We've been purposely misled all our lives that the pursuit and implementation of technology was for the benefit of Man. In Fact, our technology is almost always used to exploit us and to replace us. Any person, organization, government or institution that tells you that technology does not eliminate jobs is lying to you. This is a fallacy that has gone on for more than 100 years to protect profits and power at your expense.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Warnings !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scientists have been warning for decades. but of course no one listens until they start to feel the pain. Now you're starting to see driverless vehicles, humanoid robots and fully automated factories with robots that work nonstop without any human intervention. AI is starting to makes its’ presence known also. It’s probably the scariest because it’s even affecting white collar jobs and this is just a hint of some of the things that AI can disrupt. Can you imagine full featured movies being made without Actors, Cameras and the huge production crews that are needed today? Unfortunately, this is barely touching the surface of what technology can and will produce.

Our planet has a sickness. We’ve been suffering from a slow and painful Death by Technology. Well guess what? It’s starting to accelerate as expected. Unfortunately, we've done nothing to mitigate the virus. So now, not only is the sickness spreading, it's mutating and metastasizing at much faster rate. The increasing devastation of technology on our economies and way of life will only accelerate and cause more damage with each new cycle of innovation. Death by Technology isn’t just about Technological Unemployment; it is also about the degradation and corruption of our products and services. We are finding more and more that our privacy and information no longer belong to us. For decades, scientists like myself have tried to warn the public about the inevitable. Our Technology is becoming so efficient that it is removing the spending power of consumers all over the world. If consumers can’t support our businesses, then obviously our current form of civilization collapses. It will be a slow and painful Death by Technology. 

Fear might cause us to make the same mistake of the Luddite uprising that took place 214 years ago. That is an easy trap that failed miserably. Today we have the hindsight of time, experience and technology. There is a better way.

The first well-known uprising against machines and technology was the Luddite uprising between 1811 and 1816. Obviously, it was a failure. But this time, failure is not an option because there is nowhere else to go. Technology has devastated almost every sector of our economies except white-collar jobs. Now AI is coming for white-collar jobs and everything else that was left over.
