Striving for the best

The best is the enemy of the good. We disclaim familiar, traditional ways of life, in favor of modern, working decisions. Progress is inevitable, because people will always seek to improve their position. We multiply the resources, improve their methods of production and create new products. Products that are gradually becoming be a part of us.
A few decades have passed since then, it was invented a portable (mobile) phone. Over the past five to ten years it has become a part of us, a device that we used to keep around. Private data, personal information, convenient application, which we are accustomed to use everywhere and constantly. A market pushbutton phone continues to exist, but it is becoming less popular.
Smart House, sensors that monitor pressure, pulse, blood sugar. Implants, which partly returned rumor compensate lost limbs and contribute to the work of the internal organs. But how long artificial means will assume the support functions? We can say that the prosthetic legs and arms become more perfect, and, sooner or later, will surpass the biological body parts. And then mankind will face the choice of which could not even dream of. Before choosing which be faced by each of us.

Large-scale growth

We are accustomed to the fact that progress is moving at an exponential rate. New products industry are perceived as routine and humanity is waiting for the innovations and progress already "tomorrow". We do not see how to change the mentality of how we have become to computers, gadgets and ubiquitous communications networks. Modern life has become flexible, and each configures it for themselves.
World of Rights and Freedoms allows you to fully reveal the individuality, or bring together a group of people united under the slogans, ideas and framework of perception. Mankind gets more opportunities to choose, and behind it is as infinite good and global catastrophe.
Medieval man using a stick could kill one or two tribesmen before he would stop. Knight in armor on horseback, armed with a sword, he could hack to death a dozen commoners. A suicide with a gun - kill a few dozen people. We get opportunities and implement long-standing fantasies. Certain mechanisms can control the development process, but they also slow down his pace. Humanity is coming to the border, which was called "technological singularity" and is ready to go further. The only problem is that the person does not want to change. And the process of "entering into the Future" could be the award of the atomic bomb a wild pack of monkeys.

Penetrating in the foundation

The human body is a set of complex systems that are closely related to each other. We study and know the types of communication; we understand the biology and chemistry of the internal processes. Man is able to partially control your body, to move certain muscle groups that control the functioning of internal organs. But does this limit being that presents itself as the crown of creation?
Man is capable of more. Grueling training, the study of scientific materials, using a wide range of dietary supplements, we subjugate the body. Building up muscle tissue, control the heart rate, respiration, accelerate or slow down the reaction. But what if you go deeper?
At the cellular level, the intervention of the body allows us to achieve a startling metamorphosis. Injections of steroids - accelerate muscle growth. Nootropic drugs quickly reach the brain when administered directly into their bloodstream. But this is the reality of everyday life, as well as the future expense? Manipulation of molecular body composition. The ability to change shape, to complicate and refine organic, live longer, be stronger and hardier. Although, this is not the limit. Being that controls its atomic composition. Being that can disassemble itself to atoms and recreate again. It is not a person, and the next link of evolution. Is it possible to come to this type of existence? It depends on us.

Need of reflection

People tend to resist entropy by generating and creating the world for the sake of their desires and targets. We bring more fruits, both theoretical and practical. And in the mass of created wealth and resources, there comes a lot of confusion. And today, we probably needs a thorough analysis of the results achieved, than blind their accumulation.
The problem of science, it disputes the level of terminology and explain the process. Unified scientific base is typical, perhaps, for medicine, but it is constantly growing due to the research of new tissues and body parts. In an increasing pile of data, the human body is in a state of constant stress and shock. Not knowing how to react, we blindly deny all the benefits of progress; do not understand the possibilities of their application.
Mankind is a mechanism that is carefully and persistently opposed by entropy. We accumulate and multiply infinitely increase the data, but do not have time to use them in full. Perhaps, at the junction of flows of Sciences are the answers to frequently asked questions. Perhaps the amount of information is simply too big for its analysis. And without understanding the problem, we will never be able to achieve more.

The philosophy of progress

The human body is constantly progressing and improving in different areas and fields of activity. We prolong life; we will improve social interaction, expanding developing morality and cognitive characteristics. In the world there are many areas, types of employment and work in which a person can become a better and perfect, but do we want that?
Comfortable living conditions are the most valuable to mankind, which until then was forced to survive. Today we do not need to fight for a piece of bread and a living room. We exist because of social benefits, government support and other programs. Pure animal existence within the present realities may, moreover, it may seem comfortable. But do people ever treated proposed minimum?
We can become better, perfected to the limit and pushing his limits. Natural constraints are leveled, and the man asserts his status of "crown of evolution." We can improve as thanks to the external environment, and not looking at her. But this movement is the most obvious marker of our development. But which way to go - choose only to us.

The duty to make a choice

Human life for many centuries has been built around this duty. Even primitive people choose between rest and hunting, sleeping, or risk being killed. Cruel world offered only certain options, which if not threatened with death. We used to make a choice, and we believe it is a duty, a duty law. World of democracy and freedom stay on this possibility, which is closely guarded to each of us. But what if the choice is even greater deprivation of a blessing?
The norms of morality and humanity, along with the current situation, confront the person a number of ethical questions. The problems of euthanasia, nurturing babies, disable people from life-support machines - the problem of complex and ambiguous. But they can be solved by giving the person more opportunities. Possibilities that are realized through technology.
Medicine works more effectively with patients, law enforcement authorities suppress crime in the bud, and the civilized world ensures the safety of citizens. Our capabilities allow us to find the solution is a compromise. Man becomes free and no longer obliged to choose between the extremes. We are able to act as a good count. As a minimum, because it is capable of.

Deformation of life

Having existed for hundreds of years in hunger, cold and hardship, people used to increase the resources and means. We settling life, consume foods, we try to develop their personal potential. The process of qualitative and quantitative growth was a natural. The future is represented by our parents, it has already arrived. Political, religious and cultural movements also depend on the level of technology that allows the growth of human capabilities. But how far can we go in constant augmentation and capacity building?
A man fills his technology environment of the modern era. We put extensive displays of TVs, looking for the computing power in the PC; buy comfortable and modern models of phones. Those projects of smart buildings that were science fiction a decade ago are now becoming available to the middle class.
Civilization gave man a lot of opportunities and freedoms by giving a number of obligations and rules. Our private life becomes more public, our tastes and preferences - are stored on the servers of search companies, we become something common with the surrounding technologies. And it's not bad, but not good. This is different.
