RE: On our way to Smart Cities

Hi @spirajn
Technology is the order of the day and currently dominates our lives. I am afraid to put in the hands of Alexa such dangerous things as weapons or support of vital systems, I still do not have enough confidence to leave such vital decisions in their hands. I feel more comfortable delegating things like knowing when to buy food or household items, and I have my doubts about it, because that information of knowing when and what things you are going to buy, can be used in prejudice of anyone, such as to know When will you not be home?

Hello friend. You tell things that are very important for the transhumanist thinking, for the understanding of our newest problems in high-tech societies.
This new digital reality, intertwined with our physical one, brings many difficulties that seem completely new (or to be a new version of the old human problems).
Smart cities require the citizens to be completely monitored as dynamic parts of a system whose movements should be organized in the smartest way. But that also implies very serious threats to everyone's privacy.
These are profound and complex issues, and we don't have the answers yet. But we keep thinking about all of this. Perhaps soon we'll arrive at healthy solutions.
But one thing is pretty certain to me: this digitization of the whole human life won't stop.
