Nowadays, new technologies had already taken a large part of our life. When people go up the street they can see a lot of people have a smart phone with them; when people walk into an office, they can see there is a computer on each table; when people step into a factory, they can see a lot of machines are working instead of human; when people visit a research center, they can see a lot of new technologies had made big contributes to a lot of significant research and helped human a lot. The new technologies had brought significant changes to our life. However, when we enjoying the benefits that new technologies brought to us, we should also notice that new technologies also pose some significant risk in our life, we should figure out these threats, notice these threats and find some solutions for these threats.   

In an interview with Hawking by BBC, Prof. Hawking spoke out his fears.  As he is a beneficiary of new technologies, he knows well about new technologies. In the interview, he said that “even the new technologies had brought us a lot of benefits, but as the human are limited by slow biological evolution, there is great opportunity that the new technologies will creating something that can match or surpass humans and threaten human in the future” (Hawking). In the research of Dr. Maurer, a Professor of Computer Science at the Graz University of Technology, he said that “as we depend heavily on technologies and this reduces people’s ability of thinking” (Maurer). It is true that we received a lot of benefits from the development of new technologies, however, we should also realize that new technologies will bring us some consequences and threats to human in the future if we didn’t notice that and take no measures to prevent it.  When we enjoy the benefits that new technologies brought to us, we should also realize that new technologies will pose some threats to us in the future. 

If we want to prevent these threatens, we need to figure out what kind of threats the new technologies will bring to us. Once we make sure these threats we could find that most efficient way to solve these problems. In the research of Jakub Złotowski, a postdoctoral research fellow in the ‘Applied Social Psychology and Gender Research' group at the Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC), he said that there are two significant threatens that the new technologies will bring to us, which are realistic threats and identify threats (Złotowski). One of them is called realistic threats, which means new technologies may snatch people’s jobs as well as resources, to some extent, new technologies will also bring some safety threats to human. And another one is called identify threats. This threaten will threats human identify and distinctiveness refers to that new technologies will pose threats to people’s uniqueness and values as the machines imitates more and more like humans. In conclusion, the new technologies will pose two threats to all human beings, one of them is realistic threats, which means the threats to human jobs and safety, and another one is identify threats which means the threats to human identify and distinctiveness. As we learned that new technologies will bring realistic and identify threats to human beings, we could find some specific and efficient ways to reduce the risk of these threats. 

As the development of technologies, one of the realistic threats we are facing right now is that new technologies are stealing our job. When you went into a manufacturing factor, you will find that there are lots of machines are working instead of people. As more and more robots, automation, and software put into use in a lot of fields, a lot of people who has traditional occupations like teachers, drivers, travel agents, interpreters and a slew of other occupations are facing the biggest career challenge ever. According to the data from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 1980 to 2014, workers’ share of output drop from nearly 58% to just over 52%. This data also makes a lot of people believe that the importance of labor is slowly decreasing (Jones). It seems that the technology is going to replace human in a lot of working field in the future, and human had already in a very serious situation. However, does this situation really as tense as people imagine? The answer is no. In a recent research of Dr. Michael Jones, an assistant professor in economics at the University of Cincinnati, he argues that even the data shows that the net labor share in United States has decreased over time, the most recently data in 2008 shows the share was the same as it was in 1975, when technologies did not take a large part in a lot of output (Jones). Which means new technologies is not the major reason for the decreasing of the net labor share. Dr. Jones also pointed out the major reason for the fallen of net labor share is the changes of production taxes rather than the use of technologies (Jones). It seems that it is technologies stealing our jobs, however, technologies are not the major reason for the decreasing of net labor share. Not only the new technologies are not the major reason for the fallen of net labor share, but also new technologies are creating more jobs. In the article of Ben Dickson, he said that the development for new technologies is fast, in the process of this development new technologies will creates more jobs in the Tech field and increase the demand of Tech talents. Meanwhile, the technologies and human are complement. Human have limits in some area as well as machines. We should find a balance between human and technologies, and make human and technology help each other. This is the most important topic for scientist and engineers to research. 

Another realistic threat we are facing right now is that the new technologies are threats our safety. One of the biggest threat we are facing in recent days is that new technologies are going to pose threatens on people’s information safety. As the internet is using more and more widely in our daily life, we put more and more information about ourselves on the internet, like the information about our credit card, address, and some other private information. We can’t avoid some snoopers, not only human but also some program, will peep our information and use these information to commit crime and threats our safety. However, we already found a lot of ways to solve this problem. The article in The Guardian gives us some solutions and advices for us to solve this problem. In the article, the author John Naughton suggests us several ways to keep our information safe. The article told us that we should pay attention to the things we casually use, like email, web browsing, wireless services and other seven tools we use every day (Naughton). He also gives some specific solutions to solve this threats. By doing what he suggests in this article, we could ensure the safety of our information. Not only ourselves are fighting for our information safety, but also a lot of programmer are also fighting with us. More and more powerful secure firewall and anti-virus software are designed to guarantee the safety of our information. With the effort of ourselves and programmers, our information will be more safe in the future. 

