INTRODUCTION:
Humans should
accept the fact that merging with machines is going to happen. Of course, the
thought of merging with machines is scary for most people but this is the
beginning of a new journey for the entire world. According to Lev Grossman,
This has to happen because this new technology can bring us as humans to higher
levels in our own world.
Billions
and billions of dollars have gone towards the development of technology. The
merging of humans and machines is not something that may be wanted, but it will
happen. The next big thing is for humans to merge with machines and there is no
way to stop is now.
DETAILS:
Technology is developing so quickly and it’s becoming smarter than
ever before. If computers are getting so much faster, so incredibly fast, there
might conceivably come a moment when they are capable of something comparable
to human intelligence. Artificial intelligence. All that horsepower could be
put in the service of emulating whatever it is our brains are doing when they
create consciousness — not just doing arithmetic very quickly or composing
piano music but also driving cars, writing books, making ethical decisions,
appreciating fancy paintings, making witty observations at cocktail parties.
Technology is advancing because people and researchers are always trying to
expand the abilities of technology.
New technology can bring us
as humans to higher levels in our own world, such as finding new medicines to
help with new problems, or new technology to create more. This new merging can
make the future brighter or this could get out of control like in “I, Robot”. I
Robot is a film that has the major theme of humans and machines merging. A
Scientist makes robots that can help people with every day duties, and then all
the robots become evil. This might be
an exaggerated example, but this is somewhat of an example of humans merging
with machines. According to Lara Farrar, Scientists have gained deeper insights
with technology, and this is why technology seems to be expanding quickly.
Since scientist have the knowledge of this concept of I Robot; it can become
scary. I Robot promotes the major theme as something that gets out of control,
but there is a positive to this claim of merging. This new advancement with
technology can bring us as humans to a brighter future like more kids being
able to access more so that they can be more successful. This could be a good
thing.
Machines merging with
humans can be defined as Singularity that was first defined by Ray Kurzwell.
According to Lev Grossman, The Singularity is the hypothetical future creation
of superintelligent machines. This is the thought that maybe technology could
help expand humans to possibly being able to do more with the help of
technology. This concept goes back to
maybe the term singularity will actually help and how it will help us.
Singularity is advancing us because we are capable to do much more. We are able
to make more money faster. Scientists are able to create faster as well.
According to Michio Kaku, he believes that merging with machines will advance
the way humans think because the simple fact those humans’ will be able to do
much more such as advancing the way we use technology.
In conclusion, the thought
of humans merging with machines was something that was put into a definition by
Ray Kurzwell. The simple meaning of Singularity is the theory of humans merging
with machines. Scientist and researchers have a strong belief that this
scientific act is something that will make the world advance to the next level;
possibilities of maybe humans being able to use more than only 10% of their
brains. A human being able to merge with technology is deeper than the term
singularity in itself. Humans’ merging with machines is something that can
affect things outside of even knowledge. This can be something that makes
business, and other factors run differently because businesses will be able to
communicate to make deals happen faster just because technology has advanced.
CONCLUSION:
There are many researchers
that are examining the possibility of Humans merging with machines. Some
researchers say that this is already happening, and it is something that might
be to late to stop. What are our options for stopping or making this new term
really expand into our world today. Is this going to be something that changes
the world for the better? So many questions are being asked, and so little is
actually being answered. It is up to us as people to try to answer these
ourselves. I know the world has to advance because that’s what the future is
all about, but I pray that it doesn’t bring anything bad because I do not want
my children and family to suffer.
NEW KNOWLEDGE: A lot of researchers have been
studying this to figure out the same questions that I ask. But it is believed
that this is going to get humans on higher levels.
PRIOR: I learned about singularity, but I didn’t
research deeper such as, the real dangers or what our researchers have found.
CLARITY: Does anyone know of anything bad that will
come from this?
OVERALL: I really hope that all is well with this
process because we really don’t need something that is going to bring bad to
the world.
