Introduction:
Humans’
merging with machines is inevitable since there is so much evidence of it
happening now. For example,
Kurzweil mentioned the union of human and machines will
increase human’s capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of their brain.
The very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and
challenged. Humans merging with machines will have many positive affects on the
human race. According to Kurzweil there are three technological revolutions that will cause
this to happen.
Conclusion:
Can there be
humans who are robots. A lot of revolutions have to happen for these
predictions to be true. Technology has proven to be a tool that will never go
out of use. They get more and more advanced every day. The union of humans and
machines has endless of positive affects. The human race will be able to adapt
and survive better ever before. Even though I probably don’t want these
predictions to happen because I like how life is already; I’m looking forward
to see how the future plays out.
Overall thoughts: Humans merging
with machines will happen if the government wants it to happen.
