Fear-mongering is as common as ever in the news industry, however, even when exaggerated, many of these issues are becoming overlooked due to the over saturation of the genre. In this post I will briefly analyze a post that shines some light on a controversial decision, and whether it is an article worth taking seriously.
The intertwining of technology into our lives is exponentially growing with no signs of slowing. This is a prime example, in which the increasingly popular drones are being fitted with nonlethal weapons. This is a development that in theory should be a good advancement for the safety of the police force, but its outlook seems more nefarious.
"Terminator" references are often jokingly thrown around, but with the inevitable militarization of technology these jokes will only grow more unsettling and applicable. As a computer science major I have some amount of investment in to technology in general, and it worries me that people tend to turn a blind eye to these sort of developments and favor the juicier drama that finds its way around.
