singularity essay

In the near future scientists believe in transforming the notion in what it means to be human. Scientists are starting to unlock the secrets of the human braid moving us to the moment when it will be possible to store our memories in machines. This future solution is so life threaten to some people that a man was even killed from trying to prevent it from ever happening. This will allow us to make better humans, human’s version 2.0.
Some scientist believe things like children in the future will live in a world with tremendous computing power including computers that can do more than any other computer could have possibly done. Others believe that children of the future will be able to download their thoughts, stored their memories, and interface with machines but for other this type of future is something to fear. Sometime in the future computers will soon equal the power of the human brain. This moment is called the singularity
Dr. Jose Delgado was investigating the area of a bull’s brain. Dr. Delgado took control of the bull’s brain by placing electrodes in the bull’s brain that were responsible for the bull’s anger and movement, Dr. Delgado could transmit radio that would in theory tame the
massive bull. To test his theory he got in the ring with the bull and tamed it using the radio signals. Delgado was trying to understand the tactics of the human brain.
Ray Kurzweil is another professor involved in the singularity. Dr. Kurzweil was the first to make a computer that could read. As Kurzweil said if the predictions are right we will understand the humans brain the same time at almost the exact same time computers equal the same amount of power as the human’s brain. Creating machines that are a billon more times capable than a human is what makes up the Singularity. There was another experiment similar to Dr. Delgado but this one involved a mouse done by John Chapman. In this experiment John Chapman outs a radio in and on top of the mouse allowing him to have control over this animal. While he had control over the mouse he didn’t have complete control like Dr. Delgado did over the bull. With the mouse the radio signals ordered him to even go left or right but it had the option to go in which ever direction it choose. If the mouse did what it was told the mouse was giving a feeling of happiness of some sort to its mind and of course everybody likes happy feeling, so the mouse did what it was told. The way scientists are using radio signals to controlled can someday come back and haunt us. Think about somebody controlling humans in everything they do. People and animals should have the right to do what they want unless they are a harm to other they should not be controlled. Technology has been growing rapidly over he year and its only going to get more advanced.
Then their came another scientist named Miguel Coleus, who used a monkey in his experiment. When he first started this experiment he trained a monkey to play a video game that’s calls for the monkey to use a joystick and move it around on the monitor. While the monkey is moving the joystick there is an robotic arm moving in the same direction in another room. This is all happening because the monkey MIND is controlling the video game and the robotic arm. This is what made a milestone in today’s technology. While the monkey was playing the game he let go of the joystick, but it was still playing the game and the robotic arm was still moving in the same direction as the video game. This convinced and proved to scientist that the mind could interface with machines. All the monkey was doing was allowing its brain to do all the work and interact with the machines.
The next scientist is Philip Kennedy who is a doctor and neuroscientist. In the video there is a boy named Eddie Ramsey. Now Eddie was in a car accident and it left him paralyzed from the neck down. The experiment that the scientists are running on Eddie involves Eddie having connectors on and in his head. When he is enduring the experiment he thinks what he wants to say and I computer says it. This is one of the technology evolutions that can be really appreciated. Most scientist experiments tells that the future will have a new beginning. The brain is one of the most powerful parts on the human body. The scientist I talked about did this for a reason, to explore and to find out information about the human mind. A man was even killed trying to stop the singularity. The singularity is taking over and there really nothing you can do to stop it. It’s coming and its coming fast so buckle up and e ready for a bumpy ride.
