Itekhnoloji isenze sakwazi ukwenza ngakumbi ngelixa siyiqonda kancinci into esiyenzayo, kwaye inyuse ukuxhomekeka kwethu kwabanye(Ifoto: Jesse Orrico / Unsplash) Inqaku lomhleli: Eli nqaku liyinxalenye yentsebenziswano yengxoxo kunye Inqaku lithathiwe , Inkqubo entsha evela kwi-WGBH eza kulandela ngoLwesibini, nge-5 kaJulayi kwi-PBS nakwi-intanethi ku-pbs.org. Umboniso ubeka ingxoxo esekwe kwinyani kwimiba ephambili yosuku, ngaphandle kokukhwaza.
I-smartphone esesandleni sakho yenza ukuba ukwazi rekhoda ividiyo, uyihlele kwaye uyithumele kwihlabathi liphela. Ngefowuni yakho, ungahamba ezixekweni, uthenge imoto, ulandele iimpawu zakho ezibalulekileyo kwaye ufeze amawaka eminye imisebenzi. Kwaye?
Ngayinye yale misebenzi isetyenziselwa ukufuna ukufunda izakhono ezithile kunye nokufumana izixhobo ezifanelekileyo zokwenza. Ukwenza ifilimu? Kuqala, fumana ikhamera yemovie kunye neetekhnoloji ezixhasayo (ifilimu, izibane, izixhobo zokuhlela). Okwesibini, funda indlela yokuyisebenzisa kunye nokuqesha abasebenzi. Okwesithathu, yenza imovie. Okwesine, phuhlisa kwaye uhlele ifilimu. Okwesihlanu, yenza iikopi uzisasaze.

Ngoku yonke loo misebenzi isonjululwa yitekhnoloji. Asisadingi kuphinda sifunde iinkcukacha ezintsonkothileyo xa iinkqubo ze-smartphone zikhathalele okuninzi. Kodwa abenzi beefilimu ngoku bakhululekile ngakumbi ukuba bagxile kubugcisa babo, kwaye kulula kunangaphambili ukuba ngumenzi wefilimu. Ngokwembali, itekhnoloji isenze ukuba sigezele ngokukodwa kwaye silumke ngokukodwa-kwaye ngokudibeneyo silumke. Itekhnoloji isenze sakwazi ukwenza ngakumbi ngelixa siyiqonda kancinci into esiyenzayo, kwaye inyuse ukuxhomekeka kwethu kwabanye.
Ayizondlela zangoku, kodwa yinxalenye yembali yetekhnoloji okoko abantu bokuqala baqala ukulima. Kumashumi eminyaka akutshanje, zintathu izinto ezitshintshileyo eziye zakhawulezisa inkqubo, kuqalwa ngokunyuka kwesantya sabantu abagxile kwizakhono ezithile. Ukongeza, sikhupha izakhono ezingaphezulu kwizixhobo zetekhnoloji, njenge-app yokwenza imovie kwi-smartphone, esikhulula kumceli mngeni wokufunda isixa esikhulu solwazi lobuchwephesha. Kwaye abantu abaninzi banokufikelela kubuchwephesha kunangaphambili, kubavumela ukuba bazisebenzise ngokulula ngakumbi ezi zixhobo.
Ulwazi olukhethekileyo
Ubungcali busenza ukuba silunge kakhulu kwezinye izinto, kodwa ukuba utyalo-mali ekufundeni-umzekelo, ukuba ngumongikazi we-ER okanye ikhowudi yekhowudi- iza ngokuncama ezinye izakhono ezinje ngokukhulisa ukutya kwakho okanye ukuzakhela indawo yokuhlala.

Njengoko uAdam Smith waphawula kwi-1776 yakhe Ubutyebi beZizwe, Ubungcali benza ukuba abantu babe nokusebenza ngakumbi kwaye bavelise imisebenzi kwiseti enye, kodwa ngokurhweba ngokuxhomekeka kokunyuka kwabanye kwiimfuno ezongezelelweyo. Kwithiyori, wonke umntu uyaxhamla.
Ubungcali buneziphumo zokuziphatha kunye nezepragmatic. Abasebenzi abanezakhono kunokwenzeka ukuba baqeshwe kwaye bafumane umvuzo ongaphezulu koogxa babo abangenazakhono. Isizathu sokuba i-United States iphumelele iMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi yayikukuba iibhodi zokuyila zigcine abasebenzi abaqeqeshiweyo, iinjineli kunye nososayensi ndisebenza ngaphambili endaweni yokubathuma ukuba bayokulwa. Umqhubi wesixhobo somatshini onobuchule okanye ioyoustabout enegalelo ngakumbi ekuphumeleleni emfazweni ngokuhlala ekhaya kwaye anamathele kwindima ekhethekileyo kunokuba aye ngaphambili nompu. Oko kwakuthetha ukuba amanye amadoda (kunye nabanye abantu basetyhini) banxibe iyunifomu kwaye banethuba elikhulu lokufa.
