Ngesizathu esithile, oku kubonakala ngathi kuyabakhathaza abantu.(Ifoto: Josep Castells / Unsplash) Esi sithuba savela kuqala Quora : Ngaba abantu bayakufezekisa ukuhamba phakathi kweenkwenkwezi?
HAYI. Akunakuze. Akunakuze, nokuba li-100 lamawaka ezigidi zeminyaka ukusukela ngoku. Akunakuze. Ngokucacileyo, oku kulandelayo luluvo lwam oluqikelelweyo kakhulu. Kubonakala ngathi iyabakhathaza abantu. Abanye bakubiza ngokuba lithemba. Abanye bayibiza ngokuba nethemba. Noba yintoni. Ingcinga yam nje.
Ukuba iintlobo zethu zihlala zikho kule minyaka iliwaka izayo- okuthetha ukuba asizibulali ngezifo ezinobunjineli, okanye i-Yellowstone ayidubuli isibulale sonke, okanye impembelelo efana ne-KT ayenzeki- ekugqibeleni siyakuyeka ungumntu kwiinkulungwane ezimbalwa.
Iinkulungwane? Hayi kwizigidi zeminyaka?
Ewe. Ngaphandle kokuba siyaqhubeka (a) esele sikhona kunye (b) nokuqhubela phambili kwitekhnoloji, phakathi kwale nkulungwane, siya kuba nakho ukufikelela kuyo yonke i-genome, i-nano-teknoloji (okanye ubuncinci, i-roboti encinci) kunye ne-AI. Obo buchwephesha, ukuba sizama nzima ngakumbi ukugqitha ikhosi yabo esengqiqweni, kuthetha ukuba ngaxa lithile kwiinkulungwane ezimbalwa ezizayo, akusayi kubakho homo sapiens. Mhlawumbi abantu abambalwa bayokukhetha ukuhlala bekwimo yabo yakudala, kodwa ezo zinto ziya kuhlala eMhlabeni okanye kwizikhululo zasemajukujukwini, zibuthathaka kakhulu kwaye zingesosigxina; Iswele kakhulu ukupakisha kwiinqanawa ezixineneyo zokuhamba phakathi kweenkwenkwezi.
Ukuba inzala yethu iyasinda, iya kuyilungisa imfuzo. Mhlawumbi ayizukuba prosaic kude kube yi-2125, kodwa ngaxa lithile kungekudala, isilingo sokususa zonke iimpawu ezimbi ziya kuba nzima. Isilingo sokuphucula kunye nekhowudi ethile yemfuza evela kwamanye amarhamncwa iya kuba nzima. Isilingo sokwenza ngcono ngeentsimbi ezingezizo — esidibanisa kulwazi olukhawulezileyo, kanye kwingqondo- siyakuba namandla. Isilingo sokwenza izinto ezintsha zebhayoloji ezingacingelwanga nguMama Wendalo ngokupheleleyo eziqulunqwe sithi kunye netekhnoloji yethu yekhompyuter ehambele phambili (mhlawumbi udonga lweseli elitsha, i-mitochondria eyakhiwe ngokutsha, okanye icandelo leseli esingenakucinga ngalo namhlanje) liya kuba lukhulu .
Ngexesha elithile, emva kotshintsho olwaneleyo, asiyi kuphinda sibe ngabantu kwakhona. Ngokuqinisekileyo asiyi kuba yi-homo sapiens. Siya kuba yenye into… UKUBA siphila ixesha elide kwaye siqhubeka nokuqhubela phambili kwezobuchwepheshe. Intlekele yehlabathi inokutshabalalisa impucuko yethu kodwa ishiye amawaka ambalwa kuthi aphoswe emva elingana neminyaka emihlanu. Kodwa ukuba siyasinda kwaye siqhubeke nokuqhubela phambili, i-homo sapiens yenziwa kwiinkulungwane ezimbalwa kwelona xesha lide; inkulungwane kwelona lifutshane.
Ngexesha elithile, iteknoloji yokuqhubela phambili iya kuvula ukuzidibanisa, ukwenza iirobhothi ezizenzekelayo ezikhulisa ukukhula okubonakalayo okunokuba sisiphelo sethu okanye ukuphakama kwethu kwincopho yamandla kule cosmos. Ngobomi obandiselwe kwiminyaka emininzi yeminyaka, kunye neengqondo ze-VR kunye ne-AI yokuhamba malunga nenkqubo yelanga, ixesha aliyi kuba ne-cachet efanayo njengoko injalo namhlanje. Uhambo oluya ku .01c, ukuthatha i-1 000-1,500 yeminyaka ukuwela umsantsa phakathi kweenkwenkwezi akunakuba nantsingiselo kubomi babo bantu - izidalwa ezingafiyo ngokusempilweni ezibona ixesha njengengathinteliyo.
Ezo zidalwa, ukuba ziphela zikhona, ziya kufezekisa ukuhamba phakathi kweenkwenkwezi. Hayi thina. Hayi abantu. Ungaze homo sapiens, kodwa bona.
Amakhonkco ahambelana:
Zeziphi ezona mveliso zintle okanye izinto ezilungisiweyo ezingaziwa ngabantu abaninzi?
Zeziphi ezona zinto zibalulekileyo u-Tesla azise ezimotweni ngaphandle kokuba ziqhutywa kwibhetri endaweni yepetroli?
Yeyiphi itekhnoloji eya kuqhubela phambili ukuhlola indawo?
