are we obsolete?
So today in class we talked about humans and if we were obsolete. Are we only here for a special purpose and once we are done with that is that the end for us. When we go to the store we often purchase things that we know will not last us forever. When a maker makes something it only last for a certain amount of time. The stuff often only last for as long as the manufacturer said it would after that most of the times the thing start to give you problems. For example when we go out and buy a car the manufacturer offers a warranty for up to a certain amount of miles but after that it begins to break down. Ones it has reached that point that they have given you warranty for the car begins to need parts changed or little touch up here and there. While listening to all this the idea that first popped in my head was that of our race the human race being replaced. I began to think that is it that we are obsolete just like machines and cars. Are we going to come to and end and be replaced by something else? Are we going to reach to the point when we are out of date and something else is in complete control?
All of this kept me thinking about how machines are getting to powerful and one day are going to be able to think. I know it sounds kind of crazy but maybe is not. Maybe we are making machines to smart maybe in the future they will be able to think for themselves, I think that if that happens then that will be the time when we come to an end. Just like we do to machines now it will be done to us.
What will happen to us in the future? Everyday we wake up and do something we decide what to do. We have the freedom to make choices or at least we think we do. But are we making the best choice or are all the choices we are making today the wrong choices. Are they going to come back and bit us in the ass? Are we becoming obsolete? Are we making our selves come to and end?
