| Abstract: | We have the technology to turn night into day, to create entirely new worlds, to conquer the seas, the skies, and even to begin foraying into space. The ingenious minds of engineers, developers, and inventors have brought robots, AI, and VR to life. While the arts might not seem to have anything to add in this regard, it is the writers, musicians, and artists that invite us to reflect (and who entertain us) about our relationship with technology. We decided to take a look at a particular story related to technology… 'There Will Come Soft Rains', is a short story written by Ray Bradbury, originally published in 1950 as part of his collection of short stories titled The Martian Chronicles. The story begins with an automated house announcing ‘Today is August 4, 2026, today is August 4, 2026,’ before it begins its daily routine. [excerpt] |
