We are currently living in a world that data and information can be easily shared and used mutually. It is undeniable that a shared community indeed brings large benefits to people. For example, communities that share resources help people search for information quickly and conveniently. By using high technological products, such as the Internet, we can easily get access to an unknown field.
In the sci-fi movie The Feed, human civilization absolutely has been elevated to a highest level in terms of the usage of technology. People in this movie can instantly share thoughts and emotions through brain implanting technology. However, I would say no to this world. First of all, If everyone has a high level of knowledge, everyone has the same thoughts and identical recognition ability. How should we share different thoughts from various aspects? Additionally, Sharing thoughts seems extremely equal to people. On the contrary, there is a great inequality of this technology. If people can easily get the other thoughts, what will be the rules to assess people?By appearance? I believe that shared communities could definitely integrate people in helping each other interact and improve themselves. The technology will be a weapon if it is handled by wrong people.
With the technology of Altered Carbon, people can get rid of racism and other discriminations. Since people are fluid at that time and can have different bodies. One thing that is bad in the show is that people have to manually update their memories onto their stax rather than have everything synced.
Compared to data now, we as consumers do not have to upload personal memories. However, we seem to do so anyway by posting about life on social media for the emotional attention from others. I think we are really close to the plot in Black Mirror, there already has a rating system for people to make decisions about you as a person. For example, we see the amount of dislikes and likes on youtube videos which can make us judge the content early.
We are staying in a fast-paced society. Elon Musk proposed an idea that human brains can be connected to electronic devices. This neuralink project allows us to control things like computers by mind and bluetooth. Recently, it passed animal trials and testing in pigs. It could be helpful. But it also would be dangerous to our life. It is hard for people to control the security at the same time.
I agree with your views on future technology and security. We always see images of implanting chips into human bodies in movies. If this technology is put into human trials in the future, I will also be worried about safety.
