In preparation for this assignment, I have read weekly readings and listened to podcasts. Please find below the quotes from the readings that have inspired me to speculate about the use of technology in the future. The applications I have developed are both related to the healthcare industry and AI.
“We will probably have an AI family doctor on our smartphone years before we have a reliable nurse robot” (Hariri, 2017, p. 335).

“Just as aeroplanes fly faster than birds without ever developing feathers, so computers could come to solve problems and even to analyse human feelings much better than humans, without ever developing feelings” (Hariri, 2017, p. 335).
