Various
concepts and philosophy set out his vision of the development of mankind. Some
of them point to the cyclical nature. Nothing new under the sun, all born and
die, for what would be reborn. Consequently, humanity can not invent something
new, and designed to forever wander around, searching for an imaginary goal.
Others - point to a linear development. Mankind accumulates the potential to go
to the next step and at the end of the ladder there, or we can not see it.
Despite the different principles, both views show the presence of a particular
"moment" or "barrier", which rests against humanity.
Usually, it is necessary to ensure that the quality would "grow" over
yourself and move on.
Crises
have become commonplace in our history. Problems arise as a necessity, as a
kind of catalyst that at times accelerates the development of all mankind. As
an example - the era of the Cold War. It is allowed, after only fifty years
after the man was able to break away from the surface of the earth, to reach
space. Leap - huge, but if he was real, without fierce competition and constant
resistance?
Needless
to mention the development of energy, technology, military build-up? All this
was due to the fierce competition of two majestic States. The titanic forces
and resources were directed at what would be the best, and to create something
so great that make the competitor to withdraw from the bout.
Unfortunately,
the man begins to be active only in the moment of crisis. This can be seen by
the example of the students (who give work to deadlines), companies (which give
food to the deadline), on the example of people (who go to the doctor only when
the disease is too serious). The evolution can be followed by similar markers
that indicate the presence of high demand. The main book "Fight Club"
character, indicating that if infect popular presidents of the world AIDS is a
cure will be found for a few weeks. All solves the need and availability of
resources.
Today,
the most available resource - it's computing power. The nuclear arms race has
ceased long ago. Now the country's increasing computing capacity, creating a
giant cluster of powerful computers. The computing power of such systems makes
admire and fear the results of their calculations. Such a system is able to
calculate not only the climate of the planet, new models of chemical elements
or process the results of experiments at CERN. Computing power allows to
predict the behavior of people to study the biochemistry of the organism and
the effects of interventions in the body at the cellular and molecular levels.
We
have the resources. And when in need, humanity will be able to repeat the
incredible jump. From the surface of the planet to the stars - is unlikely. Now
the world is not looking at the sky, and on ourselves. And the potential hidden
in our bodies, too tempting.
