The many concepts spoken in this article are very interesting because of the technology that are presented in the concept have many different features that defines itself. The idea of aging backwards like the movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” give me many new thoughts of what the future will be like if everyone stays young like in Brave New World and no one dies of any disease or fatal injury. Immortality will be gained through these ideas.
“Maybe we'll merge with them to become super-intelligent cyborgs, using computers to extend our intellectual abilities the same way that cars and planes extend our physical abilities.” If we were to become one with the intellect of a computer, many problems may occur (even though is does sound cool). This is a good thing because the blind will now be able to see, crippled individuals will now be able to walk, and many more. This is also a bad thing because these computers will be able to be hacked from a hacker or our reality will become like the movie “Gamer”, where anyone can be controlled because of the Nano machines in their body. To be combined with computers makes us less authentically human because they will no longer have the human traits but will just have the human thoughts. To be authentically human is to have the power to do things yourself, like sweat, grow hair, or any other bodily actions.
Bernard in, Brave New World, is onto something because if the reproduction of humans is altered, then everything else will be altered. If the progress of technology continues to grow then I believe that we humans will be in danger of technology controlling us or even putting us into extinction. We will then move down on the chain of commands and technology will soon upgrade itself.
