A machine must be treated as part of an individual species I
would like to call the Digital Races of the Machine World. We must
realize that, as machines grow more powerful, one day they'll
develop similar thinking as ours, and also when a species grows, it
would think of ways to better itself. colonization, conquest,
expansion..all these would come into the mindset of the machines
very soon once the synthetic age reaches its peak.
Ah by the way I've written something to help u better understand
where we are right now.
1930-1960: Atomic Age
1960-1975: Space Age
1975-1990: Nuclear Age
1990-2020: Digital Age
2020-2100: Genetic Age
2040-2300: Synthetic Age
Approximately in the early years of the 23rd century, one machine
would be capable of calculations of 10 to the power 78 per second,
many many many times faster than our fastest computer right now. By
this time, machines would be as powerful, or even more powerful
than 'God', if god even exists, that is (but i doubt it). anyway, a
human living in the 21st century when compared to another living in
thr 23rd century would be far weaker in physical and mental
strength than its counterpart. a human in the 23rd AD would have
many many cybernetic implants that allows him to speak without
opening his mouth or uttering a single word or noise. Thoughts
would come as brainwaves and sent to the receipent of whom the
person is talking to. the receipent would receive the brainwaves
and translate them into words or images in his built-in computer in
his head. mental strength, especially, would improve a thousand
times in the next 300 years as we better understand our
consciousness and minds. we would speak to animals through
brainwave translation alone. we would be able to achieve anything!!
it would be paradise!! it would be an age humanity have long dreamt
of!! a vision to create a superhuman would finally be realized!!
or, it may be a nightmare as biomechanisms and machines would
compete over who gets to rule the planet and solar system as both
are machines, although one only partial.
