Response to Kevin Kelly!

Its almost scary to think about the think about the future of technology as predicted by Kevin Kelly. It almost seemed impossible at first, to believe what he was saying at first, but he gave a good point in arguing that 15 years ago believing what exists now could never be possible. To imagine a world where everything is connected to everything else does in fact "sound" frightening indeed, but I personally fear that we will grow to need the internet, and function very poorly without it. In a world where street lights know how many people are waiting to cross through, and an ice cream machine knowing which flavor to give, it seems people will become dull, even less intellectual as opposed to popular beliefs. It is true that we are learning all the time, but who is to say that once the "one machine" Kelly talks about is created, that we wont just live out our days allowing the computer to do everything for us? This "one machine" raises eyebrows to say the least, but, while such a world may seem like a utopia for a while, its only a matter of time before it crumbles before us.
