Intro-
Merging with
machines is an idea that came along through Kurzweil’s book Singularity
where he talks about the future being run by machines. By merging machines a
chip will be placed in the minds of humans merging the brain of human and
machine together. In Kurzweil’s book he explains how that the human
intelligence will emerge with the machine so the human mind will be controlled
by technology. Humans are not going to be able to think on their own once the
merge begins. Machines are not meant to merge with humans because humans are
independent creatures that do not need the intelligence of machines to survive.
The idea of merging machines would allow the human mind to combine with machine
technology. If humans merge there will be a huge impact on humans, religion,
and the society
Detail -
A world that is run by machines would not be a free
world because it takes away the free will that all humans are born with. People
will no longer be able to think for themselves; instead the government will
take over and be able to monitor every single move. All man is born free and
should be allowed to choose the way they live in the world. The impact that
machines would have on life would be extreme because there will be a major
change in humans that will change everything This will make it so that humans
will be incapable of choosing what they want in life. Humans will conform to
any type of living once controlled by machine. (Grossman 2011)
The impact of the merging machines will also change
religion itself because Religion is mostly based on there being a greater
power. So the whole idea of combining with machinery will change the whole way
of living. The merging of the human mind and machinery will change the whole
religion because when God made the earth and all creation he did not intend for
people to be robots but to live and be in relationships with other human
beings. (Kaku 2011)
The impact of machines merging with humans will
affect the world as a whole as well. The world is full of jobs and working
class people that work to make a living. So there will not be a point to having
money and making money any more. Robots don’t need food and if we merge with
machines we will electrically be wired to do certain things. (Farrar 2008)
Conclusion-
Sooner or later when technology is even more advanced
then it already is today scientists will find a way to merge the mind of humans
with machines to make humans even twice as fast than we are already. The whole
point of doing this is so the world can be more ahead in technology so that
other places will be farther behind us. But the impact of this will be huge
towards religion, humans and the world itself.
Overall Thoughts –The whole idea of
merging with machines is very risky and dangerous to the laws of nature. I
don’t think it will happen but at the rate technology is progressing it has a
possibility.
