Usualy it often starts with the explanation about what kind of job you have. It involves explanation that you are working with computers and what the kind of activities it involves etc. After like 2 minutes of explanation you realize that the person you are talking to doesn’t understand a shit. Ok, this is really not a big problem, but wouldn’t it be nice if you sometime in a social context could say that you work with X and thereafter receive a understanding from the other part?

Anyway, the world is in constant change and of course this depends where in world you live. The fact is that the digital aspect of our world is in constant change and is continually changing every minute, we are becoming more and more digitalized. This is one unavoidable aspect but the question is, how does this affect us? Is this positive or negative? Of course, this is something that is highly subjective and we all have a matter on this opinion.

I don’t believe that this is something negative because I think that the digital era that is upon us is constantly evolving and is at least said positive aspect for human beings. Computers facilitates our daily work, our business activities, our personal life, the communication with each other etc. There is so much that computers can do to facilitate the way we live. But still, there is still these questions that some of people are thinking about and that is; can computers really take over the world?

Haha hahaha and moahahaha, is the common response to this question and I can understand this response. But if we consider this as a possible scenario in the far future, is this something that could really happen, that is, can computers take over the world like in the movie iRobot ? I do think about this silly question once in a while but no I don´t think this is possible, at least not the way computers are functioning today, for Strong Artificial Intelligence, at least what I thing, needs something else beyond zero’s and ones.