Ukwenza oomatshini bethu sonke
Ukubandakanya izakhono zabantu kumatshini obizwa ngokuba yi-blackboxing kuba wenza ukuba imisebenzi ingabonakali kumsebenzisi-ivumela abantu abaninzi ukuba, umzekelo, bathathe uxinzelelo lwegazi ngaphandle kokutyala ixesha, izixhobo kunye nomzamo ekufundeni izakhono ezazifuneka ngaphambili ukusebenzisa igazi uxinzelelo cuff. Ukubeka ubuchwephesha kumatshini kuthoba imiqobo yokungena yokwenza into kuba umntu akadingi kwazi kangako. Umzekelo, umahluko wokufunda ukuqhuba imoto kunye nencwadana ngokuthelekisa ukuhambisa okuzenzekelayo. 
Itekhnoloji yenza ukubulala kube lula: i-AK-47(Ifoto: Umkhosi wase-US / i-SPC u-Austin Berner)
Imveliso emininzi yeetekhnoloji zebhokisi emnyama yenza ukuba zisetyenziswe ngokubanzi. Ii-Smartphones kunye noomatshini bokujonga uxinzelelo lwegazi abanokusebenza kancinci ukuba kungangamawaka endaweni yamashumi ezigidi zabantu abanokuzisebenzisa. Konwaba kancinci, ukuvelisa amashumi ezigidi oombayimbayi abazenzekelayo njengeAK-47s kuthetha ukuba abantu banokubulala abantu abaninzi ngakumbi ngokulula xa kuthelekiswa nezixhobo zakudala ezinjengeemela.
Ngokubanzi, sixhomekeke kwabanye ukwenza into esingenako kwaphela okanye ngokunjalo. Abahlali besixeko ikakhulu baxhomekeke kubukhulu, ubukhulu becala kwizakhiwo ezingabonakaliyo ukubonelela ngamandla abo , susa inkunkuma yabo kwaye qinisekisa ukutya kwaye amashumi amawaka ezinye izinto ziyafumaneka.
Ukuzibaxa izinto kubuchwepheshe kuyingozi
Eyona nto iphambili ekunyukeni kokuxhomekeka kubuchwephesha ziziphumo ezonyukayo ukuba ezo teknoloji ziyaqhekeka okanye ziphele. Ulwazi lukaLewis Dartnell ibonelela ngovuyo (kwaye luyoyikeka) lokuhlola ukuba abo basindileyo kwi-apocaplyse eyonakalisayo yoluntu bangasindisa njani kwaye bagcine itekhnoloji yenkulungwane yama-21. 
Kubaluleke ngakumbi kunokuba ucinga: usebenzisa isexant(Ifoto: US Navy / PM3 M. Jeremie Yoder)
Umzekelo omnye wezinto ezininzi kukuba i-US Naval Academy iqale kwakhona amagosa oqeqesho lokuhamba nge-sextants . Ngokwembali ekuphela kwendlela yokumisela indawo enqanaweni elwandle, obu buchule buyafundiswa kwakhona kokubini njengendawo yogcino kwimeko ye-cyberattackers iphazamise imiqondiso ye-GPS kwaye inike oomatiloshe ukuziva okungcono ngezinto ezenziwa ziikhompyuter zabo.
Basinda njani abantu kwaye baphumelele kweli hlabathi lokuxhomekeka okuguqukayo kunye notshintsho? Akunakwenzeka ukuba uzithembe ngokwenyani, kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba ufunde ngakumbi malunga neetekhnoloji esizisebenzisayo, ukufunda izakhono ezisisiseko zokuzilungisa nokuzilungisa (inqaku: soloko ujonga uqhagamshelo kwaye ufunde incwadana) kunye nokufumana abantu abazi ngakumbi malunga nezihloko ezithile. Ngale ndlela ubutyebi obuninzi bolwazi kwi-Intanethi abunakwandisa kuphela ukuxhomekeka kwethu kodwa bunokunciphisa (kunjalo, ukuthandabuza malunga nolwazi kwi-Intanethi ayizombono imbi). Ukucinga ngento eyenzekayo xa kukho into engahambanga kakuhle kunokuba yinto efanelekileyo ekucwangciseni okanye ekuhleni ukuba nexhala.
Ngokwamntu, sixhomekeke ngakumbi kubuchwephesha bethu kunangaphambili - kodwa sinokwenza ngaphezulu kunakuqala. Ngokudibeneyo, itekhnoloji isenze ukuba sikrelekrele, sikwazi ngakumbi kwaye sivelise ngakumbi. Itekhnoloji engakwenzanga isenza sibe nobulumko.
