The Brave New Singularity

In just a few years technology chould soon rule over humanity. In Lev Grossman's article, 2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal, Grossman describes how in about 35 years human civilization could come to an end. As the years past us by, the technology is getting more intellegent but also more intellegent than humans. To many people they believe this is just a false statement and would never happen in our lifetime.

This technology could never well do everything us humans can do. Grossman describes in his article, "not just doing arithmetic very quickly or composing piano music but also driving cars, writing books, making ethical decisions, appreciating fancy paintings, making witty observations at cocktail parties." (Grossman). If it is possible for technology to be able to do what humans can do, then that just shows how intellegent they are. If they can be that intellegent then they can get faster and faster until they are smarter than humans.

In Brave New World, the New World is sort of the technology world. The New World has technology that is continueing growing faster and faster than humanity. They have helicopter and their high buildings. They also have factories that create humans. Technology is basicaly building the humans and create they to be high caste or low caste. Even though the Director is deciding if the humans are high or low caste, the technology helps develope the brain to think what the Director wants them to think by playing someone talking over and over again.By this way the technology is still kind of creating the humans.

In the Brave New World, Huxley described, " because most of them die long before they reach this old creature's age. Youth almost unimpaired till sixty, and then, crack! the end." (Huxley, 111). This is the difference between Brave New World and the article. In the article, Grossman describes that technology would make us live much longer than now, and in Brave New World it describes that humans die at around sixty years. I believe that the world will never come to an agreement until it actually happens.
