Hello No. 40 October 2018: The Evolution of Technology and Its Impact on Humanity The world we live in today is vastly different from the one our parents or grandparents grew up in. With each passing year, technology advances at an exponential rate, changing the way we live, work, and communicate. This issue of Hello No. 40 October 2018 delves into the evolution of technology and its impact on humanity, exploring how it has shaped our society and what the future may hold. The article begins by discussing the rapid pace of technological progress, noting that "the rate of technological change has accelerated to such an extent that it has become difficult to keep track of all the new developments" (p. 3). This is evident in the rise of artificial intelligence, which has enabled machines to perform tasks previously thought to be the exclusive domain of humans. However, this progress has also led to concerns about job loss and the potential for AI to replace human workers. One of the most significant impacts of technology on humanity has been the ability to connect with others across the globe. Social media platforms have revolutionized the way we interact with one another, allowing us to form communities and networks that transcend geographical boundaries.
