Throughout the past twenty years, we have made tremendous technological advancements. Advances such as the space explora- tions, the invention of the pocket-sized calculator, and the extensive use of computers are all products of this technological craze. Although these advances have provided us with numerous con- veniences, they may have a negative effect on our future. By the end of the twentieth century it is quite possible that our world will be run by computers and machines. We will no longer be distinct individuals but rather distinct numbers. At the rate technology is ad- vancing, complete automation is the only possible outcome. -Brad Slutsky 132
