INTERFACE.
Hello my friends, let's talk about the future ...
The year 2015 was very fruitful for discoveries. To the words in the headlines of news, which includes the word "breakthrough", people even began to get used to it.
Breakthroughs have been everywhere: in the method of storage and packing density of information with a side effect in the form of almost eternity in time of preservation; in the treatment of cancer; in editing the genome ...
Progress again, after several years of calm, jerked at full speed.
2016 did not disappoint too, and breakthrough studies continue to go from the media to the already tired reader.
We are promised 5G and thermonuclear energy "just about".
There are many scientific works that are ready to "change the life of mankind," but one program recently announced by DARPA has the potential to turn humanity into something completely new.
This is a breakthrough in breakthroughs, a door - into which humanity will never be the same.
This program is aimed at creating an interface between Neocortex and the digital world.
The interface will serve as a translator between the electrochemical signals of neurons and the digital language of the information world.
The task of this program is non-trivial and fantastically complex, now scientists can receive a signal through only 100 channels from groups of tens of thousands of neurons, and the implementation of the program's goals is to individually contact any of a million neurons, a selected section of the cortex.
Communication with friends showed that most people are not ready to realize the prospects that will open after the creation of such implants ...I think that after the mass introduction of them, the history of Mankind, which we know, will end.
For the time being, we are only trying to find a common name for the creature, which will result from the confusion of the biological and non-biological consciousness carrier. Imagine this transhuman, who became (at the beginning of the path) 2 times more reasonable, with absolute memory, loaded knowledge on any topic of interest. Imagine the power of thousands of Einsteins that did not take place due to the circumstances of life. Imagine the power of the synergy of different sciences, which one brain can not master in one human life is impossible.
What are the tasks of today's society?
Lack of water, food, energy.
Will this be a problem for new creatures?
No, they will solve them in passing, just learning to be OTHERS.
Having created such an interface, a person fully integrates with Moore's law, his abilities and opportunities will begin to grow exponentially. The interface will be the gateway to a real fountain of discoveries and developments, which will be primarily aimed at further improving themselves.
The creation of nanobots is still more fantastic than science, but what is not given to man will be able to a new creature that can throw on the solution of the problem all the power of the world's computer technology, coupled with the most perfect instrument of knowledge-the brain. Having solved this problem, we will be engaged in the reconstruction of our bodies and brain, including.
Replacement of neurons one after another by non-biological analogs, having a speed of information exchange by hundreds of orders more, reconstruction of the nervous system on the same principle?
Inconceivable?
But it's real for a new entity.
Inconsistency of appearance.
The body is a task.
The body is for fun.
Invulnerability.
Immortal life.
There is no more hunger, no disease, no more physical suffering.
Having finished with a good one, I'll move on to the negative.
Strugatsky in his book formulated the theses, which become as relevant for the very near future:
"... humanity will be divided into two unequal parts according to a parameter not known to us, and the smaller part will forcefully overtake a larger one."
Humanity is heterogeneous in its beliefs, religious views, phobias. I postulate that in the near future we will begin to lose not one "unequal part", but part after part.
And every loss will be a "majority".
Religions will become the siege number 1,
phobia of interference in the work of the brain will become a Sieve No. 2,
the desire to become a "sultan among the guri" and other virtual dreams / worlds will become a sieve number 3,
the unwillingness to change the structure of oneself will become a sieve number 4 and so on ...
The good news is that the exiles will not die like before, they will happily and carefreely live in their own world, and live much more comfortably than ever.
But they will forever ... forever fall behind the tenth or one-hundredth of a percent of humanity that will go through all the steps.
This painful fissure will pass through families, friends, nations and countries. The progressing progress will go away with sorrow and regret, but with full awareness of the choice.
We live may be the last decade of a familiar life, then all our today's worries will hardly cause a shadow of a smile on our face.
End!
