Last week, in Mr.Pete's ICT class, we watched a video called Transcendent Man. This video took about an hour and a half and it was one of the most important technological videos I've ever seen. This video did not just explain about the new technologies today and how it's improving, but how future will change, how future will deal with technology, how technology will improve and maybe even kill lives, and much more. This was a video based on the ideas of a man named "Ray Kurzweil".This man started his young age successfully, getting Bachelor of Science degree in MIT. When he was young, he owned successful companies. One of them was selling computer programs. Now he's a futurist - a person who thinks about the future and tries to predict the future.
Ray Kurzweil stated that the world would change in many ways. One example was that humans would eventually become synthetic and less biological. We would become much more like robots than ordinary human beings. Kurzweil thinks this is inevitable and there are many debatable topics about this. He thinks this is possible because in the future, they'll be able to create nanobots, which can effectively live on our red blood cells. Even if they don't live in our body, on the outside world, there will be robots. Now many people agree and disagree with this. Some people think this will be extremely effective and will help humankind get smarter and possibly improve life. Some people think synthetic beings will look down on humans eventually and will look at us like we're insects and kill us. Both of these are possibilities, that's why for now, they're not changing humankind.
This is important to remember because this could be the changing factor of your life, your children's lives, your grandchildren's life, and so on. Technology has made it easy for mankind. It also proved to be dangerous and used for business. People today have computers to play games, watch their favorite videos, listen to music, chat, and all those stuff all because of technology. In a hundred years time, they can probably just think it in their heads and they'll get the full song instantly. That's how rapid technology is going to evolve. In my opinion, the nanobot thing is all great but why would we need to improve technology so fast? We humans cannot get to the point that we're so lazy that we don't need to type to search up something. Maybe if it were to help our body function work better, it'll be fine but unlimited age is NOT acceptable. People have to die so that new generations can come and live or else it'll be overpopulated (which the world ALREADY is).
I've learned that human technology is going to improve and change everyone's life and it cannot be changed. I learned that everything is possible with technology and technology will go against nature's law such as death and survival of the fittest. I also actually learned that nanobots do exist and can prove to be very useful, but would effectively increase the laziness of humans and would be too easy to do anything. All the smart people, all the musicians, and all these people with special talents that you look up to have special talents and with these technologies, all that would be pointless.So in my opinion, we should wait a lot longer, until we find another planet that humans can live on. When we reach the point to be able to go to another planet and live there, we can certainly try combining humans with machines.
