There is more to the problem. We have not only outsourced our thinking to a app on a mobile phone, but we are actually moving to a phase whereby, AI will help us send pre-framed responses to texts. Companies dont't even want people to type something in a search button or click on a weather app, just say what you want and an automated voice assistant will do the rest. It will even be your friend when you are lonely, tell you lame jokes from the internet. All to feed consumerism.
There was a time when people would repair things, try to not spend hard earned money to understand things and fix them. Now, just replace. Products are cheap and don't last.. why repair, just replace.
Food can be ordered at the tip of a button. Buying and cooking food, a basic survival skill is vanishing because I can just order something on my phone. Soon we may not even need to drive at all. of course we have uber, but soon a software will be driving cars.
We are losing all the basic survival skills that one can think of. And for what? No everyone is so busy that they need to free up time to do something important. Most people will free up time and then waste all of it following random people on instagram.. yearning to have a "fun and happening" lifestyle, only to end up feeling lonely and without company. Finally it leads to lifestyle diseases which are also on the rise in the modern world.
Had heard that they demonstrated it this time but hadn't seen the video myself. Thanks for sharing.
People are so disconnected they are running to AI and robots for companionship. Sex roots and dolls are a growing industry :/ It's sad... we are devolving :/
Yeah automated everything, drive for me, cook for me, do it all for me while I numb my boring pointless life with entertainment drivel and drool... :P
