Response to Did you Know.

I have mixed feelings about this video. In one respect, I think its amazing that we have advanced so much in so little of a period of time, in another respect, this is kind of scary. To think that we have advanced this much so quickly can make one wonder about the sources of error present in the new technology. This concept kind of reminds me of anatomy class, when we talk about how if one cell regenerates at a constant rate there is less chance of mutation, but when it regenerates quickly, there is more chance of mutations which cause cancer in most cases. The case in which a common computer will soon be able to generate more than the entire human species is also a bit frightening as Kyle mentioned. But in response to this topic, technically we already have this capability, its called Google. Google brings together the intelligence of almost everyone from every part of the world, and this information is stored overtime, and added onto over generations. Although we haven’t had this luxury for long, it will continue to grow and expand as time goes on. So do we have a long way to go with technology? Yes, absolutely. But will we know when the point of no return is? When technology takes over? Probably not, but when you think about it, we have grown up and adapted to the present technology and will continue to do so, whether we’re ready for it or not.
