THE SINGULARITY AND INDIA

I don't know if any of you have heard of The Singularity. Ray Kurzwell ,a well known inventor and futurist has written a book called the, "The Singularity is Near". According to him The Singularity is a moment in time when there will be smarter than human minds as a result of the exponential advancement of technlogies which could at some point become smarter than human intelligence and artifical intelligence , brain computer interfaces and genetic engineering are just some of the technologies that are headed in this direction. When we reach the singularity (which is also the word for a black hole) we cannot really imagine what will happen as this form of intelligence could be a trillion times more intelligent than humans. There are many respectable scientists too who think this is likely to happen around the year 2040 when Artifical Intelligence Surpasses human intelligence because these technologies are growing at an exponential speed. These machines you could say are getting smarter by the day in a mind boggling way. Personally I think this could happen too but I feel in many ways nothing much has really changed except that we have more pollution and cars on the roads. So what these guys think is that when this (the gingularity) happens the human mind cannot predict what the world will be like after this because these machines will take ove the world and we are not smart enough to fathom the future beyond this point. The articles on this subect are interesting and everyone should read them and form their own opinion of this event.

I feel once the machines take over, India will at long last be rid of all its corrupt politicians and we will have cleaner roads and the machines will see to it that people ae not allowed to use loud speakers to blare out deafening music and political messages and commercials and the sacred cows will have to go too. No buffaloes and humans crapping everywhere. People will to have only one child otherwise the machines will just terminate these guys who break the laws. All law breakers will be thrown in jail and reformed. India will become spic and span and people might even give up their belief in astrologers and pundits and all the other idiots you get in India.
