The Brave New Singularity
In the article, “2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal:” by Lev Grossman, she/he
explains that computer are becoming so advance they might even pass us up and have artificial
intelligence. Computers are a thing of the past, present, and now and forever our future. We as
humans are becoming so dependent on all technology that we won’t be able to do things for
ourselves but at the same time it is our fault for making more and better pieces of technology.
Grossman goes into a further description of how technology is advancing past human
intelligence. For example she talks about how computers will, “not just [do] arithmetic very
quickly or composing piano music but also driving cars, writing music, making ethical decisions,
appreciation fancy paintings, making witty conversations at cocktail parties (2045: The Year
Man Becomes Immortal 1). Each day man will get smarter and make more with his brain. The
human mind is endless and if that is so then computers will not endless.
To me merging with technology would be a bad thing because we could lose ourselves in
all this technology and never find ourselves or find a way back to humanity. There will be no end
unless we put a stop to it now. If we keep on going with technological advances there is always
going to be a way to improve. One step more, we would never reach the end; it’s not going to
completely stop.
Bernard from, “Brave New World” isn’t the smartest or the most physically fitter then
most alphas but he does have an open mind. His open mind is starting to tell him that something
bad will happen soon because of being in that factory for so long and not know what true
freedom is like. He starts to see that this form of government is bad and that it need to be fixed or
he has to get out of there some how.
