Shift happens - Discussion.

well what do you think if you havn't seen the vid here is the link Here

well there is a limit to everything. one day humans won't be able to sustaine them selfs and well we won't befocusing on how fast our PCs are.

but some intresting facts to make you think

fascinating. especially the stuff about super computers.

inb4 skynet reference.

The thing that scares me the most is the one about how many children are born. Overpopulation is the next global warming, if we don't address it soon by the time we finally agree that it's a problem we'll be past the breaking point.

At first I thought you mispelled **** on prupose.

But damn, that was tight!

Thats probably the most interesting thing I've seen in a while.

:o thats crazy

Some of those stats were misleading (such as broadband internet penetration), as well as some "facts" (just because a computer has the computational power of the human brain doesn't mean it will be able to make any use of it. Computers have long been many, many times more powerful when it comes to just algorithmic calculations, yet humans still have many advantages). Overall though, I found that video to be an eye opener which, frankly, has me a little worried. By the time I'm 60-years-old all of my marketable skills will probably be useless. :(

Computers will become better then the brain in lots of things not just calculations (future robots) and also that cable in Japan that transfers that data is real.

It's possible that this indeed will be the case one day, but I seriously doubt that'll happen by 2013.

I thought this was going to be about Dilbert and his attempt to invent a quantum computer. I can't believe I remembered that strip.

What I got from that is my education is pretty much useless,thats depressing.freshwb

I don't want any of it. Computer does all the thinking, where goes the mind of mankind? Internet so far has been international flaming, spam and pron. Not such a great recommendation to start. Too much technology getting in way anymore because we keep funding it. Consumer money spent is getting mistaken as our governmental voice. When they make a computer with zero fault, then I may get more impressed. Fix humanity before the machine which serves him.

Does this mean computers will be whipping our backs and making us build great pyramids?

did you know...?

that over 77% of statistics are made up.

the vid still seemed truthful and logical. but hey, what can you do about it?

that an awesome clip :)

:D Do you prefer Renyolds or the Generic equivalent? - I also have extra tinfoil hats in my bomb shelter...

This was posted a week ago, but the video was plain black with white font. Still interesting though. Not quite sure what the China thing meant though....soulfood4

blab blabby blab crankiness

That's "TOO SLOW" ? I have dialup!...sheesh... I live in my bomb shelter wearing a tinfoil hat- I can never hope to keep technology up for lack of money. Spend mine on medical coverage, mortgage, and paying elected officials. Maybe this computer will make them go away, and I get my taxes back? Otherwise I must become even more freakish to society and disappear like neanderthal...:cry:
