HUMANS MERGING WITH MACHINES

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.
