it all again
Girl: "Industries we rely on: social media." LOLZ
Reality: No one relies on social media. People rely on oil and natural gas, electricity, telecom, electronics, specialty chemicals, water and waste water treatment, waste removal, lumber, and the like.
What do you do if your brain implant is no longer supported because the company went bankrupt and the app no longer runs on the latest version of Android?
People were smarter before cell phones on the computers( in a way ) they had to remember up to ten phone numbers etc.. for their friend's, neighbor's, family...no GPS ( just followed directions ) We had to remember spell correctly ( no spell checker ) no 911 ( just had cope with emergencies) till you could reach a phone. Also Had to interact with people like they have been doing for thousands of years ( imagine that )
i HATE everything he is saying. Going to a movie theater with people is interconnecting with humanity. "Families" don't do movies at home, they do movies - each in their own rooms. They don't even do dinner together. They each take their take out dinner bags to their own room and jump on the digital roller coaster. There is no "grounding" anymore. People are now more likely to live alone - not get married - and not build relationships. It's all instant gratification. If someone doesn't please you - you block their calls or access. There is NO working things out. We are loosing our HUMANITY.....
🎯 That’s why they pulled Covid on the World. Control over Humanity 🌍
Yes, instant gratification
I'm literally within 10 feet of a dial telephone, fax machine and an Atari 600XL computer.
Praise God! Fight the new technology and band together with like minded friends. Educate your younger members of your family on where this is headed, extinction of the human race.
This is all very interesting. Born in the Analog world, still can find a book in the card catalog, but also embraced the digital world, was first wired to the net in '88. I love tech, thankful of how it's saved my life, and help made everything easier. Smart Phone, GPT, Computer always trying to stay on the cutting edge of knowledge, BUT, and this is a big buy as a prepper, I always can Scythe my hayfield, build a manual bailer with hammer, handsaw etc, and unplug in the woods and wildcraft. Balance is what is missing in most people's lives. Technology is a tool, use it to help enhance your life, if it's not doing that you are using the tool wrong. The free/ cheap education alone makes this tech so amazing. The library of Alexandra in our hands.
What is coming next will probably be a nightmare, everyone being coerced into becoming essentially a cyborg connected to the internet. Probably not able to recognise what your own thoughts/ emotions and which memories are real! All accomplished via a brain chip... thanks Mr Elon Musk!😢
Yes, I agree. It's a recipe for insanity. What is real and what is illusion is blurred. But I am a Luddite. Nearing 65 years old, when I was a teen and in college, we reveled in being with each other and the interaction was exciting because you couldn't predict what a person was going to say or do. It opened your mind to possibilities you wouldn't have thought of yourself. It was about having relationship to others, not with yourself only. Listening to your own wheels will drive you crazy. This new brave generation doesn't remember the Eagles.
I'm nearly 65 too, our generation witnessed the biggest so called technological progress in history, but unfortunately most of it not for the better.
@@petermilburn1214 Right on, brother! There was a diabolical plan behind all this, and no questioning of the ethics by those undergoing it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Human kind does not need any phone to exist in this world. It is the level of convenience they are speaking about.
The Covid experience shows that people want to get out and want to socialize. People were bored at home. The profits made in the outdoor sport industry, (hiking, hunting, back packing, fishing...) go against this notion. I do see technology taking place of other technology. I also evolution. The desktop computer to the laptop, to the notebook. There have been mergers from the phone (a communication device), personal assistant and the internet enabled notebook to create the smart phone. I don't see meta as what is next. Humans are tool user. Smart phones are tools. I don't see smart phones as an integration as far as cyborg augmentation. As a tool smart phones are still in that area of communication and information gathering. People can leave the room, and not go to the library and people through the covid experience still want to interact interpersonally to reaffirm reality. Interaction in a society or one on one is still a human need and the covid experience shows that.
This is not exciting this is terrifying. Personally I don’t use social media other than UA-cam comments. After work put your cell phone away. Delete all social media accounts but one and limit how often you use it.
Let us band together and make islands of sanity as an alternative to this Brave New World.
I ran across your channel...I am amazed at the technology how it has changed in just 10 years...I will be waiting for your next post...new member here...keep up the great work...
