I agree with Carr. Our reliance on technology becomes stronger and stronger overtime As technology advances people start to rely more on technology for their problems like driving, cooking, flying a plane, getting directions, and many more but because of this many people abuse technology thinking that the programs will do everything and trusting the technology even though it might be incorrect. In Carr’s article he mentions the tragic incidents of the plane crashes the Bombardier Q400 which killed 49 people on the plane and one person on the ground, and the Buffalo crash of an Air France Airbus A330 which killed all 228 passengers and crew members on board. The reason for these crashes were because of the pilots  and their lack of situational awareness the pilots relied on the auto pilot and when there was an error the pilots panicked and did not know what to do eventually causing the plane to crash. If the pilots paid more attention to their surroundings and stayed calm like they are supposed to they could have found a way to prevent the crash. I know people tend to rely on technology because i am one of them but in order to fix this i think people should rely on themselves and learn with the technology.

I believe its a matter of improving the skills of the workers because even though technologies can make life easy it can also make many mistakes and if workers work alongside technology we can help if something goes wrong with the technology if it crashes or malfunctions because we as humans can change decisions based on the situation while on the other hand technology just does what its programmed to do. For example about the planes and pilots if the pilots had paid more attention to what was happening alongside their autopilot and stayed calm they would have found possible ways to save the plane this shows that even though technology does make life easy it is also important for us to work with it and not just rely on it.

This does relate to the concerns of technology taking jobs because if technology becomes more advanced it will be able to do more things making it easy to take over jobs. For example now people are making self driving cars if this becomes more advanced jobs like UBER,LYFT, and cab drivers will loose their jobs. One good example of technology taking over jobs is In some places in Asia convenience store are self automated and there are no workers another one is an amazon convenience store that has cameras and other technologies that makes it possible for people to just enter take what they want and leave and the bills will be placed on their bank account accurately based on what they took. This is a prime example of how advancement of technology can take jobs.

An alternative approach that i can think of is to Work alongside with technology and have a distinction on what each can do to make things better and easier or have certain jobs on what humans can do and what technologies can do.

BONUS: I am very reliant on Technology i cant imagine my life without all the technologies we have available today. For example technologies helps me cook, do my school work, send emails/messages, gives me directions, stores information etc. If you were to take that away from me i would be lost i would not be able to remember any of my contact informations, get lost going to my destination and more. I interact with technologies 24/7 if i am bored i use technology, if i need to study and do work i use technology, if i need to make appointments i use technology, if i want to sleep i use technology.
