Education, Technology, The Future No Comments
We have all had biology class in high school. We have all heard about the story of evolution as told by Darwin. Mankind has come a point in which it no longer evolves based on natural selection. Any person can have babies with any other person. Healthcare is for everyone and will not judge your physical incapabilities.
This change in human evolution might have severe consequences for our offspring.
A couple of thousands of years ago, someone invented education. We all know how education works even though much has changed since then. But there is something that hasn’t changed in all these years. The reason why we educate ourselves and our children. We educate ourselves to improve our chances of survival. By increasing the general knowledge of our population we, as human beings, have been able to increase our living standards and chances of survival to a point at which we decide what happens instead of faith deciding for us.
But more opportunities lie ahead. If we want to further improve the way we live, we will have to gather more about the way we live.
Our minds can only process a certain amount of information each day. Even with improved techniques such as speed reading and memory training, we could never out smart the computer. It is essential in the next phase of human evolution that we harness the processing power of these machines and use them to our personal benefit. By letting these machines collect data about our day to day life, they can analyze and predict events that will happen in our personal life’s.
Instead of relying on subjective personals information such as; “no I did not eat fries yesterday or no that does not hurt”. We should use the advantages of objective personal information to improve our living standards. By using the computers ability to recognize patterns and present information without judgment mankind will prepare itself for the next century. 2010 is almost over, 2011 is just around the corner.
