Viruses no more is a must

To me it’s like we are slipping into more and more MICRO contact under the guise of MACRO connection. Yes it will be more global, more and more connections. Faster and faster. It must be like what the brain itself does, with
trillions of neurons firing off messages simutaneously every second of every day. Only WE become the neurons, sending and receiving messages. And neurons seem to be in a constant highly charged, highly excitable state. As a big picture person, I’m not a fan of minutia to infinity and beyond. Perhaps this is why the matrix movie and meditation were popular. One was a great illustration of technology spinning out of control, without any thinking ahead and the other becomes more necessary as humans get out of breath from this forced acceleration. I realize I have a choice, but I also know I’m standing on the grid with all this “humina humina”. And personally, I think the more we rely on our devices, the less we stay in contact with our ability to potentialize. It could be fun..but I think a human brain operating at 100% would be a LOT more interesting. Just sayin….

I don’t have a simple answer to this. It needs serious thought.

Perhaps if you offer up some constructive suggestions for the improvement of the future of the human race people might listen. No sense getting frustrated. What kind of miracle were you after?

“The Cloud” is going to turn in to a cloud burst.

There is far too much room for espionage. With so much data conveniently stored in one place this is far too convenient for government sanctioned hackers and regular hackers. It is also easier for corporate espionage, and if miscreants decide to take down “the cloud” they can send an army of botnets to perform DOS attacks against an entire cloud network. How will corporations react when thousands or millions of workers can’t do their job? How will this effect our economy and what government actions will have to be taken to prevent a disaster?

How will media corporations take advantage of the Digital Millennium Act to gain access to peoples login credentials to look for copyright infringements? How will the media corporations threaten legal action against “the cloud” corporations and attempt to control what goes on in peoples private cloud? Right now the media corporations can threaten jail time for the bosses of businesses that can’t control what their anonymous users do, they force them to filter out content whether or not the content is proven legal or illegal, and a host of many other ill-conceived actions. How is this going to affect how “the cloud” operates?

Even if you have nothing to hide, do you really feel comfortable with having governments, corporations or staff of “cloud” corporations peering in at all of your private online activities? Would you feel comfortable knowing that some pervert employee from a “cloud” corporation has the ability to look at your child’s personal pictures? Would it bother you if your insurance company was able to get full access to your medical files without your knowledge or permission? Would you feel comfortable if someone made an false accusation against you and your information was handed over without your knowledge? What if a corporation also makes false allegations against you and all of your corporate and trade secrets were handed over to them?

In my opinion, I think “the cloud” is a very bad idea. There is too much room for exploitation and abuse. The term “big brother” also comes to mind.

Wow, that’s a pretty pessimistic view for someone who’s only 13!

The world has a lot of issues right now yes, but I don’t think it’s quite the end yet. Previous times of recession or difficulty have always yielded new innovations and advances.

Don’t write humanity off just yet, if American can get rid of Bush and elect a black president anything is possible!

I don’t mean to put you down or anything, but none of that will happen unless a miricle will happen. The economy is racing down and the world is getting destroyed. In ten years we may not even exist and life as we know it will be no more. If we don’t stop to try and realize the problem that humans are destroying the world. We won’t be existing for much longer. I’m just putting in my 2 cents about this because i don’t know much because I am only 13. But I’m not blind (no offense to blind people) but i know that the world is plumitting to nothing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientest to figure that out! Well thats jus my opinion of the future. =] One person cant effect the world.

I agree with you to an extent but how do we define humanity? Is it something static or something that can change? Could this just be the next step in our evolution?

There are no clear answers here but the future is in our hands…
