5 Engineers: Does the future excite you or terrify you?
Suzanne Deffree - January 18, 2013
Welcome to our 5 Engineers section, part of this blog and our Fun Friday newsletter, where we toss out a question and invite our audience to respond with their wittiest answers.In October 2012, we asked readers of 5 Engineers what question they would like thrown out to the group for response.
Last week we shared the first of these questions: Why is it that engineers haven't taken over the world by now? Nearly 100 comments have been posted so far. Post yours here.
This week we’re featuring another question, this one from reader npitech:
Cameras everywhere, drones overhead, GPS locators in our phones and cars, facial recognition software, and digital records of everything: Does the future excite you or terrify you?
Post your short answer to the question below, or share your own question here and we’ll consider it for future 5 Engineers posts.
