Question:Are you scared/nervous about what the world will be like when there is technology all around you? Why or why not?

Answer:I am very scared about what the world might look like in 10 or 15 years!!!! I think this because I love nature and animals, and if the world is like those youtube videos then what will happen to the animals?? Will they all die or something else happen to them??? Please put what you think and edit with whats going through your mind!!!!!!!!!! I am also very scared about what the world would be like in 10 or 15 years. I would be scared because imagine that this is what we have now and think we might have robots walking around and everywhere we will see fat kids walking around on their I- phones because the children of the future would not have a motivation to leave the house when they have their devices. media type="youtube" key="2scy2HcKknI" height="315" width="560" This video is a argument about whether if technology helps or hurts our productivity.
