Funds
for the artificial introduction to the work of the body, there are as many as
there are people. Whereas before, it was the tools of labor and hunting, now -
it is a multifunctional device that can work closely with the human body.
So
far, we supplement our bodies to compensate for certain defects. We can add the
power of using exoskeletons, or drink a course of certain drugs. We can
compensate for the loss of sight, through the interaction with the other organs
of perception (project vOICe), or the introduction of cameras and artificial
nerve cells directly to the eyelids.
For
an individual, the choice of compensation defects or hyper-development of
certain qualities - continues to grow with each passing day. Science produces
sufficient funds to accelerating productivity. Moore's Law continues to operate,
and reducing the size of computer processors can qualitatively introduce them
into the body.
But
we remain in a position when our potential is limited by the shape and function
of the body. We can not on their own spacewalk, down to the bottom of the
ocean, with his own "move mountains" or move objects by thought. In
order to obtain this kind of opportunity, we need to change qualitatively.
Do
not stop the reduction of technology and not to oppose progress, but on the
contrary - contribute to it. Cycling is not only "direct" ways to
promote, but do not forget the indirect and not less important.
In
the end, the last stage of gradual changes, will the restructuring of the human
psyche. To a certain extent it will be modified in the course of progress, but
the transition to a qualitatively better level of existence, the need to revise
the perception of the world.
It
is difficult to change yourself now. We are not disciplined, weak, with low
levels of motivation and weak cognitive abilities. But the gradual progress
toward goals in improving our times, compared to its predecessors.
Finding
new opportunities through hard work, we are not just getting better. We begin
to think differently, look differently at the world. Acquires new needs, fears
and values. Thus there is a corresponding leveling the accumulated material.
New uses in life, destroying the old. And on the way to the singularity, it is
important to remember one small factor.
The
best is always the enemy of the good.
