recently i have found some articles on the concept of "Singularity" — the idea that at a certain time humans and machines will coalesce in to a singular property. Some ideas claim that this will happen at some time in the 2020ish range— at least that's all I've seen so far. after i had read these articles i began to think.
—What would make this so bad?
— If illness and possibly death could be cured through this technology then why fight it?
— If humans where merged with machine, could one travel vast distances through the simple act of a download?
— instead of the "standard" split of human ideology's (genetically purified, nano help, homo/cybernetic melding, full cybernetic function with "a ghost in the shell") wouldn't it perpetuate gradually— as time progressed?
— while said time was progressing wouldn't older factions remove themselves? possibility's include, getting off this rock and moving through space, natural elimination of the sub-species,can peaceful transitions be possible?
just thinking...
