The 25 year bet about technology

 

• Who is Kevin Kelly? Kevin Kelly is an executive editor and resident techno optimist.

• Who is Patrick Sale? Sale seemed to be an author who wrote books.
• Describe the chief conflict between the two men. Kevin Kelly wants to ambush Mr. Sale He also hated Sale's book.
• What was the bet they made?  He bet $1,000 that in the year 2020, that they weren't even close to the kind of disaster he was thinking.
• How did the bet go in the three areas measured?
• • Economic Collapse Kelly stated that society will get bigger but Sale argued it'll collapse 
  • Global Environmental Disaster Kelly said that technology stuff would help the environment, While Sale stated it will cause damage to the environment.
  • The War Between Rich and Poor Kelly waned to focus on social progress in the world. Sale betted that it will start high conflict.
• Do you agree with the verdict of the judge who settled the bet? Why or why not? I do, both Kelly and Sale made both good statements but i agree with more on Sale because the fact Kelly wanted to ambush seems a bit much and Sale didn't really take shots like that also says a lot.
• What other areas SHOULD the bet have covered? If you were making a similar bet for the NEXT 25 years. what areas would you include for judgment? I feel like it should have covered more of the people that it'll affect. i Would judge the amount of electric cars and how its bad if i was making a bet.
• What changes do you think the next 25 years will bring? I think that with technology there will be flying cars made and i can also see a teleporter being made by apple or even the genius himself, Elon Musk.
