Intro
The idea of humans and machines merging will be much different because it could be so much better to be a human today. With machines merged wit humans we will be more advanced in the things we could do. Kurzweil said in the era singularity it will be “enriched and a challenge” to be a human.
Details
Humans will be more advanced and better if the merge with machines happen. Humans could be smarter, saying that basically technology will already be inside. People will be able to live way longer maybe even forever. The majority of the people in the world does not want to die but just accepts the fact that they are one day. Now possibly in the future people won’t have to worry about it. The question is what age they would want to look like. I know people would not want to look old forever but maybe in the 20-30 ranges forever being young.
By the second decade of the 21st Century, we have become used to organs grown in laboratories, genetic surgery and designer babies. In 2002, medical researchers used enzymes and DNA to build the first molecular computers, and in 2004 improved versions were being injected into people’s veins to fight cancer By 2020 we may be able to put even cleverer minicomputers into our brains to speed up synaptic links, give ourselves perfect memory and perhaps cure dementia(Brandon Turbeville).
. But inserting technology into human brains is not the only thing going on. Some scientists also want to insert human brains into technology. Since the Sixties, computer chips have been doubling their speed and halving their cost every 18 months or so. If the trend continues, the inventor and predictor Ray Kurzweil has pointed out that by 2029 we will have computers powerful enough to run programs reproducing the 10,000 trillion electrical signals that flash around your skull every second. They will also have enough memory to store the ten trillion recollections that make you who you are (Future Thinking).
Conclusion
Merging with machines is the future. It will be benefit humans because humans could be smarter. We will be able to do things we never did before. The world could become a better place with a merge. Possibly more safety with human being more physically and mentally advanced. New ideas could be come up for the world and cures for the ill.

This is really interesting, I learned some interesting facts like medical researchers used enzymes and DNA to build the first molecular computers, and in 2004 improved versions were being injected into people’s veins to fight cancer. I didn't know about that good job.
ReplyDeleteI really like the interesting facts you gave about medical researchers because I never knew that.
ReplyDeleteWell . . . I am wondering if I want my privacy robbed of me in exchange for being smarter? Hmm!? It is hard to imagine what this could look like in the future . . . someone who is controlling the technology having access to my life and controlling my intelligence?
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is really intriguing information you are providing to the public. I hope to hear more about this significant topic because of the fact that it has to do with certain facts about humans and technology fusing together which i personally think is not a good concept or idea.
ReplyDeletejut this is very good essay about singularity allot of good facts that prove that your thesis can happen
ReplyDeleteYou had a lot of intresting facts about singularity I can agree with mostly everything you explained in your essay. But do you really think this could all be good for society?
