RE: ALARM CLOCK DAWN (An Original Novel - Part 2)
@daut44, I'm a huge follower of up-and-coming technologies and there are a lot of really paradigm-shifting things in the works right now. Virtual reality and A.I. are going to speed up our evolution and solve a lot of our problems if they're implemented properly. If not, it'll be nightmarish. 3-D printing is also a game-changer. I used to think about how much change a person born at the end of the 1800's experienced in their lifetimes but anyone in their 40's or younger that have a normal life span will see quadruple the amount of change they did. IMHO. I just hope our brains have enough plasticity to keep up!
Yup, I'm a follower of Ray Kurzweil and hope he's right and AI doesn't devolve to Skynet.
And yes, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 32, one of those smack in between Generation X and Millenials. I had a cell phone in high school and have witnessed the technological changes as they come. I just hope I don't ever fall behind and become one of those angry cane wielding porch grandpas that wishes things were like they used to be (that is unless skynet comes to fruition :) )
Right there with you. I'm 38 and I remember the Internet when it was just dial up BBSes and AOL chat rooms. Now we have VR and 3d printing, self driving cars, and robots on Mars. We live in the future.
