- Just What Do You Think You're Doing, Dave?; 2013
- Description
- Jo Ellen Parker's essay explores the concept of "moral panic" related to new technologies, using historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how innovations such as electric lighting, the telegraph, and internet have triggered societal fears, particularly regarding their impacts on time, space, and human relationships. Parker discusses anthropologist Genevieve Bell's hypothesis on technology-induced moral panic and extends the discussion to artificial intelligence, using the Turing test and cultural representations of AI to ponder the evolving relationship between humans and technology, and how these advancements challenge our understanding of humanity.
