Execução: Fundatec 512_CE_59_NS_30/5/201918:02:22 Instruction: Answer questions 31 to 40 based on the following text. Read the comments and think of the children: 10 rules for life online Ignoring the comments hasn't worked so far, and listening to the next generation is a great forecasting tool. Here are WIRED's ten rules for a more mindful tech existence 01 We used to think that everything on the internet was permanent, that you should never 02 read the comments, and that it was impossible to dry your hands sufficiently with just one paper 03 towel. But as times change, so our thinking evolves. 04 1. The numbers are wrong 05 Every technological statistic is a lie. The true number of your social media followers, YouTube 06 viewers or online readers: all wrong. <> is real and everything is a fraud. Might as well ignore 07 them all. 08 2. Read the comments 09 The comments are always terrible. They contain the worst of humanity, on ___ worst day. But 10 ignoring them hasn’t worked, and now we find ourselves facing actual Nazis again. Read the 11 comments. Stare into the abyss. Know the enemy before it surprises us again. 12 3. Everything is contagious 13 As everything turns into software, and every piece of software gains new features, it follows that 14 sooner or later everything will be either the cause or target of a malware attack. All our stuff can 15 get sick now. Take precautions with your digital stuff, just as you would with own child. 16 4. Any sufficiently advanced AI is indistinguishable from outsourcing 17 If that cool AI-based service could be conceivably built with a room full of cheap interns 18 pretending to be machines, it will have been. People are cheap, technology is hard, and treating 19 people as technology is going to be the root of many of the ethical decisions businesses will face 20 this coming decade. 21 5. Insurance trumps technology 22 Just because you can do something doesn’t mean it works within the rest of society. For that you 23 need regulation, standards and, most importantly, insurance. Every major new technology, from 24 cheap space travel to self-driving cars, relies not on engineering genius but on insurance 25 companies’ good will. 26 6. The internet forgets everything eventually 27 We used to think that the internet never forgot. If an embarrassing image escaped onto the web, 28 it would be there forever. This isn’t true. Old sites disappear. Links rot. Search rankings fade 29 away. Do not rely on the permanence of data (but do not despair if something lingers, either). 30 7. Just because you call it disruptive doesn’t mean it is 31 Watch out for technologies that seem to be innovative and disruptive but actually just add an 32 incremental veneer of technology to a declining industry. Self-driving cars aren’t disruptive. Bike 33 lanes and office showers are. 34 8. Crowd source your knowledge 35 The way you learnt how to do pretty much everything – from tying your shoelaces to chopping 36 vegetables – was probably taught by someone who didn't have access to the best technique. 37 Thanks to the internet, you now do. There's a TED Talk about how to correctly dry your hands. 38 ___ life-changing. 39 9. Diversity is a superpower 40 Every single study on the efficacy of thought, the creative process, the ability to learn, the quality 41 of new ideas or even the longevity of a healthy brain has shown the same thing: diversity is key. 42 Fill yourself with ideas from elsewhere and surround yourself with people from elsewhere; the 43 weirder (to you) the better. 44 10. Seriously, think of the children 45 If we met our forebears, even from not too long ago, we'd likely find they held views that we find 46 abhorrent today. Social attitudes change. When you make a decision, ask: will my great- 47 grandchildren look back on this with disgust? This is both an act of moral mindfulness and a great 48 forecasting tool for future trends.
