The general argument made by Bill Joy in his work, “Why the future doesn’t need us”

is that Humans will eventually fuse with, or become dependent on, machines. He writes, “Humans clearly face extinction.”

 In this passage, Joy is suggesting that He agrees with the new views on our future that he has discovered.

In conclusion, Joy’s belief is that people who think this way are right.

 In my view, Joy is wrong/right, because the scenario he describes could very likely happen.

More specifically, I believe that this HAS to happen eventually, even if it takes centuries.

Although X might object to becoming artificial to live longer, I maintain that most people would take this option.



Therefore, I conclude that people will become dependent on machines.

Want to learn: What kind of futuristic devices are already a reality? Have any crimes recently been committed through advanced technology? Could human augmentation become a problem?
