I know this website is giving scenerios as to what will cause the end of the world; but I found it very interesting that almost all of the scenerios the author gives involve the advancement of technology. The website really speaks for itself, and was an interesting read that definitely relates to many concepts and topics we discussed in class. It even has a few comments about AI, which we watched in class. Personally, I find it scary and also fascinating that we all think technology is so helpful, useful, and futuristic; but this technology and other advances could potentially lead to our demise. Clearly, not all technology is "innocent" (for example, drones) but when most of us think of technology, we don't think of the dangers or possible consequences of technological advances, which this website addresses. It definitely got me thinking of where we are going and if there will ever be a end to making new advances in technology.

I think that the advancements in technology are an important aspect of the progress of human nature. I think that the possibility of our demise is more attributed to our responsibility as a race rather than not being able to control the technology we create.