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Happy to have you in this community
Interesting. As someone who works in IT I have no interest in social media other than watching content on UA-cam and commenting. Other than that I do not post anything about myself so the concept of being selectively discoverable has no value to me.
Ai should be banned
I actually find I switch off my phone more and more since it feels like a electronic leash. And as media pushes various agendas I watch less and less so I could see a % of the population dumping phones and have some went back to flip phones. just because most are tired to tech dose not mean it cant be dumped as they see how they are manipulated by it
Nowadays you don't buy a phone but a very expensive camera
Since 2019, I stopped taking my iPhone with me when I go on my bicycle rides. I’ve had a few people act flabbergasted that am therefore unreachable for those two or three hours a couple times a week. I refuse to perceive this as my problem but rather a symptom of theirs.
I like to walk away from my phone, leave it in the truck etc. Sometimes it's not doable but I like to think my thoughts, talk to people etc.
When I’m done working I leave my phone at home no matter what no exception
I did that but then I got lost and now there are no people on the street to ask directions and I was scared so now I take my phone everywhere for the map
@@jillybe1873 I live in the country so not as much danger. Exercise your second amendment.
I liked the Borg on Star Trek. I don't want to be one. :-(
(Borg is Always Connected 24/7 and with a Hive Mind.)
It drives people crazy when I tell then that I do not text.
Hate to burst your bubble but I refuse to have Siri, Alexa or ANY of those in my house. They are INTRUSIVE. I prefer to THINK for myself. And I don't like using the cloud and only use it if my job requires it. I also PREFER to buy DVDs and CDs because I actually OWN them and am not dependent on whether or not if I have data or good reception. I might have a few digital movies but the number is small compared to the number of DVDs I own and with DVDs I don't have to worry about keeping an email with confirmations proving I bought them to Amazon after they try to delete my purchases. If this is your idea of the future then you can keep it and I'll go find a cave. If the grid ever fails come look me up for some survival skills.
i'm all for smartphones becoming obsolete , excited for what's next
Thank you for watching !
what are you excited for? you dont know what they are thinking of replacingnit.
You want a computer chip implanted in your brain? Are you crazy?
Implanted tech?
relax , something wearable@@PolishBehemoth
Boring and Creepy. I may as well watch Fox News
Removing chores, attention span, behavioral sequence, neurons????? Neurons are NOT how we age. Telomeres in our DNA determine much of that. What this mad scientist is referring to is the stuff that makes us human and helps us. Chores= feeling of accomplishment.Attention span is needed for thinking/reasoning.Behavioral sequencing is your routine. You do not want something else controlling this!
Caution! Those that write the code will own the ai social media.
Is there a community of online people who are against adopting these new technologies? I ask because I am very interested in joining or creating such a community. We would be like the digital Amish, refusing to adopt new technologies in favor of living a simpler, more rewarding life. I think it would take the support of a lot of people to establish and maintain such a "primitive" technological ecosystem, but I think it is totally doable. We would have to find other options to live alongside the technologically plugged in herd, so it would require a large enough group to maintain older technologies. Who else is interested?!
I am such a person but, by definition, you cannot reach me for I have zero social media accounts. The only reason I can communicate with you here is that UA-cam requires an account. But I am subscribed to no channels, so no notifications and no Patreon (or similar) ties either. I have always been on this fringe-level technologically and am happy to stay here. Forever.
I like your idea. A lot. How to make it happen is the next step.
An online group of people who want to be offline... hmmm.
@@the3sounds I know, I know. It's a conundrum. How does one organize such a group, through the postal service?
@@h0lezee Town Hall or Church Notice Board? ha ha
We need a parallel communication method... Pidgeon?
Privacy is important to me, my phone is de=Googled, and I don't allow tracking via Wi-Fi. So my phone is essentially like a land line, my only vice is watching videos on my non smart TV/Monitor. We all need to disconnect, and be self-reliant..
Who controls the technology? Who profits from it? Technology is horrendously expensive to maintain, and it's becoming increasingly impossible to navigate without it. So many things you can do online ...excellent. But now there are so many things you MUST do online. Not so great. Frankly, we've lost the plot as a human race.
