    CrazyMike got a reaction from mallenwho in Linus' Economic Synthetic Revolution Topic.   
    I personally feel that Robots as good as they are for production and product ending cost is a good thing, I am not a supporter for allowing technology taking over our lives. I believe that technology hinders on a humans capability to learn and function. 
     
    Examples:
     
    A person who always types (either on PC or smartphone) might not necessarily have the best spelling, punctuation or grammar skills. When a person can just easily use Spell-check and Auto-correct when typing, that person doesn't really pay attention for the correction that is being placed. That person may just take for granted that if that person spells or writes a sentence wrong, the computer will fix it. 
     
    A person that grows up with GPS or self driving car can have a hindrance in being self aware with directions. A person can become reliant on the GPS or self driving car, not actually comprehending on how to get to a location. 
     
    Many people see these as "well why would we need to learn or know how to do that when there is technology there to do it for us?". I see from my perspective that by not knowing or learning how to do something allows a person IQ of function to be loss. So by having Robotics and technologies become more and more into our lives maybe a good thing for convenience, comfort and cost effective, I believe in the long run it hinders on the basic knowledge that must be maintained. 
     
    Short and sweet version : I feel like the advancement of technology and Robotics is making our society stupid.

    CrazyMike got a reaction from MSI_PC_GAMER in New To the Linus Forums   
    Hey all,
    Name is Mike. I'm brand new to these forums. I'm actually a member over at a different forum as well, but thought seeing as I watch LinusTechTips all the time, figured I'd hop on over here and offer any knowledge I have. Linus is a great guy and I support him all the way (even if he is from BC :rolleyes: ). So it's going to take me a bit to get familiarized with this forum. The one I am usually on is quite different for set up and navigation. Any help from you ladies and gents for any rules or regulations would be greatly appreciated.
    As for me and my knowledge:
    I am not the type of person you would see on the streets and expect to have knowledge about computers. I mainly am into the hardware side of things, but quite experienced in the software side as well (not specifically coding). I still classify myself as a "newbie" and still learning many other attributes with computing.
    As for my setup:
    My laptop is a Dell XPS specs are as follows:

    17" 1920 x 1080 3D capable
    Intel i7 - 2720QM
    NVIDIA GeForce 555M Graphics 3D Vision
    16GB RAM
    x2 500GB HDD
    JBL Audio
    Razer Orchi Mouse

    My Desktop specs are as follows:

    Corsair 600T White Edition
    Asus P8Z77-V-Pro Motherboard
    16GB G-Skill Sniper series RAM
    Asus GTX 660Ti 2GB Graphics Card
    Intel i7-3770K (original clock right now)
    Corsair TX850 Power Supply
    120GB OCZ Agillity SSD; 500GB WD HDD; 1TB WD Black HDD; 500GB WD HDD (external)
    Swiftech H220 CPU Cooler
    24" Asus VW266H Monitor
    51" Samsung Smart TV
    SteelSeries Merc Keyboard
    Razer Deathadder Mouse

    Some Pictures of my Desktop and workspace:



    So I would like to thank you guys for welcoming me to the forum. I hope to serve some help with any questions that I find on here :D
    P.s If Linus reads any of this: "Keep up the good work bro!"
