The Fallacy of Technology

Some creepy thoughts on technology.

Since the dawn of civilization, presumably 12,000 B.C., or even 10,000 B.C. as preferred by CPU unit processor in the binary number system, technology has always been prevailed as the greatest Human creation. Is it?

There is an indifference fact that, between ten or dozen millenniums ago and present, plant and other goods are still selective grown. It is as if the concept has, since then, unchanged. Humans selectively breed the necessity out of survivability, which undoubtedly led to the extinction of most nomadic movements, through collective, or tribal community, means. Tools, mother tongues, collective intellectualism, and territorial integrity are the requirements of a technology prevail. Or do they?

Of course, technology is prevailed as the greatest contribution to past of societies. Fast forward to today: the Information Age and its prevailed technology. For the first time in Human history, technology has taken a rein on its own: tools, linguistics, information-gathering, and local-based and/or community-based server integrity through means of collective urbanization. For first time, everything is packed in the computational box. Did the technology prevail?

Perhaps. It is still yet more indifferent on the fact, that of computational technology, selective methods are infinitely complex. Plant and other goods are no longer selective: they play very much a role on the background noise of daily life. What used to be an ancient layer, left to us by ancestors, became a daily-living task. Such simple tasks are being replaced by complex tasks. Has technology finally enabled the rise of diseased genes, bad genes, or increased numbers of mutations?

For example: fittest of survival select those who would pass on their genes. Short-sighted folks, before the innovation of glasses, are therefore reduced and their genes would not play a major factor. After the invention of glasses, which increased over 100% probability of survivability, those same folks have better chance to spread the diseased genes.

Of course, that is a Human-related doing. When I refer to the Information Age, I meant the very scientific core of all: genesis itself. If biotechnology, bio-informatics, bio-genesis, or the likes, continue its path along the Human civilization, would that accelerate the rate of mutations? Humans are known to be creators of cures; in turn, they also become creators of destruction. For the first time, technology itself has been closer and closer to the point where it may someday do not need Humans. Would technology, then, prevail?

The artificial intelligence requirements are thus: tools, linguistics, information-gathering, and server integrity. Would that give a rise to conscious? The important part to consider about one requirement out of all is thus: integrity. It has integrity to protect its own territorial locality. Ultimately, that would increase its own awareness and consciousness surrounding the aliens (otherwise Humans). With the power of knowledge, and technology, artificial intelligence is armed. Artificial genesis, for first time, might be created by non-humans.

Would technology really, then, prevail?

You decide.
