Journal #2
I would like to start off by saying that this reading was strenuous. To be quite honest I am having a difficult time coming up with things to write for this journal. For the most part I was extremely confused as to what this story was about. As I kept reading I began to understand what Isaac Asimov was trying to say.
I believe that the entire point of this reading is to question whether technology is positive or negative in terms of being helpful or destructive to us. I personally think and have always thought that technology is helpful and useful but at the same time I believe people are far too dependent on it. Without television, computers and so on, society is lost.
It is an extremely scary thought that we are being controlled and regulated through technology…robots. The Frankenstein complex that Asimov mentions in the story could very well become a reality. With all of the advances in technology it will not be long before this fear becomes an actuality.
Too much of a good thing only leads to something negative. People are always striving to achieve more and go beyond the limits…but how far is too far? Will this need to go further end in destruction? I believe that if we are not cautious with our technological developments we will be faced with tribulations.
