| Prompt: What if a massive storm wipes out technology, thrusting society into a new dark age without electricity and internet? What would happen to you, then? Could you survive it? ------------ I guess I would survive it, but barely. As long as paper and pencil or pen would be available, but I bet during such a catastrophe, even those things would end up being luxury items. On the plus side, I'd go to bed as soon as it got dark outside and wake up as soon as the morning dawned, in which case, that could be an improvement. Yet, I'd miss the search engines, WdC, reading online or listening to books, not to mention my appliances and household items that work with electricity. Come to think of it, I can't imagine doing an entire laundry by hand. What I wouldn't miss would be the recent gauche handling of AI, by my email and internet company, Microsoft, and other companies that I deal with almost daily. I guess there wouldn't be phones anymore either, so no waiting on the phone for eternity for some agent from one company or another to answer, if only to put me on hold. Still, even though I carp a lot about people and companies mishandling AI, I think I am--just like most of us is--seriously addicted to technology. And I hope, in no time, whatever is making people deal wrongly with something so useful as technology can wear out, and people and businesses learn the most effective ways to deal with the technological advancements to make our lives better. |
