Ok when the synthetic age reaches its climax, there will be
machines (intelligent ones) in every household and there will be 10
times more machines than humans. Now you have to realize that
because it is we, humans, who built these machines, they share our
thinking and way of reasoning. They would treat humans as their
masters, or if an error in digital programming occured, they would
no longer see themselves as our servants, but treat us as we would
treat animals. they would see us as a great source for harnessing
our biothermal electric energy to power their mechanical bodies
when there are too many machines for usual methods to support. or
they would just leave us alone, knowing we pose no threat unless we
try to win the world back from, the machines of course. or they
would cooperate with us. this is very unlikely, because we humans
have been dominant species of this planet for hundreds of thousands
of years and when we finally become 2nd in position on earth we
would feel extremely neglected and would seize ANY available
opportunity to destroy the machines.
Even now we have household robots, but not plentiful..most are for
industrial use but one day we'll have robotic servants..everything
would be digital and the human race would sink into a state where
everything is done automatically for them..we'll be lazy,
inconsiderate, useless, weak, ignorant fatties who live in pleasure
everday..work would be done by machines, employment rates would
drop so much...in about 200 years..just imagine the technology that
would be a part of our daily lives..imagine cities that actually
REACH for the skies, cities that are constructed by machines
alone..while humans would not risk the danger and would control
everything from their homes or offices...nothing would be done by
human beings..everything would be automated..we would multiply,
destroy the environment, pollute eveyrthing on earth..then we would
move to the moon, mining its minerals and rare resources, and when
we're done with that, we'll terraform mars to support human life
due to overpopulation of the earth's surface...machines would clear
the path of all obstacles to make way for humans to colonize..we
would integrate technology into our bodies, we would be
biosynthetic beings, androids, biomechanisms..cyborgs...we would
first start with small synthetic parts being built into us, then
one day we'll make ourselves fully machinized..and when that
happens, the human race would be as good as dead because the only
thing that determines if we're alive or not is our physical
bodies..our FLESH..if our minds were to be transferred to machine
bodies...we'll be exintinct even tho we're still very much
alive...that is what future generations of people would have to go
through..the horror of a world controlled by machines and not by
humans or any other animal...
you have to realize in the near future, within a thousand years,
theres almost a 100% possibility of machines that have near-human
intelligence, and bio-computers would replace network/home
computers and would be at least a thousand times faster in
processing speed.
Within a thousand years, there may be 5 intelligent groups living
here:
1) Humans/Primates (Without implants/Natural)
2) Biomechanisms (Humans with cybernetic implants)
3) Smart Machines (AI enabled, home use/scientific use)
4) Industrial Machines (AI disabled, very few functions)
5) Bio-Synthetics (Machines controlled by a human mind)
Which machine you will be depends on how wealthy you are, or you
much you are willing to pay. Of course, in the distant future,
money would be the least of all concerns, as we do not need to pay
machines to do our work. Machines would construct machines,
machines would mine for resources at the edges of the galaxy, where
humans would not yet have ventured to, machines would be linked in
a network I would call a Nexus, the internet of the machine world,
where all machines are linked together through cyberspace all
across the colonized galaxy. The Nexus would be a storage of
machine data, and it would be accessible by humans who tap into its
database. Our Internet would be linked to the Nexus and data would
be freely available. There would be the Opposition though, a group
which despises our technology and wants to end all machine
dominance and dependence on technology. This group would be a
minority, maybe less than 5% of our world's population (machines
excluded). This group would be outcasts in our society, because
they have failed to adapt to changing circumstances and new
technology and instead choose to live in the past. The Opposition
would be neglected, hunted like criminals, and they would start a
war to end machine dominance, but they would fail. This group would
very quickly cease to exist. I'd suggest you'd not join this
group.
But, when overpopulation occurs on the Earth, the humans would no
longer be ignored by the machines as a harmless species. The
machines would USE us and any other animal still alive to harness
our body's heat to convert it into electricity which would power up
the machines' bodies.
which side mechanized humans would take would greatly depend on
their culture and beliefs. If you believe in a world of 'paradise'
where law and order would be maintained by machines alone, where no
human would dare commit offences, then you would side with the
Smart Machines. If you believe in a world where Nature is greater
than artificial intelligence, and where humans should rule instead
of machines, then you would join the Opposition. If you believe in
a world where technology would help us but also not prevent us from
ruling this planet, then I suggest you join the Biomechanisms.
