The increasing automation of tasks can have unforeseen consequences, limiting human potential and creating a dangerous dependence on machines.
In The Glass Cage, Nicholas Carr explores the implications of automation on our lives, both at work and at home. He argues that while automation can improve efficiency and productivity, it can also lead to a loss of skills, autonomy, and creativity. Drawing on research from a variety of fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and engineering, Carr makes the case for a more thoughtful approach to automation that takes into account its potential impacts on our well-being and society as a whole.
