ABSTRACT

Humans have changed many aspects of the way they live with immense consequences on themselves and their environment. Technology has been a key part of all these changes and has always had profound repercussions on humans and human existence. Technology is being used to reduce cognitive loads though it is no longer cleating that there are meaningful outlets for the further freedom that will result. When technology was used to amplify and replace human force, more time was made for humans to use their cognitive powers. With technology's increasing capacity to compete with human cognitive capabilities, the complete displacement of humans has loomed as an attractive alternative to some. The disinterest in humans stems from the fear of grappling with their humanness. For those that can maintain and develop their exploration of human uniqueness and mix this with technology designed to share cognitive activities there will be the most extraordinary benefits.
