Considering the speed at which technology evolves today, all of us need to clarify its implications for our lives. Do we consider it a threat, or do we think technological devices are great tools for our development? The enlightening and magnificent book Evolution Continues: A Human-Computer Partnership by William Meisel helps us take stock of the situation. The author clarifies that technology has always influenced changes for humans and makes us reflect on how tools have always been used to extend the capabilities of our body and brain. Artificial intelligence, language, ethics, education, and economics are just some of the themes explored in this book that will open readers' minds to new horizons.

Technology is now an integral part of our life, but I think it is the speed with which it changes that very often generates suspicion. Evolution Continues helps the reader shed light on the use of technology and how it can enhance our lives. I liked that William Meisel lingered on many aspects of society that technology can help improve. In particular, I was struck by the reflection on education and how technology can help make it more affordable for everyone. Furthermore, I appreciated the detailed explanation of consciousness and the possibility of computers experiencing it. Evolution Continues is a complex book that will offer the reader much food for thought. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about a topic of such great importance to us all.

Evolution Continues: A Human-Computer Partnership by William Meisel explores the relationship between computers and humans as the former develop at a dizzying pace, so much so that some experts warn of computers becoming a threat to human existence. The author is an expert on the subject and his book is an eye-opener, even for those with limited knowledge of computers and how they work. The book examines several subjects like artificial intelligence, robots, digital assistants, and the brain. Definition of the terms certainly helps in our understanding of computer technology and the way it has dramatically changed the way we live. If you are one of those people who believe that computers will soon replace humans in the workforce, resulting in the loss of many jobs and that they may even rule the world, this book is a must-read.

William Meisel writes about a human-computer relationship that is evolving rapidly and points out that a partnership can be formed to get things done in an orderly fashion. He foresees a future where humans grow up with digital assistants and they will consider these computers as an extension of themselves. The evolution of humanity is no longer as slow as Darwin’s theory would indicate. It is being hastened by the availability of computers, which should be considered a valuable tool, not a threat to human survival. There is no denying the fact that the swift change in the way we live can be scary for many people. This is a book that gives a positive take on the human-computer relationship and it makes perfect sense. I highly recommend Evolution Continues to readers of all ages!
