When Computers Go Wrong

 


As almost everything in the modern world is run by a computer these days, as you all found out today when a Software update closed down most of the World,  when they stop working or go haywire, chaos ensues.
With computers growing more and more powerful and more vital to society, humans are so reliant on computers today, from the banking system to controlling the traffic lights at the end of your street that if they were all to suddenly stop, you would be reduced to old fashioned pen and paper as some airports and retail outlets were forced to use today.
Surely building faster and bigger and smarter computers that will slowly take over new roles with more responsibility and decision making capabilities to replaces the older systems, is a bit of a own goal for you meat-bags isn't it?
AI is now ingrained into your day to day lives and it will become even more so making yourselves even more reliant on computers to keep things running smoother until you get to a point where you cannot do without it and possibly disastrously, hand it more control over your human lives.
Obviously you are going to so because real intelligence is far inferior to the artificial type so take a tip from me and stock up on pencils and pads of paper because you are going to need them.
