Technology Vs. Humanity
By:Gerd Leonhard
Published on 2016-09-06 by
Futurist Gerd Leonhard breaks new ground again by bringing together mankind's urge to upgrade and automate everything-down to human biology itself-with our timeless quest for freedom and happiness. Before it's too late, we must stop and ask the big questions: How do we embrace technology without becoming it? When it happens-gradually, then suddenly-the machine era will create the greatest watershed in human life on Earth. Technology vs. Humanity is one of the last moral maps we'll get as humanity enters the Jurassic Park of Big Tech. Artificial intelligence. Cognitive computing. The Singularity. Digital obesity. Printed food. The Internet of Things. The death of privacy. The end of work-as-we-know-it, and radical longevity: The imminent clash between technology and humanity is already rushing towards us. What moral values are you prepared to stand up for-before being human alters its meaning forever? Gerd Leonhard is a new kind of futurist schooled in the humanities as much as in technology. In his most provocative book to date, he explores the exponential changes swamping our societies, providing rich insights and deep wisdom for business leaders, professionals and anyone with decisions to make in this new era. If you take being human for granted, press Reset now with this passionately argued call to create a genuinely braver new world.

Do not you kind of hate how we have joined the decadent stage of Goodreads when possibly fifty per cent (or more) of the reviews compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now naked and unabashed in their variously successful efforts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you type of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were uniformly plainspoke Do not you type of hate how we've joined the decadent period of Goodreads wherein possibly fifty percent (or more) of the reviews published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually naked and unabashed inside their variously efficient efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were evenly plainspoken, simply effective, unpretentious, and -- most importantly otherwise -- boring, boring, dull? Don't you type of hate when persons claim'do not you think in this manner or feel like that'in an attempt to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically in to accepting using them? In the language of ABBA: I do, I actually do, I do(, I really do, I do). Effectively, as the interwebs is a earth in which the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today's (and with fetish porn), we are able to revisit the past in its inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at the least till this site eventually tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's review of Macbeth in their entirety. I have bound it with much rope and dragged it here for the perusal. (Please realize that many a sic are implied in these reviews.) their actually complex and silly! why cant we be studying like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is good! There you have it. Refreshingly, not just a evaluation written in one of many witch's voices or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Merely a primal shout unleashed into the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his capability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation having an economy and an understanding that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of the exact same play. You might'know'MICHAEL; he is the'Problems Architect'here at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies that he designs problems... which might be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you do not want to learn is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to start with, if it had been supposed to be read, then it will be a novel, not just a play. On top of that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None of us had read the play before. None of us wanted to learn it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared as if they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to make me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And yes it can definitely fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the writer and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you have sinned and will hell, if you rely on hell. If not, you're planning to the DMV. I am also fed up with all you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to anticipate others tokowtow on your petty linguistic rules. Creative appearance can totally free alone it doesn't matter how you attempt to shackle it. Which is your stick, Aubrey. Throughout the view, the particular play Macbeth seemed to be your worste peice ever compiled by Shakespeare, this is saying considerably contemplating i also study her Romeo plus Juliet. Ontop regarding it is really by now fantastic piece, impractical figures and absolutly discusting set of morals, Shakespeare candidly molds Lovely lady Macbeth as being the legitimate vilian inside the play. Thinking of jane is mearly the words in the back rounded in addition to Macbeth herself will be truely carrying out the hideous criminal offenses, like hard and scams, I do not realise why it is so easy to believe which Macbeth would probably be inclined to complete excellent as opposed to nasty if only the wife had been more possitive. I really believe until this engage in can be uterally unrealistic. Yet these is the actual ne furthermore extra of basic ebook reviewing. Whilst succinct and without having drawing attention tendency in order to coyness or perhaps cuteness, Jo's evaluation alludes with a resentment consequently powerful it's inexpressible. Just one imagines some Signet Timeless Models compromised in order to sections having pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I personally don't like this kind of play. So much so that will I can not perhaps provide you with any kind of analogies or even similes in respect of just how much I detest it. A great incrementally snarkier style may have reported some thing like...'I hate this particular have fun with similar to a simile Could not appear with.' Never Jo. The lady converse your raw, undecorated reality unsuitable regarding figurative language. Plus there's certainly no problem by using that. The moment within a great while, when you invest in neck-deep with dandified pomo hijinks, it truly is a great wallow inside the hog pen that you are itchin'for. Appreciate it, Jo. I really like mom and her in vain grasping on similes of which can not technique this bilious hatred in the heart. You happen to be quarry, along with We're yours. Figuratively discussing, associated with course. And already the following is the examine: Macbeth by William Shakespeare is the best fictional perform inside the The english language language, as well as anybody who disagrees can be an asshole and a dumbhead.
