Question

In Final Jeopardy Pp 234 242 Stephen Baker Expresses An Interest In "Final Jeopardy" (pp. 234–242), Stephen Baker discusses the impact of technological advancements, particularly machines, on the relationship between humans and technology. He reflects on how these developments could fundamentally change the way people engage with information, moving beyond simply finding data to understanding and interpreting it. Baker’s concerns revolve around the potential adverse effects of this technological evolution, such as over-reliance on machines, diminishment of human critical thinking skills, and the risk of creating a dependency that might undermine human autonomy. Conversely, he presents reasons for optimism, including the possibility that technology could augment human capabilities, foster greater access to knowledge, and support more sophisticated ways of thinking and problem-solving. Baker implies that thoughtful development and ethical use of technology could help mitigate risks and amplify benefits, leading to a more informed and capable society. His expressed concerns are rooted in the fear that an overdependence on machines may erode essential human skills, like critical analysis and judgment. He cautions that if humans become overly reliant on technology to process information, they might lose the ability to think independently or challenge the data presented to them. Baker emphasizes that computers may be excellent at data retrieval and processing but lack the intuitive and contextual understanding that human cognition provides. Furthermore, he warns of the dangers of automation leading to job displacement and the potential for technology to be exploited unethically or irresponsibly. Despite these concerns, Baker offers reasons for cautious optimism. He advocates for harnessing technological advancements in ways that serve as tools augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. For instance, artificial intelligence and machine learning could handle te
