My Two bits; Automation can make us lazy.
Here I write the blog post using Google Docs and it automatically saves my work for me. There’s none of hitting control+S to save the Doc. People can get use to not doing tasks like saving a doc. But is this really a good thing? There are drawbacks to automation but in industry there are obvious advantages. Like moving heavy object or moving at rapid speeds that humans could not possibly move at. There ought to be some thought when we implement new automatic technologies as to whether we really need or want in our tech. Just my thoughts’.

Surfs up!...................................Eric
