The City of Tomorrow

Imagine a city that takes care of you. This is the promise of the Smart City. By using advanced sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can optimize our lives. Traffic lights can adjust automatically to stop jams, meaning you get home to your family faster.

Text B

While technology sounds nice, Smart Cities are actually a dangerous trap. To work, the city must watch everything you do. Cameras record your face, and sensors track your phone. This constant surveillance is invasive. It feels like living in a prison where you have no privacy.

Moreover, connecting everything to the internet is risky. If a hacker attacks the city’s computer, they could turn off the water, stop the trains, or unlock your house. The convenience is not worth the high price of our freedom. We must be very skeptical of these plans.
