#3 "Work It Harder Make It Better Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger" - sincerely, the human race

The singularity is an event that is believed to be the beginning of the age or super A.I. (Age of Ultron) This will cause us, the human race, to fall behind in trying to comprehend this new machines and we will either have to become more like them or be cast off as obsolete. Kruzwell believe this will being in 2045 and I believe that there is truth to this theory. We already see cyborgs now in our time. War vets have robots limbs, mechanical eyes, and event those that can’t speak have a machine to talk through to convey thoughts.
I see nothing wrong with using technology to advance medicine and to better life for humanity for humans to physically function as humans to the best of their ability. Fusing such technology in this way can and has better the lives of many families. However, just like needless plastic surgery, there will be people that abuse the use of this technology. I can imagine even a black market of robot gun arms and laser legs for criminals to use on citizens. And who will be in charge of such a large industry?
AIDS won’t be the only thing people will have to worry about. If we are fused with technology, are checkups to the doctor will soon require us to fill out what type of virus do we have, physical or technological. It is true even in today’s time that things aren’t built sturdy like they use to because companies want people to keep coming back for the newest thing and having their laptops or phone break within 2 years is a perfect way to insure money flow. How much more for technology that is fused in our bodies? Every year we is something go wrong with the flu shots, if we allow technology to enter into us, imagine the implications and damage done internally to citizens. And let’s not forget that robotic research will still be on the rise as well
The problem comes into play when we add on to things we simply don’t need. Kruzwell also believes that there will be better A.I as well that will rebuild and generate more o itself. We don’t need A.I.s building other machines that are better than itself in every way better than us. It is a simple fact that only the strongest survive and that dominant traits are passed down more often than recessive. Likewise the machines, how will be better at everything won’t need us. Sure they are advanced enough in morality and reason, but what is the most reasonable thing according to a non-based carbon life form? Meaning if they will be better than us, even in thought, would we be able to comprehend the best for humanity. Will they? If so, what is best for the human race according to them? (Assuming they will care)

I close with the following: know the limits. Of course there technically aren’t any, but there needs to be a point in which we simply cannot go beyond for the sake of the lives of humanity. as of right now, this technology is good, but any more and we will have more problems to deal with.