Wow!! I honestly haven’t really thought about this but it’s true… we move onto the next innovations without really taking the time to think about what it implies. I’m happy we’re having these discussions to best prepare ourselves for the future (and what’s already happening) in tech!!!
you mean next phase of Humanity Genocide via Digital Slavery

The only problem is Netflix produces crap movies and TV shows!
I actually ended my subscription almost a year ago.
Timed exposure on an analogue camera is a selfie orientation. Been around awhile. Rembrandt in the 1600's used a mirror-system technology to draw and paint selfies. So, no, this is not new. Ever since Narcissus discovered the mystery of a self, we've toyed endlessly with our core fascination.
True, but the thing about today's selfies is that they are circulated as they are taken - Now! They display the moment!
The problem with smart phones is, everyone has one. And they are taking too many pictures. So pictures themselves become meaningless. No one even appreciates pictures anymore, because the world is saturated with images.
The really terrifying thing about the future, with everyone needing a screen in order to exist among humans, is the possibility, even the inevitability, of George Orwell’s vision of the future, where Big Brother is not only watching you, but is directing you. This possibility is real, and we must plan and take action to avoid it, or we will lose everything that is truly individual. Then slavery will reign forever, and is that what we really want?
This guy seems so smart and so sure about so many things, and yet he is so wrong about so many of them.
The Selfie was not invented a few years ago. People started taking pictures of themselves as soon as cameras were invented that had timers. If you include the idea of hiring a photographer to take the picture for you, the selfie has been around since the beginning of photography. If you include the idea of other forms of visual depiction, such as painting and sculpture, selfies have been around for thousands of years, tens of thousands if you include hand-outlines on cave walls that state the equivalent of "This is me, I was here once upon a time".
The fax machine didn't come and go in our lifetimes. Not only is still in use in some places for some purposes, but it was invented in the mid 1800s using telegraph lines before most of our great-great-grandparents were alive. Telegraph is basically an early form of email or texting.
Yes, people go to the theater to socialize. Sure, they don't want to hear other people talking and interrupting, but they want to hear them laugh and chuckle and cry. It reinforces social expectations for expression and roles in situations. It creates and/or promulgates culture and cultural expectations or subversions of it. Sometimes a friend lives far enough away that it's more convenient to meet in the middle and spend time watching entertainment at a theater, as well as eating out and shopping and playing at the arcade. Not eveyone wants to do everything at home with the people they're stuck at home with.
And I'm not sure how people didn't see the smartphone coming. The job I had in the early-mid 2000s required me to have a cell phone, wireless Palm Pilot, camera, laptop and I knew and hoped and predicted that someday these would all be one single device, a small tablet, because electronic tablets had already been tried by Microsoft in 2002 and by Apple in the mid-90s (Newton).
BTW, did he actually get around to saying what would replace smartphones?
I totally agree! I also saw the "smartphone" coming a few years ahead. It was so obvious!
Someone said that the Star Trek HoloDeck would be the last human invention because it would complete the link between our imaginations and reality.
We're already living in a holodeck!
And feelings will be obsolete.
Technology is nice until you get fed up and find a life.
Once a deadly asteriod hit us, that will be the end of SMARTPHONE
Yeah, just check out what happened with the dinosaurs.
WOW... My mind is completely BLOWN! Thank you for such an incredible and insightful interview. I am curious, as a storyteller, what the future of storytelling will be? I believe that people seek out entertainment, in order to escape... But also to empathize. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is becoming less and less empathetic. Do you believe there is a way to excite people enough change that trajectory and reignite that most important of human characteristics?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! As he said towards the end, I think how we seek pleasure in art/ beauty will change. The same way movies didn't even exist 150 years.. imagine what has yet to be discovered! If you could share this video with anyone you think would like it it would mean the world!!
Sharing, Sharing Sharing! Thank you for all you do@@sineadbovell9699
LOL

As a generality, predicting the future is really a fool's errand. When trying to do so, we use the present to extrapolate what we think will be next; however, future innovations rarely can be predicted this way. Think back to what people thought the 21st century would be like; most got it wrong. I certainly never would've thought we'd be carrying around minicomputers in our pocket that could also make phone calls...
