And no , it's not a video game or anything , but an actual term.
It refers to the "age" which technological advancementand scientific breakthroughs happen spontaneously within a few years.
Naturally , it's a referred term to a possible "future" of which humans have the technology of what we see in Sci-Fi Movies.
Of course , Star Destroyers and lightsabers ( You can't even control light flow in that manner) is a bit far fetched , but robots , deaging pills and other nutty inventions you can think of may be invented in the near future.
It does seem a bit unrealistic , particularly the inventions involved in the "Singularity" , but actual projects are actually going on , such as the methods of deaging and the inventions of machines that can "think and upgrade" themselves , causing their intelligence levels to surpass that of humans. Though currently , their roughly about as intelligent as a mouse.
Or maybe even the transfer of a "human mind" or rather , "conscience" to that of a robot ; immortal and efficient.
However , these have , after all , clashed with religious values of all races. Toying with the issues of life and death is particularly touchy from a religious point of view and abandoning one's flesh for steel does sound fairly...heinious.
So essentially , the point of today's blog is to ask whether you guys believe in the Singularity. Personally , I believe...half of it. I don't reckon it's gonna happen in 2045 for one , nor do I believe in the robot crap , but I DO believe in intellectual machines and deaging processes , after all , deaging have been proven...on mice that is.
Well , then again , mice have similar DNA structures to our own ( Believe it or not , that is EXACTLY the reason why they use lab rats for medication and vaccination experiments ) so I suppose deaging might prove possible in the future.
