When we
talk about the Singularity in the context of posthumanism or transhumanism, we
have to take into account certain specifics of the term. Singularity is
positioned as the ideal world of the future. The word is taken from the known
to you, "Moore's Law." Since the processing power increases every 18
months, 2 times, then this increase is shown as a hyperbola upward. The right
edge of the line continues to turn upwards, symbolizing the growing rate of
progress. And that is the moment when the line will be a straight line -
symbolizes the beginning of a singularity.
What this
means in simple terms. This means that the creation of new computing devices
will take a fraction of a second, and their number will grow.
The analogy
is carried out with elements of science as building robots in the atomic scale.
Creating a nano-robot.
Programmed
to create their own kind, nano-robot will increase the number of
"hands". Created by him - will continue to work in the same
direction. These mechanisms will be able to build transistors in an atomic
scale will facilitate the synthesis of technology and organics and allow to
raise the speed of progress.
Note
whether we are beginning the Singularity?
Unfortunately,
or fortunately, we are not able to observe the beginning of the Singularity. As
part of this process, we will continue to perceive the world as a given. The
speed of the PC will not surprise us. Synthesis of artificial organs with
bodies - will cause no more objectionable than a tattoo. We will accelerate
progress at the same time.
