What is your full name?

My name is Anika Afrin. 

Do you consider yourself to be a tech savvy person?

I would say that I consider myself to be a tech savvy person. I'm, I wouldn't say that I'm a geek or an expert in this field, but I think that I have adequate knowledge to work with machine or computers. Okay. And in this world, without being tech savvy, I think you're gonna fall behind. So yeah. 

What are some technological devices you use on a daily basis?

Um, I think the technological device that i use most is my mobile phone, because I use it to set my alarm. I use it to see the time, etc. Other devices that I use are my laptop and earphones. 

How has technology changed the way people communicate with each other?

Um, I think there has been a massive change in the way people communicate with each other because of technology. Because back in the days you, you had to write letters to your friends or family and wait for, uh, two to three days perhaps. But now with the advancement of technology, you can just, um, Reach your friend or family within one second. And it has also made the world much smaller. 

Are there any technological innovations that you find particularly fascinating?

Yes, I think, um, the tech technological innovation that I find particularly fascinating is AI. Because the way AI can imitate human beings is quite interesting. 

Do you think technological advancements have more positive or negative effects?

I think that is a subjective question and it depends on how you're thinking about it. for example, if you want to be more productive, I think then AI is a very, very, um, good tool for that. And I think, um, and if you consider about, um, the overall purpose of human life, then I am, I'm not sure, like, is it our purpose to be efficient?

___________________________________________________________________________________

Describe a recent technological innovation that you find interesting.

You should say:

- What the innovation is

- How it works

- What its benefits or impacts are

- And explain why you find it interesting.

___________________________________________________________________________________

So the recent technological innovation that I find particularly interesting is artificial intelligence or AI. I think AI is, um, is a very interesting topic because it is something that we haven't seen before and AI gives machines the ability to perform human tasks. Now, the machines can think, which is quite fascinating. The machines can do creative work such as, um, Painting, filmmaking, etc. This is something we thought was exclusive to human beings, but it's not the truth anymore. I think there are several benefits to this and several, there are several drawbacks as well, because, um, With the advancement of technology, many people are gonna be unemployed. And in the, in the 1930s, there was a term that was called technological employment, but I think we are gonna see the opposite of that with the, with AI. Also, there are several benefits of AI as well, because I think AI permits human beings to become more efficient. And um, they, it, allows human being to focus on things that are more important for the human race in general. uh, I think that's about it, about the benefits and drawbacks. And then, um, I think I find this very interesting because it, this is something we haven't  seen before and it is entirely new for the world. And there, there are gonna be several changes because of this technology. The world is gonna like completely change it and, um, it's gonna face more challenges as well because of this. what I find more fascinating about this is the fact that AI can talk like human beings. It's like, I think language itself is a quite complicated thing, but the way, uh, AI can, um, imitate human beings, it's like, it's almost unrecognizable that if it's a human being or a machine that you're talking to 

How do you think this technological innovation will evolve in the future?

Um, in the future, I think AI is gonna become more and more advanced. It's gonna become. Smarter with time. The more we upload data on the internet, the more it's gonna have access to. And, um, I don't know, there might be a time when it's gonna beat human beings. 

Are there any potential challenges or obstacles that this innovation might face?

Yes, I think there may be some obstacles that AI might face because there is a question of ethics in here. Many people are already questioning the fact that should AI be permitted to provide creative, um, work because AI has been accused of stealing data from artists like art artists'. artwork, and then copying it and reproducing it in, in a different manner. So I think. AI might face, um, obstacles and people might not want it to be there in the future. 

How does this technological innovation compare to the previous technologies?

Well, previously we used to do everything, um, manually, like humans had to be directly involved in a task. and now what we have to do is write prompts for the AI basically. 

So how accessible is this innovation to the general population?

Well, at the moment it is quite accessible to everyone for free. However, there are some advanced futures for which require payment. 

Part 3

In what ways does technology influence the workplace and job market?

I think there has been massive changes in the workplace and job market because of technology. For example, back in the days in the offices, things were manual people. We had to use pen and paper for everything, record keeping and stuff. But now we can use computers. And, Um, meetings can be done using computers, so like the workplace has become much more technologically advanced and about the job market. I think, um, technology has created more, more jobs for people, but at the same time, technology is also taking jobs away from people because it can be done by machines and people are not required in those places. 

How do you think technological innovations have changed the way we travel?

There has been a lot of changes in the ways we travel because of technological innovation. For example, back in the days it would take like people used to take ships to get from one continent to another continent, and it would take like months. But now we can just get. From one continent to another continent in one or two days because of technology and airplanes. 

Are there any potential drawbacks or negative impacts on relying heavily on technology?

I think there are drawbacks, and I would consider myself to be on the conservative side more when it comes to relying on technology because, And for example, right now, the world runs on the internet. If the internet was shut down, then the world would come to a stop and Right. We wouldn't know what to do and it would affect, um, the economy and every, every function of the world. 

How has technology transformed the field of education?

I think there has been many changes in the field of education because of technology. Um, for example, like in the office we had to use pen and paper. In our schools and universities. We also had to use pen and paper, but now the world is trying to be more eco-friendly and trying to go paperless, right? and at the same time, there has been an increasing amount of use of laptops, mobile phones for education, and there has also been remote learning. And an example of remote learning is Khan Academy, I think. Uh, right. 

Yeah. Okay. Do you think there are any ethical concerns related to the development and use of technology?

Yes, I think there are many ethical concerns because I. Um with the increasing advancement of technology like a human and a machine is becoming almost equal. So like I also, um, more and more information are on the internet and like our lives are basically becoming public. And another thing that, um, I am concerned about is that people make videos of their children and like posted on the internet and Right. Um it's basically, they're basically doing it without the consent of the kids and. I don't think that's a very good thing. I don't think that would have a very good impact on them. I think, um, technological advancements has also has a bad impact on mental health and it has also made the world very fast paced As human beings, we, um, need to slow down sometimes and we're not supposed to be in constant touch and in constantly like communicate with one another, but because of technology that has changed. So I think there are drawbacks and ethical concerns about it.
