Radical Evolution: Chapter1&2

I have never ever been interested in technology before I started reading this book. I knew that technology has been rapidly improving, but that is all I knew. However, right after I started reading this book, I realized that I cannot ignore the facts/problems that technology is facing with now, as a person who lives in this century. As you all know, we cannot do anything without technologies. The author of the book says that "Now our techonologies have started to merge with our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities, our progeny and perhaps our souls." Technology has a huge influence on our life now.
In chapter 1 (Prologue), the author talks about how fast technology has developed and the Three Scenarios: The Heaven, The Hell, and The Prevail. According to the author, the last scenario "The Prevail" should be the most complicated one. Because in the scenario, we cannot predict the future.
In chapter 2 (Be All You Can Be), there is the story of the girl, Gina, who has cerebral palsy. Technology actually helps those who are disabled to reach their potential, and it could cure her disease of cerebral palsy. However, the end of the chapter, she says "My cerebral palsy is part of me." She does not need to cure her cerebral palsy because it is part of her human nature. I was impressed when I read this. In general, healthy smart people invent technology. And they invent technology for disabled people so they can lead their life with less problems. But what if disabled people see their disabilities as their human nature? Do we still need to device technology for them? I think we should do that if they need it.
Since I have deaf parents, I think the invention of Skype was great. When I went to Canada for my study abroad, we could go on Skype to talk in sign language and see each other on the video. Skype is not exactly one of the technologies to assist to reach their potential, but it does make life of deaf people easier.

Honestly, I think we should stop improving technology because I feel it's enough. I am happy with current situation and don't need any more development. We don't need superhuman because people are all like superhuman. I mean the existence of human beings are already super amazing thing!However, people are greedy and want to have some goals to achieve. So I am sure that they will keep developing technology.

This book makes me think a lot about the presence.
