The man is
afraid of what is not understood. Technologies also represent the focus of the
entire unknown that exists in parallel with us. To grasp the principles of
operation of a mechanism, we need to make efforts and to delve into the study
of the instructions. Man must correspond to the level of a device that is
already commonplace.
Today,
there are categories of people who are hostile to technology. But what if the
technology will be part of the people? Prostheses today, are not only a
"crutch" for which we can build in the development. Such augmentation
may improve the quality of the body, to surpass them. And media technologies
will be "stronger" (physical and cognitive) of its biologically pure
relatives.
Will
improved people claim to key places in the system of government, to demand
special treatment, obedience? Hardly. Humanity is not divided into "good
and evil". But the very presence of stronger competitors may result in
disturbance in the society. And then those who are objectively superior to
human abilities, will be the first jeopardized. And what awaits us: a future
based on fear and the concentration camps? Or a world in which man is freed
from the tyranny of the body's flaws? It depends on us.
