"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction.
The world will have a generation of idiots."
(Albert Einstein)
While no one could ever really prove that Einstein spoke those words out aloud, it´s pretty obvious that they carry an important message. Technology will make human interaction disappear more and more as it evolves over time and unfortunately we came pretty far already...
Walking through the city you see so many people starring on their smartphone screens. It doesn´t matter whether they are sitting together with their friends to enjoy some lunch or coffee in the afternoon. Even couples, sitting face to face rather look into their smartphones than into each others eyes.
Whenever you walk through life with open eyes you´ll recognize that the world went through a sad change. Today I´m happy that I´ve grew up in a time that didn´t know about smartphones yet and that I just got to know this technology at the age of 19. Though the rapid change over the last few years makes me question...
Will Blockchain Technology Reduce Human Interaction even more?
Automated Payments, Safe Contracts, Information stored permanently and available to everyone publicly. Whatever sounds so amazing at first could bear a huge downside after all as all those further improvements in technology can interfere human interaction.
Are we entering a time in which we don´t even have to speak with the waiter at the restaurant anymore as it´s all done through technology? Will we just download a draft for a safe contract and sign it on a blockchain instead of sitting next to each other talking about it?
With all the freedom that the blockchain technology could bring to us it could as well after all be kind of a Trojan horse, ultimately capturing us in our own world. A world which doesn´t require us to interact with others anymore as it´s all on the blockchain.
That all being said, I´m amazed of the changes this new technology will bring to us but at the same time I´m scared of the consequences we might face, which are not obvious to us at the very moment. Smartphones started small once as well but today everyone is addicted to them and allows technology to cut themselves out of real life. Let´s hope the Blockchain technology won´t make it worse!
Let me hear your opinion!
I´d love to get to know what you think about this!