In the future, with further evolution of the technology, we are going to face more identify threats. One of the identify threats we are going to face is that technologies will influence people’s value. As the technologies develops so fast, they can do more and more human jobs and in the article of Douglas Schmidt, the Associate Chair of Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, he said that we are losing human values as the new technologies develop, because the new technologies are doing more and more things like calculating, working and thinking for us (Schmidt). Meanwhile, these technologies will never feel tired or get sick. With their fast pace of evolution and fast computing power, technologies are going to be more powerful and stronger in the future. Some advanced technologies had already challenge human value and ability. For example, Alpha Go, the artificial intelligence board game program, defeated the No.1 human chess player, Ke jie, in this summer. Due to the quick calculating speed, human rely heavily on new technologies like computers, internet and so on. However, at the same time, these new technologies are also destroying the value of human. But In the article of Zeynep Tufekci, a techno-sociologist who primarily writes about the effect of technology on politics and society, she said that “The problem is not us versus the machines, but between us, as humans, and how we value one another” (Tufekci). It is true that technologies have a lot of advantages which human don’t have and a lot of abilities which are very difficult for human to reach. But we still have a lot of things which these machines and technologies don’t have. When Ke jie finished the competition with Alpha Go, he said that even he lost this competition he does not admire Alpha Go, because Alpha Go never enjoyed the interest of Go. As human, even we have a lot of shortcomings and we are not perfect, but we still have a lot of features which technologies do not have. To defeat technologies and do not let technologies replace us, we need to learn to value ourselves, value each other. If everyone could find the value of each other and themselves, they will be very hard to be replaced because they are unique. 

The identify threats we are going to facing not only include the threats to people’s value, but also include the threats to people’s distinctness. A lot of scientist in United States, Japan, Germany and many other countries devoted themselves in researching Simulation Robots. Some of these scientists had already made big breakthrough in this field, some very realistic robot had already been produced. In the future, with the development of technologies, more Simulation Robots even Super Emulation Robot will be produced in the future. Although it is going to be a very magic and interesting experience to have a Robert who looks like you very much, it is also going to be very wired if someone have the exactly same appearance with you doing exactly same thing like you do and think exactly same thing as you think. Not only you will feel very weird, this is also going to make chaos in our society. However, even these robots are very realistic, but they are still different with the real people. Recently, BBC made an analysis according to the research of the Cambridge University’s researchers Michael Osborne and Carl Frey. They analyzed the probability of 365 kinds of occupations will be replaced in the future. According to this research we can find that the probability of the probability that the artist and some creative industry will be replaced by the machine is very low (Stylianou). Which means that machines are not good at creative which human are expert in. Real people think by their brain and these robots think through programs. Brain can be very creative but the programs cannot. The real human can be very creative and create different thing to make this world more interesting. However, the robots could only think through the program, they could only do what the program told them to do. In another word, the robots do not have their own life. The cannot completely enjoy the life as the real human can. This small difference makes the robots are different from the real human. Even Simulation Robots and Super Emulation Robot can like human very much. However, they could not be real human, and this point help assures the distinctness of human. When human research the Simulation Robots, we still need to know that human need distinctness and we should always remember this point during our research and invention. 

Above all, the development of technology is so fast and brought us a lot of benefits in our life. However, it is necessary for all human to notice that technologies can also bring us a lot of threats and we also need to find some solution to mitigate the crisis that technology will bring to us in the future. The major threats that new technologies pose in our life are realistic threats and identify threats. For realistic threats, new technologies are going to decrease the amount of jobs, and threats people’s information safety. However, technologies are not the major reason for the decreasing of the workers’ share of output and it is very important for us to find a balance between human and technologies. For the information threaten, we could do something to keep our information safe and there are also a lot of programmers are fighting with us to guarantee the safety of our information. For identify threats, new technologies are going to threats human value and distinctness. If we could realize the value of the human and the value of one another and we could cherish the value of each other, the threats of technologies will not be that scared. No matter how realizes a robot can be, it is still a robot. They think through programs rather than their own mind. They will never enjoy the real emotions and because of this they already lose to human. It seems scared that new technologies are getting more and more powerful and stronger, but if we could notice this phenomenon and find some solutions as soon as possible, these questions and threats can be solved and the future will not be as terrible as some people afraid of. As we notice the threats of new technologies sooner, we could find more effective solutions quicker and the threats of new technologies will weaker.
