Singularity
This article about singularity and the changes we could very well face in the near future had some very interesting concepts. Technology is a rapidly changing essential that is being relied upon in every day to day tasks. Not only is it something that continues to progress, it continues to progress, faster every time, "Computers are getting faster. Everybody knows that. Also, computers are getting faster faster." As we begin to advance into very advanced fors if machines and Artificial intelligence, the human might as well begin to be obsolete. Computers have been known to create music since the mid 1960's. I believe that there are somethings that computers should not be making. Music being one of them. Music is something that comes from your heart and soul, not from your hard-drive.s said earlier, technology is about to start progressing very fast as we develop more sophisticated forms of it. Man-kind might very well have to merge with it if it is to survive. Although i believe there are many ups and downs to this concept, we may well have to merge in order to sustain the human race. Like in the article, "we could become super intelligent cyborgs", or the very same A.I we create as technology inevitably expands, could also turn against us and annihilate us. If it is safe to say this is going to happen, man merging with machine, there will some time where the machine will grow far more powerful than the human can ever be, and will make us, the humans, work for the benefit of technology. Relating to Brave New World, in the story the main purpose of the people are to serve the machines that help create them and make them "happy". In the end, I ask myself, can we really create something that is smarter than us? If so, how do we do that if we don't have the brain power to think smarter than us?
