Singularity "ManBot5000"

In the article " 2045 the year man becomes immortal" by Lev Grossman, it shows the unpredictability of the human race and how people’s creativity and style can be taken over with. For all of human existence, people have been making new advancements in the works of creating a better place for humans to live, however the idea that humans can and will make the product of our doom is chilling. The acts such as making the atomic bomb and the first mission to outer space showed the human race that we are advancing our science beyond anything that could be predicted. “Their rate of development would also continue to increase, because they would take over their own development from their slower-thinking human creators” and “it's impossible to predict the behavior of these smarter-than-human intelligences,” because of their unlimited storage capacity and how fast they process data from the world. Only by stopping the human desire to one up on each other and not wreak chaos among each other people can achieve freedom. In chapter six of the novel “A Brave New World” it shows the insecurity of a future clone who wonders why he is different compared to the rest of the masses. His small stature and intellectual mind set is different from the rest. “Alcohol in his blood surrogate.” Not only did the man and machine combine together, but the humans love being apart of it. They all can’t stand not being integrated into one being. “In a crowd” The main character hates because he strives for freedom just like the people today struggle to find something that puts them in the history books. Therefore the actions displayed by the “desperate boy” in “A brave new world” shows “impatience” and “gloominess” without technology, just like a teenager today! In the article, intelligence is catching up with us. “Their rate of development would also continue to increase.” Only by studying very hard and knowing the limit of progress for technology will humans survive. Technology can do only so much, after a while humans need to step in to survive for the best on Earth.

The Temptation in the Lives in all of us

Many people have seen the exciting trilogy Lord of the Rings  by J.R.R.Tolkien and read the books about a fantastic adventure full of deceit and betrayal. Most of the people have not established this work of fiction by the symbolic reasoning behind it. The "Ring" that was described as all powerful symbolizes the power that is sought of by many of the creatures. It is interesting to find out that the people who won were based on an agricultural atmosphere  "the Shire" compared to "Mount Doom" an industrial one. Also the temptation drilled into the life by the main character, "Frodo" would seem to be the symbolic temptation by the Bible. The temptations faced by the characters in the  novels have been unable to be conquered until the last possible moment by the main character. Thus symbolically people such as ourselves should not waste our time gathering items to gain more powerful, but rather use teamwork to combat the evil that inflicts everyone's life
