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.