I also didn't think I would be able to communicate my thoughts to 35, 000 strangers about a video that potentially can be seen by millions of people, for all posterity....
I took selfies when i was a kid, I just had to wait for my mom to develop the film at the local drugstore.😆 BTW, that was way before before Walmarts were invented. 🥴🤣
I think there is a misconception about Apple “inventing” the smartphone. I was doing things on my Palm Treo 270, 600, 650, 680, phones that couldn’t be done on the first 4 versions of the iPhone before the iPhone launched, 700, 750 after launch . I was an Apple technician at the time. Palm OS, was the child of Newton OS, (another Apple product line) after being sold to what became known as Palm.
Incredible discussion. Glad that I found this gem. I"m going to cover these interviews on my podcast- profound predictions to explore! Thank you for this great work.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! Feel free to share it will anyone you think would enjoy it!

He supposes everyone will want to become Ruby Rhod from "The Fifth Element". Some will probably, but people are diverse. Also, the pendulum of fashion tends to swing. IRL might make a comeback. Already, people are starting to ignore AI product.
Mine just uses wifi hot spots. I don't pay anything. I use it for the clock and pino game...that's it. Well...occasionally I'll look at breaking news and something on UA-cam...but why pay money to have people bother me?
You can have the technology its the worst technology invented. Ridiculous costs, poor security, lacklustre information.
This is mostly BS. 3D was never mentioned. Story will always be everything in entertainment. Technology will always be secondary and not universally accepted.
Thats just it, why would or should we want to be like a programmed format similar to a CNN, or FOX news etc.. being so poised, polished to the point of artificiality that who you engage with feels no connection or substantive relation to you the sender of said content.. It ends up making us all like Meta zombies.. like where do I plug my brain into the AI so I can avoid life at all.. Too much to lose, not enough juice in that Tech idea worthy of the lemonade ! By the way selfies existed when cell phones had cameras, just like in the flip phone era..lol
NUERAL LINK we will be able to communicate basically by thought to anyone else with the implant, record our dreams,create our own artificial reality. Thought Police hear they come😮😢😅😂
I was talking to my husband, the A. I . tried to change my writing three times. I was writing about some polemic, negative issues to explain some facts, and the A.I. attempted to change the world or express something positive. And asked me if I really didn't want to accept the idea. I was talking about History, not to send a negative review. The machine tries to change my mind even if I try to write my negative thoughts about anything. It is not freedom. It happened in comments in a post, on Facebook, and in one email to my sister-in-law explaining one particular part of the History of Brazil. So, Google controls you.
How sad, that we have to make movies an at home only experience. I remember seeing any number of big blockbuster movies in the theater that gave me an experience that you just can't get at home. It's far more than your screen and your surround sound. It's the excitement of an opening night crowd anticipating the latest Star Wars movie. It's the kind of bond you feel with the rest of the audience as the movie provokes laughter, fear, surprise or wonder. I think it makes for a more immersive, escapist viewing experience.
Yes of course we all enjoy movies at home and always will, but I feel sorry for future generations who will never have that in-theatre experience.
Totally assuming and making an ass out of himself and me. No sir, I will and looking forward to no Cell phone, no surveillance device. Incidentally there are some of us who do not use the pushed, non-private cloud storage. Have it turned off and never store anything on cloud period. We will find ways to communicate without cell phones.
This is the worst argument ever... you are already zombies so let's make everyone more zombie-like 🤦♀️🙄😒
👍🏽 Part II did NOT disappoint!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So informative, and intriguing. I wonder to what extent that there's a risk that the average person becomes even less and less interested in shaired experiences with others outside of their social circle/tribe? I mean, physically, in others' presence(?)
.....You've never heard of an Atari computer Sinead? *Ugh*🤦🏽, feeling a little Old.🤣
First of all thank you so much for watching!! And your insightful comment. I think the main overarching goal with technology is less technology, more human to human. So the more tech fades into the background the better
Ahh, ok. That would be great. Thanks.
This is double talk. It makes the guy feel self important but it doesn’t recognize the flexibility of the human mind and body and the advantage of invention for the present or future.
