Is Google making us stupid? Written by Nicholas Carr and Ray Kurzweil, featured in the Singularity video, they have offered the human population a lot of good information regarding the pros and cons of advanced technology that will arrive sooner than we think. Understanding each source is an important component to the future of our world. The reprogramming of our brain through the constant use of computers and how artificial intelligence, with an expected date of 2045 according to Ray Kurzweil, will surpass the human brain and the organic part of humanity will no longer be on top of the food chain. Really scary thought! After reading the article and watching the video, my mind was in a bit of a mess. All the information provided made me think; Wow, I can see this process already happening. Every day I pick up my son Logan from school and see all kinds of kids piling together like a herd of cows; grades from kindergarten to fifth grade. All mothers and fathers ask their children the same question; how the day went and every day the same answer is given: boring. Schools and society are creating drones. The level of creativity of teachers has decreased dramatically due to confinement of strict teaching rules to MCAS and excessive use of Google. When children arrive home they are surrounded by smartphones, laptops, X-Boxes and tablets, all of which gives them access to the internet at any time. It's fast and convenient. Author Nicholas Carr even says, “I spent a lot of time online, searching, browsing, and sometimes adding content to the large Internet databases.” It is within reach of those who want it, but I also see mankind incapable of reading...... middle of paper ......ich Nietzsche and how his writing style changed significantly when he began to use a character writer. “But the machine had a more subtle effect on his work. One of Nietzsche's friends, a composer, noticed a change in the style of his writing." Can we now imagine the effects of the Singularity movement? The change is too drastic even with some of the beneficial factors. Can you imagine that sex could become obsolete? I have to draw the line somewhere and I would say most people would have the same opinion. Kurzweil has high hopes and dreams for a new world that I believe most are not ready for and I know I am not ready to be fed by a nanobot. Six? It's such a terrifying thought and in 2045 I would be seventy-three, which is scary in itself, unless that part of the aging process actually works than I might appreciate technology more.
