Paradox of Development Activity by Samuel Zadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn en-us 2020-09-08 15:38:36 UTC 2020-10-27 18:01:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Part 1 srzadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866791570 Genetic Engineering: Possible riddance of genetic diseases, birth defects, etc.
Nanotech: Nano technology has many potential applications in a wide variety of fields. One example could be energy.
Robotics: With the introduction of AI, Robots are able to perform more tasks than ever before. This ingenuity will revolutionized the medical field, manufacturing, and more.]]> 2020-10-27 17:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866791570 Part 2 srzadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866816678 Genetic Engineering: There are a lot of ethical issues with Genetic Engineering. A sum of most of these issues the slippery slope argument which we have seen before. If we cure genetic diseases like down syndrome or birth defects like a clef lip, at what point do we draw the line for changing a child that hasn't even been born yet. Will parents be able to choose what attributes their child has? 
Nanotech: Nanotech has the ability to be extremely powerful. In the hands of the wrong person this technology could do a lot of harm. Another question is whether governments will allow the public to know what they know about nanotech, transparency. Finally there may be environmental impacts of nanotechnology.
Robotics: There is a joke (but is it really a joke) the AI will allow robots to take over the world. Although this is probably an exaggeration, robots still may go haywire and depending on the purpose or ability of specific robots, malfunction may result in harm to humans. An example may be a self driving car. A small issue in the code may result in death.]]> 2020-10-27 17:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866816678 Part 3 srzadel https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866895865 I am both optimistic and pessimistic about the future. These new advancements in technology can do so much good for the human race but if used the wrong way they can do more damage on a global scale than we have every seen in the past. For this reason it is hard to decide whether I am excited or fearful for the future technology that is sure to come.]]> 2020-10-27 17:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/srzadel/9ijro4nqw5gro8bn/wish/866895865
