Future Times

CARLOS MARIO PASCUAS BALAGUERA

1. Read the following text and share your opinion to your classmates. 
Future has always been on people’s imagination. To think about technology is to think about the
future. It is, unavoidably, to speculate and to predict, to imagine how our lives might be affected by
new tools, new methods, and new powers. Most arguments about technology are therefore really
arguments about the future. They give voice to different sorts of expectations about progress and
change, and to different sorts of intuitions about the character of human life. The particular
technology being debated is often secondary to these larger much-disputed themes, and the public
debate is shaped by different ways of imagining the future at least as much as by the specific
technical potential of a new device or technique
