Like Brittany, I instantly thought of AP English when I stumbled upon this on Tumblr. My answer to this question would be no. I have never imagined spending the majority of my life interacting with a machine. But what am I doing now? I am doing exactly what this question has presented me: interacting with a lifeless machine, my computer.
This is the type of question I imagine Huxley and Krzwell would ask. They believed that with the influx of technology, our society would be succumbed to its potentials and capabilities that we would spend the majority of our life interacting with these lifeless machines.
In fact, it is already happening in our society today.
My computer is a machine, but you guys aren't. I can reach you through technology, so sometimes I feel that my computer is alive. But I get your point.
