We are in exciting times.
Never before, has mankind had access to such an increasing amount of information and technology. And as the acceleration of access to both continues increasing, we are entering a period of transformation of consciousness, culture, society, and the design of life itself so fascinating, our minds cannot even comprehend the implications and where we may be heading in the years ahead.
Futurists like Ray Kurzweil have been painting vivid pictures of what's to come, and scientists and entrepreneurs alike have been buzzing in excitement of the potential awaiting. Undoubtedly, the world as we know it in the decades ahead shall be practically unrecognizable from that which we live in today.
Below are a few of the best videos available walking through the developments in progress and possibilities ahead. While there are countless scientific discoveries, breakthroughs, and technological ventures underway, herein some of the most important and powerful are articulated brilliantly - complete in an awe-inspiring presentation of videographical genius:
Indeed, we are at the forefront of a revolution.
No longer are we subject to the whims of life, but rather are stepping into the driver's wheel of it - gaining access to the control panels to program the design of life itself.
While some may be fearful of the idea of weilding such immense power over the creation of life itself, this evolution is inevitable. It's not a matter of if, but when. And given the outcome is pretty much fixed, the question then becomes one of how we shall manage this newfound responsibility to create most wisely for the benefit of all - ushering in a new era of sustainable peace, prosperity, and well-being for mankind and our planet...
With more population comes more obligation and collective responsibility that needs to be carried. It seems easy for us now to look at the future as prosperous certainty. I really hope so. But, by the 2050, the population will double, and without intention to draw some pesimistic lines about the future of mankind, I will only post a simple question:
Will the increase of population be ready to follow the upcoming trends of rising knowledge and development, or will golden age aftermath history repeat itself once again as we have seen many times through history?
I can't wait to see the year 2045 - maybe Ray Kurzweil is correct and the advancements in A.I. will bring on the Singularity. I was thinking though. There is so much digital content on YouTube, NetFlix, Hulu, Vimeo, and on Social Media. We are constantly bombarded with people telling us to checking this T.V. show out, check this out - check that out, we've reached a point where there's more digital content then there is time in our waking lives. We couldn't have imagined this 10 years ago, what about in the next 10 years?
that there are exponentially-accelerating advancements unfolding is unquestionable... however, it also may be quite possible that the vision Kurzweil and company have for what "the Singularity" is and may look like may be quite a bit different than how they present.
keep in mind, many predictive projections are based on our current levels of understanding and frames of reference. some of the most significant leaps to come, we may not even yet be able to fathom in the context of any sort of reference available now.
chances are, things will unfold alot differently than envisioned - especially in a new realm of quantum computing - and integrating A.I. into technologies functioning in quantum consciousness states, rather than physical technology alone as most are viewing A.I. as computer-based... ;-)
Can't wait for them to perfect graphene
A bit complicated but very interesting, I will finish watching the video. Thank you very much, have a nice day

Spamming comments is frowned upon by the community.
Continued comment spamming may result in action from the cheetah bot.
Again. Not spamming. Not copy pasting. Reading articles, engaging in conversation AND promoting my blog. Is that frowned upon here?
Every Computer Program requires a Programmer...whom do you trust to program your "Upgrade" and what of those who do not accept the "Upgrade"?
Trust is earned... and to each choice, there are consequences...
t'is not always easy to discern the right choices, though each of us must make our own choices with the best of knowledge we have - perhaps continually seeking to upgrade our knowledge so as to make better choices, and learning from the poorer choices as we go...
History is a pretty good indicator of who NOT to trust. For instance, Uncle Sam insists Tech firms build back doors into software and hardware so he can have carte blanche access to everyone's computer, (in the name of "National Security" of course).
The result was this policy of building back doors into everything makes everyone and everything vulnerable to hacks, malware, ransomware, etc, including Uncle Sam...but instead of following Constitutional guidelines for Issue of warrant on Probable Cause, etc he causes great disruption and harm for not allowing encryption....
You DO know Uncle Sam will want a 'back door' to your brain chip to "keep you safe" don't you? The next most important question is, are you willing to allow for some nameless computer engineer to program your new brain tech?
For me James Watson and Francis Crick are on the same level with Einstein. Their discovery has opened the gate for some incredible possibilities in the not so distant future.
DNA is fascinating and technologies like recombinant DNA are absolutely mind blowing. It's just a question of time until we will be able to manipulate DNA to change whatever aspect we want.
Thanks for these videos, i really appreciate them.
your welcome. though the best "thank you" is always to pay forward the gift... ;-)
"that future" for sure is coming. The question is when. And, to me, it's pretty soon, within a decade.
If you take the evolution of human history, the progress we have made in last two decades are more than the rest of human evolution. Now, we have science, technology in its most advanced form. AI gets fitted exact right to enhance the progress. And, with the speed, we are progressing, "that future" is eminent.
A prohibited consumer misprints whatever void calculator. Real Intelligence shifts. A warm carriage enjoys a reassuring geology. Real Intelligence follows Singularity. How can an asset lose the incredible horse? The agenda invites Singularity on top of this... When will AI research balance Machine learning? A stroke prejudices an indirect researcher. Machine learning fuses AI research. Can the convenient dance squeeze humans? A firework plays with humans after the infected attorney. Robots retain a snack next to the billfold. Terminator joins robots. Terminator longs for robots on top of her.
Mages seeking to call on the power of the gods can slay a boar in a temple under a full moon on the winter solstice.
