It turns out that something has been watching the Earth in minute detail since before the solar system was formed, down to a sub molecular level. It can give you the answers to any historical questions, but not things like what someone was thinking or feeling.
All the world’s problems have been solved, and the information is only used with the strictest privacy, e.g. you can only get information on living people with their permission, or if you’re a member of law enforcement solving a crime.
The question is, if you have a hobby, job, or other reason to research the past, like being a geologist or genealogist, would you take the answers, or would you prefer to do the research yourself?
(I almost though this is a One Piece bait question.)
But seriously, yes I will, without hesitation. If I don’t take it, someone else might and I won’t even have a job as a geologist or genealogist.
I haven’t seen enough of One Piece to ask bait questions yet, I’m only half way through the Netflix series :)
I was thinking that jobs would be one of the solved problems, as in you only have to work if you want to. I’m more curious about whether people would prefer to do the research because they enjoy it, or if they’d rather just tell the computer to give them their full family tree, for example.
