A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@jarfil I think it's unavoidable instict. In our ancestral environment, it was basic survival sense to fear the unknown and assume it could be dangerous. Caution just makes sense in that scenario.
There hasn't been enough time for our genes to adapt to our new, radically different environment. So people will continue to react to technological advances as if a tiger could leap out at any moment and maul them to death. Even I experience a vague unease, and I love technology.
