TerrorBook - Like, dislike, or terminateA Story by Mark H.Everyone loves being connected.. but what happens when a terrorists taps the terminate button on his cell phone?
This is just a short, thought provoking story of one possible scenario for the future. Times are a changing.. Things are quite different now from the time when I was growing up in the early 70's. Back then no one had cell phones, FaceBook, or YouTube. I remember when I was in elementary school.. I brought one of the first digital handheld calculators to school for show and tell.. to make a long story short; no one at the school had ever seen such a thing.. including the teachers, school secretaries, or even the Principle of the school. They all seemed terrified of this unknown.. and the Principal paddled my behind for bringing it!..
Anyhow, lets fast forward to today.. everyone has and loves cellphones, being connected; and we all enjoy having instant access to answers to any questions instantly that we can type into a search bar or even to speak it with voice recognition. But what happens in the not so distant future when AI, and advancing technology has direct, and physical contact with everyone and everthing. Not all AI being introduced would have a concept of self, know self preservation, or be capable of self judgement or self awareness. Have you ever wondered how dangerous a cell phone would be in the hands of a terrorist in the future? Right from his cell phone.. he could click terminate and send anywhere in the world an instant command to drones with facial recognition to selectively have the drones or robots kill anybody he chooses. He could gain instant access through hacking into secure, and unsecure networks online. Just remember.. in the future.. Never click the terminate button. © 2017 Mark H. |
