Read the comments and think of the children: 10 rules for life online
Ignoring the comments hasn't worked so far, and listening to the next generation is a great forecasting tool. Here are WIRED's ten rules for a more mindful tech existence
- We used to think that everything on the internet was permanent, that you should never
- read the comments, and that it was impossible to dry your hands sufficiently with just one paper
- towel. But as times change, so our thinking evolves.
- 1. The numbers are wrong
- Every technological statistic is a lie. The true number of your social media followers, YouTube
- viewers or online readers: all wrong. <> is real and everything is a fraud. Might as well ignore
- them all.
- 2. Read the comments
- The comments are always terrible. They contain the worst of humanity, on ___ worst day. But
- ignoring them hasn’t worked, and now we find ourselves facing actual Nazis again. Read the
- comments. Stare into the abyss. Know the enemy before it surprises us again.
- 3. Everything is contagious
- As everything turns into software, and every piece of software gains new features, it follows that
- sooner or later everything will be either the cause or target of a malware attack. All our stuff can
- get sick now. Take precautions with your digital stuff, just as you would with ____ own child.
- 4. Any sufficiently advanced AI is indistinguishable from outsourcing
- If that cool AI-based service could be conceivably built with a room full of cheap interns
- pretending to be machines, it will have been. People are cheap, technology is hard, and treating
- people as technology is going to be the root of many of the ethical decisions businesses will face
- this coming decade.
- 5. Insurance trumps technology
- Just because you can do something doesn’t mean it works within the rest of society. For that you
- need regulation, standards and, most importantly, insurance. Every major new technology, from
- cheap space travel to self-driving cars, relies not on engineering genius but on insurance
- companies’ good will.
- 6. The internet forgets everything eventually
- We used to think that the internet never forgot. If an embarrassing image escaped onto the web,
- it would be there forever. This isn’t true. Old sites disappear. Links rot. Search rankings fade
- away. Do not rely on the permanence of data (but do not despair if something lingers, either).
- 7. Just because you call it disruptive doesn’t mean it is
- Watch out for technologies that seem to be innovative and disruptive but actually just add an
- incremental veneer of technology to a declining industry. Self-driving cars aren’t disruptive. Bike
- lanes and office showers are.
- 8. Crowd source your knowledge
- The way you learnt how to do pretty much everything – from tying your shoelaces to chopping
- vegetables – was probably taught by someone who didn't have access to the best technique.
- Thanks to the internet, you now do. There's a TED Talk about how to correctly dry your hands.
- ___ life-changing.
- 9. Diversity is a superpower
- Every single study on the efficacy of thought, the creative process, the ability to learn, the quality
- of new ideas or even the longevity of a healthy brain has shown the same thing: diversity is key.
- Fill yourself with ideas from elsewhere and surround yourself with people from elsewhere; the
- weirder (to you) the better.
- 10. Seriously, think of the children
- If we met our forebears, even from not too long ago, we'd likely find they held views that we find
- abhorrent today. Social attitudes change. When you make a decision, ask: will my great-
- grandchildren look back on this with disgust? This is both an act of moral mindfulness and a great
- forecasting tool for future trends.
