Our human experience, like the World War II Ultra code-breaking machine, catches the heavy traffic of messages about what we really do and what is done to us every day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.
We are bombarded on all sides by a vast number of messages we don't want or need. More information is generated in a single day than we can absorb in a lifetime. To fully enjoy life, all of us must find our own breathing space and peace of mind.
We're making progress, but getting machines to replicate our ability to perceive and manipulate the world remains incredibly hard.
We are living in a world where everything is based on security.
We're living in a high-tech world. So much of our stimulus and entertainment comes from things that are quite abstract and disembodied.
We are moving rapidly into a world in which the spying machinery is built into every object we encounter.
We fight wars from progressively great heights and distances, the blessings of technology steadily removing the personal human element from what was historically an extremely personal experience.
It's reasonable to say that certain things we understand should perhaps have limits on how they're used and how certain technologies are deployed. That's very much what we should do as a society.
The Internet - central to modern life - provides new ways for our enemies to plan and act against us.
Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention - phones, Internet - and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present.
