Watch The Top 10 Most Unintended Side Effects of Newly Emerging Technologies
10. Driverless Cars
The future is all about the cars having no drivers. Many companies are working on this technology to be popular very soon. The question here arises about the programming of the car when it has to choose between the safety of the civilians and the riders. Many people would prefer the safety of the civilians but at the same time, they wouldn’t like to buy a car which would compromise their own safety.
9. Virtual Reality
The new technology can lead to mental and psychological disorders. Virtual Reality is an emerging technology having negative impacts on the health of the people. It is being feared that the technology would be so much addictive that the people would not be able to differentiate between the reality and virtual reality.
8. Using of Drones
The drone technology is becoming popular every day. The days have gone when drones were huge in size and used only for military purposes. Now a days, small drones are available in stores for the civilian use. Amazon is planning to deliver its products to the customers by drones. The problem with the drones is its constant buzzing sound which could drive anyone crazy if the drones become popular in the future. The sound would become a constant part of our life if the drones become common for civilian use.
7. Solar and Wind Farms
Solar and wind power is considered the cleanest and most sustainable energy but the technology also has some side effects. The wind farms can kill a lot of wildlife specially birds. Similarly, solar farms are also considered to be harmful for birds because birds would consider a solar farm a lake and would ignite while flying towards it. The solutions for these problems are yet to be found.
