CA Blogging Assignment 4
After I had read about "enhanced" students on page 7 to 8, I felt very weird because though I believed that such "enhanced" students would not appear in the real world, it seemed as if they might in a couple centries or even decades. I hated the idea of "silent messaging." This was just rediculous. A person's thoughts is something that should be kept inside oneself. Only if the person wished to share the idea, he would pull the idea out of his brain through his words and body languages. It was creepy that enhanced people were always connected to each other and sharing their thoughts all the time. However, looking back how humans have developed technologies and have made impossible things possible, I cannot gurantee that such "enhanced" students would never show up.

I felt weird somehow, too. Though I don't want to believe in the near future there will be such students like robots, I guess it's not impossible to "create" these students by technology. I feel a little dizzy when I imagine the world where "enhanced" people are working perfectly everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI think "enhanced" people would be able to protect their thoughts or ideas if they are really "enhanced".
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion that you hate the idea of silent messaging. I didnt think that silent messaging ment that enhanced people were always connected to eachother and shared there thoughts all the time, but i thought it was creepy because people will be able to say things behind other peoples back without anyone knowing. If this becomes possible, the problem of "ijime" would probably increase and be much more servere. scary!! lol
ReplyDeleteYuki, I even feel frightened when I imagine the world with enhanced people working perfectly. It shouldn't happen. If it did, we wouldn't be able to claim "because we are humans! (Mitsuo Aida)" when things are not done perfectly.
ReplyDeleteKazuya, I like your point. But I'm not sure if "enhanced" people can really be enhanced as to protect their thoughts or ideas completely because we are humans. Today we have so many advanced technologies that seem almost perfect, but they are never 100% perfect. Furthermore, many things turn out to be far from perfect even they are said to be nearly perfect, like what has been happening in Fukushima nuclear power plant.
ReplyDeleteSaki, thanks for letting me realize that silent messaging didn't really mean that enhanced people were always connected to each other. Your point that silent messaging that it would increase bullies was gave me a new idea for supporting my claim that silent messaging shouldn't be happening. Do you think there would be any benefit if silent message were put into practice in real world?
