Technology, Humanity and the Future Prepared by: NANCY M. CABALUNA, MAED-BIO Learning Objectives: Isaac Asimov Introduces a set rules in his 1942 short story, Runaround, known as the Three (3) Laws of Robotics Question to Ponder! If the Zeroth Law is different from the First Law, Is Zeroth Law will guarantee humanity’s survival in case of age advanced robots will materialize?  Would you consider yourself addicted to social media? Behavior Question Survey Note: Each question refers to a key feature of behavioral addiction: building tolerance for the stimulus, symptoms of withdrawal, conflict about the source of the addiction, the high salience of the addictive behavior, a sense of euphoria when indulging the addiction, and vulnerability to relapse (Villines, 2016). Behavior Question Survey Note: Each question refers to a key feature of behavioral addiction: building tolerance for the stimulus, symptoms of withdrawal, conflict about the source of the addiction, the high salience of the addictive behavior, a sense of euphoria when indulging the addiction, and vulnerability to relapse (Villines, 2016).  Answering yes to three (3) or more questions is indicative of social media addiction. It is a serious concern because a 2015 study found a correlation between significant use of social media in teens and untreated mental health issues. Another 2016 study indicated that addiction to the Internet may be associated with higher rates of anxiety and depression (Villines, 2016).  A scene from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The 1968 epic film is about a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient computer HAL, prompted by the discovery of a mysterious black monolith in Africa affecting human evolution. David Bowman, the astronaut inside the Discovery spaceship, disengaged the connections of the supercomputer's brain circuit after suspecting it killing his colleague and him. He also found out later on the only HAL knew the real objective of the mission. HAL felt guilty that he kept everything from the astronauts, it produced “little” error in its tasks. Would you do what David has done to the supercomputer after finding out the latter has lied about the objectives of the voyage to Jupiter? Expound your answer. Nicolas Carr’s article: “Is Google Making Us Stupid? Nicolas Carr’s article: “Is Google Making Us Stupid?
