What happens when our modern marvels falter under the weight of their own reliance? Recently, a widespread power outage in San Francisco brought Waymo’s self-driving taxis to a halt, creating a surreal tableau of stranded technology amidst the chaos of human traffic. This incident not only disrupted the flow of the city but also raised profound questions about our dependence on automation. As I navigated my daily routine, I couldn't help but ponder: are we the masters of our inventions or have we become their prisoners? In moments like these, the intersection of humanity and technology blurs, revealing the fragility of our sophisticated systems. Perhaps this outage serves as a reminder of our need for balance, urging us to blend innovation with resilience. Are we prepared for the moments when our creations fail? https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/24/%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%82%d8%b7%d8%a7%d8%b9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%83%d9%87%d8%b1%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%a1-%d9%8a%d8%b4%d9
