I feel that some of the views and opinions that was shared from the article makes some very valid points as to why the future doesn't need us. I agree with most points but not all of them. Just because some of the things exist doesn't mean that things can and will go downhill and things can fall apart. But at the same time you should have realistic thinking and plan for the future in case something unfortunately comes up.

A reason why I agree that the future won’t need us is that how far things such as technology have advanced and improved over the years. Things have taken off in ways that people would have never imagined years ago and the good thing about it is that things will continue to get better. With that being said, the fact that things will improve or even come about could mean less and less of a need for things that we could have been using for years, Things could become useless with improvements as well as advancements. It is a good thing for things that needed to be improved but bad for things that we rely on now as everyday things and then they will become useless and go towards other things. Things could then develop a mind for themselves and make us as the humans useless. They would not have the need for us even though we were the ones to develop these sort of things. That is likely but at the same time I don’t think it will be the end all be all thing that proves that the future won’t need us.

Why I feel that the future still has a huge need for us is because the future would not be possible if not for us. Certain things that we have would not be around if it was not for us and the creative minds that made those things come to past. The future needs us more than people would think. To think about how far things have become and how much better things have been it would not be possible if it were not for us. How we can order food, explore the internet, call a friend, watch tv, play games, none would be possible if not for us as the humans. We made those things happen and because of that we are needed to keep things in check while at the same time keep bringing improvements.
