To celebrate KEE Club’s 15th anniversary and in collaboration with Science rendez-vous, we are launching a series of events under the theme, Odyssey to the Future. The discussion topic of the upcoming event is The Time of Technology: What is left to Human Beings? In the 21st century, all we seem to be hearing about is the impending world revolution driven by artificial intelligence and robotics. With the rapid advance of technology comes great concern on ethical responsibilities and the future for humans; this makes us wonder: what is left for us when computers become impeccable?
Topic:
Where do we go?
The last few years have been a boom for humanity's interest in Space. From the first commercial space flights offer to astronauts eating food they grew themselves on the International Space Station, from unmanned rockets flying into space and retuning to a platform at sea to space probe named Rosetta landing on a comet, to the existence of a livable planet discovered at 'only' 4.2 light years away of the earth, and so much more taking us into a Space Odyssey.
Could space become 'the next frontier'? Is the future of humanity with global warming and potential conflict in need of safe haven? Is space colonization possible?
