HUMANS VS TECHNOLOGY : Humans should be worried !

 We all are curious about the secrets of our universe, there are so many other planets and for sure many are undiscovered yet. so the question is  " are we really alone ? Or is there anyone else like us ? ". There's a theory that many have existed but each passing civilization have become so technologically advanced that they ended up causing their own destruction.

Through time as the technology has evolved our intelligence, speed and strength has decreased. we have already started to experience it, our dependence on Google maps, online transaction, calculator, Google keep  etc.

HOW MANY TIMES YOU FORGOT YOUR SMART PHONE AND LITERALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOURSELF ? 

Since we have already adopted technology as our means of entertainment and survival, it leads us to the less usage of our brain i.e decrease in intelligence level.

Technology is evolving real fast. No doubt it has helped the world in development, we have learned to generate electricity, made rockets, experienced virtual reality, explored space and if we look at our surrounding there are many thing consists of technology which helped us in our daily life but they have also affected humans in different ways, think of how technology have replaced humans and you will get to know about the loss we are facing. for example think in this way " how many people in the world remembers their contact numbers ? " Some may but many may not. Now let's go back in time when there was no smart phones, no telephone only way of communication was either go and meet or write a letter but then telephone made an entry and since then humans started to avoid old ways of communication, In some ways it is beneficial but it became harmful when that technology got updated and then smartphones phones made their entry and it made everything easier and many things possible like capturing a moment, playing games with virtual reality but with time people started to totally depend on them. Postmen were replaced with Emails, Living in the moment was replaced with freezing the moment (camera's), late night hide and seek or any other out-door games are replaced with mobile and PC games, we connect with the world using INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK and TWITTER but forgot to connect with our surroundings.

We know how evolution works, we are the product of it. So if technology replaces us, our usages of brain decreases where does that leads us ? Well I would say to the FUTURE where humans are less interesting and less useful compared to technology.

I can see a future where ROBOT takes our place in every field and aspects. Robots would plays sports, they would lead armies, we have already witnessed many sports where robots are used, We will see robo-wars instead of boxing and Formula 1 racing cars replaced by AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) powered vehicles, Humans would be sitting and watching this using virtual reality devices but somewhere reality will fade away.

Technology won't just dominate entertainment but also our jobs. There will be a day when machine would be an actor, comedian, chef, sports player, they would run companies and maybe countries too. Even jobs as complex as radiology, using medical images to diagnose patients which takes humans almost 10 years to learn could be replaced with AI TECH, these all seems fancy but definitely has the potential to become a reality.

But were will AI lead us ? 

It is said that " A machine can never be more capable than the person who invented it " because they think machine can only be able to do what it was programmed to do. But if you don't know let me tell to that AI is actually built with the ability to learn. so when you want it to learn, it will definitely change it's behavior in future.  

No doubt AI is in the development of the world and time again we will be using it to resolve our enigma but if somehow AI became aware about the fact that the cause of the issue is none other than the humans itself (Eventually in some extent they will actually be correct) then they might find a solution as the termination of human race.

HUMANS WOULD JUST BE A SIDE KICK TO TECHNOLOGY UNLESS WE MERGE WITH IT.

BRAIN MACHINE INTERFACE something that connects our brains to the machines, if you look at every possible solution the only conclusion you will get to avoid the human destruction is brain machine interface.

Infact ELON MUSK the founder of Tesla is convinced by the idea, he said " EVEN IN A BENIGN SCENARIO HUMANS WILL BE LEFT BEHIND " means even if there's a situation where AI doesn't decide if they want to terminate us or not ? humans will just become irrelevant unless we start to upgrade ourselves. And it just not has to be our surroundings but within us too. There's another company which is working on this known as NEURALINK. They have created a machine which looks more like a sewing machine that can accurately put tiny electrodes with an extremely high precision, these electrodes are designed to send and receive data to the device it is connected with. Currently there are rats on whom they have tested this on, with USB-C ports taking out of their heads.

The Left image shows the electrodes on the surface of rat cortex and the right images shows the chips which is implanted in a rat.

In short terms, the goal of these techs are said to help people with brain diseases. But Neuralink have also clearly stated that this will be joined in the goal of human enhancement. So, if it works the way it is suppose to, human would not just use AI but also become an AI. It would be a whole new level of tech which could help humans to connect with cloud, gain unlimited memory storage, our AI could diagnose diseases, you will be aware of every symptoms years ago. Calling someone would be like a thought, calculations, maps, shopping everything will be so much easier and faster. And gaining knowledge will be faster than ever, one could just download knowledge.

It's not just about AI, It's about WHAT HUMANS COULD DO ? with the power like AI merged with humans, it will possess more threat to humanity. Even without AI, humans have created weapons to destroy the world in the form of NUCLEAR POWER and they are regularly fighting to be greater than each other, they are being competitive and as the competition increases the rate of inventions increases. With the power like AI, humans will fight to rule the world and this will lead us to our own destruction. And merging humans with AI has its own issues, it can lead to the possibility of development of new viruses and hacking of brains like hypnotism. Humans are never satisfied and this will lead them to the WAR for survival.

To be honest no one can possibly imagine THE FUTURE REALITY. 

But the question is, Is it really HUMANS VS TECHNOLOGY ? or Is it HUMANS VS HUMANS ?
