The future of technology, I'll be honest, it scares me.

There have always been the folks worrying about the changes in technology. I'm sure the same comments were made when the first wheel hit the ground. We haven't been eliminated from the earth yet, and I suspect we will all make it till that day we die.

This is too pretty a day to complain about anything. Get out there and shoot something!
There was no fear of artificial intelligence of the wheel.
One O them damn thingy's flies over my house I will shoot sumpin.

...Then, we got color TV! Color! We had one of those big ones hat was like as long as the sofa and had about a 12" screen. Man that thing was heavy!

My parents didn't have a color TV until I got out of the Army, in 1980.

I came home with a Sony Trinitron (remember those?) and let them use it until I found a place to live. When I got a place, I came and fetched the Sony.

Within 2 weeks, they had a brand new color TV.

I’ve been involved in the evolution of technology since the solid state days in the early 70’s to 4 years ago in the control systems programming and instrumentation field. I’ve always said the greatest development ever in electronics was the microprocessor. It influences almost every facet of our life from our toasters to our vehicles.
Now we have Artificial Intelligence which is quantum leaps above Microprocessors.
I personally think it’s an incredible progression.
Currently part of a beta testing group that is helping develop better home security by only recognizing human movements vs insects in flight, etc that can cause false motion alerts.
Interesting to see how this turns out.
I have motion detectors from Alert 360 ( Formerly guardian) that won’t go off for my two dogs but they will detect a human being. They work pretty darn good. Pretty interesting what you are helping with.

Have you tried to interact in a meaningful way with most people under 25 lately? I have, and it's difficult, by and large. There are exceptions, but they are not frequent...

Because you can't make out what they are trying to say due to their over use of "like"? :)

"Like you know, I was like, like man, your knee is like huge, like what do you think is like wrong? Like, then I was like, wow, that like hurts, like man, I should like do something, like what though? Then I was like, Ok, like go to the like Dr. you know, duh, but then I was like really? Like a Doc for my like knee? Then I was like all freaked out and decided to like google what was like wrong instead. But then I couldn't like get any results on "like my knee is huge and it hurts", like all I got was porn, so then I was like porn, I like porn, and then I was like on Pornhub...."

It's called pet immune technology. It looks for heat signature and shape of a human's height and width. They used to mount them upside down to keep from getting pets but them damn cats...