I am as old as the professor I think - and I will NEVER permit computerization to take over my life to that extent. I have Google home and it can set alarms and show me recipes - I have a droid that I use, and I do banking through it - but I cannot conceive of letting an app or a robot do my banking FOR me. I use security cameras on my buildings, but I wish I didn't have to, and I don't use them because I need to use the tech, I use them because I need to protect the buildings. I also cannot conceive willingly giving up social interaction, I thought I was going to just go mad during COVID. No, it is only meant to be an aid, if it becomes more than that I have no interest, and I know that my beloved, who is quite a bit younger than I am, also has no interest in going there. People matter SO much more.
I did not have a cell phone until I was 28. I would rather have my Nokia bar phone back.
If it was not needed for working id probably not have one! Theyre so distracting of natural things!
Funny, I've always considered smartphones obsolete, because I like to keep computing and phoning separate. Why would I browse the internet when I'm in a beautiful park? Enjoy the nature. Internet is for when you're home and bored.
Wow almost sounds like big brother is now becoming digitalized. We don't need to have any of this stuff. it is funny the more convenience people have the less time they have for themselves or each other.
That is not cyborg. Anyone can leave their phone behind. It might be inconvenient but you will survive.
I do exist WITHOUT a phone In fact I rarely carry one My life is fine without the phone
He has a few good points and I’m sure he is correct in concept for younger Generations, however he misses a few points about Social interaction which I don’t think he fully understands on a psychological level. Cinemas are a bout a Shared experience on a huge screen, seeing something for the first time with friends and strangers!
When Black Panther came out I watched it in a full cinema and at the end 500 strangers all stood up and gave a standing ovation 👏 clapping and cheering over a great piece of cinematic escapism ! I can give other examples!
We will have personal devices akin to smartphones for a long time to come! While there are Chip inventions, only idiots will trust this kind of technology to be implanted!
Your guest also fails to realise the Evil being perpetuated by Governments and many global corporations and that People are waking up to all the evil. Slowly but it is happening.
Why are so many people complaining about technology when they're watching this video on their computer or smartphone over the internet?
With AI mankind is giving the keys to all our future to the unknown, how dumb can one get!
I long for an EMP that Fry's every microchip on the planet.
I can live without tech.
when I take public transportation all I see is cyborgs staring at their tiny little screens
these phones stifle human interaction and I do honestly believe that is just ONE of the reasons we have been made to believe that you must have a cell phone
I don't and its great
The smart phone will evolve like anything else but it sure as hell won’t become obsolete. We’ll always have some form of data link for communication.
I actually leave home without my iPhone and the Canadian government was tracking people using the phone so they thought I stayed home. People get upset that I am not attached to the phone.
I thought Canada was a good Place free from Gvt tracing its citizens. / Paul from Sweden - born free - taxed to Death - but free and happy (so far)
I often leave my phone home. Its really great for navigation but its annoying to always be available to anyone calling.
I waited to find out what is going to replace the smartphone, but I guess you guys dont know.
I still use a landline phone, works just fine! And seriously cheaper.
Wonderful chat. When he spoke about being able to make and design our own movie reminds me of different reporting of dream investigation and drawing tech, and dream recorders being worked on.
Think im moving to the woods. You can keep your pretend world.
i only use my smartphone to call and text, i would never do bank transactions or go on the internet with a smartphone
we just need to unplug.
If you can't exist without a phone, then you aren't even human anymore.
Pure lunacy...
Amen. Who doesn't see the logic in this. It's scary because the bulk of the new generation of adults don't see it.
This is a terribly beak vision of the future. Sounds terrible.
Flip phones are the future.
Let's hope so. Make the insanity end.
We just got my 78 year old Mom a flip phone. She moved to a new senior building, and they no longer use landline phones. My poor Mom looked so sad because she had no idea how to use a cell phone. She likes the phone now and knows how to use it. But technology has to consider there is a senior population with disabilities etc. It's really sad how all this technology is taking over. I absolutely will not be using AI technology. I'm 46 years old and miss life before all this technology!
Doesn’t work for young people that are not developed completely as an adult. Older people use technology better because they are set in their ways 😮
