"Why Doesn't The Future Need Us"

Joy’s thesis is how technology could take over the world . Joy is pointing out how the technology of robots is growing. This growth of technology for robots could be a danger to society . By if the world is ran by robots then the human race will have some problems. These machines could the things that we humans do but better, also they could make decisions for themselves and for us. Then we would’t know the outcome of their decisions.

Humans can avoid becoming obsolete and unnecessary, by humans controlling the technology. Also controlling personal things like their cars and computers they can be controlled by their owners. But for bigger machines they would need to by monitored by more then one human.

The institutions are contributing t this problem. By machines are becoming more intelligent, and with the growth of technology humans will become less of a need. Humans will less needed because the machines will not need to be monitored. The institutions, inevitably thinks and feels that it is unnecessary to monitor the machines. This will be a result of the world will be overtaken by machines.

Huxley would respond well to Joy’s article. By how Huxley satirizes the technology in Brave New World. Huxley use foreshadow in the book to show us that it could happen to us, if we get to caught up with technology. Then humans would’t need t contact each other to survive. Huxley and Joy is saying that humans are letting technology grow with intelligent while humans are nothing to stop it or slow down the growth of technology.


Joy employs that technology will overtake the world by stating some points about how technology will rule the world. One point is how humans use technology for basic things like for transportation, Communion. Also how a computer can give any answer to any question you can think of.

I think Joy is a fear monger, because Joy does not want the growth of technology to take over the world in the future. Joy tries to show everyone the problem with the technology by using imagery.The imagery that Joy is using is about, and the bombing on page 3 of the article and how the world will like at the end by being ruled by technology. Joy used imagery the point across the bored about the growth of technology.

Joy thesis on how technology will overtake the world connects to Brave New World. By how the technology controls the society in Brave New World. That in the future of are society technology will control too.
