Thirty years ago, we lived in a world of phones with disks and buttons, libraries with paper books, games at tables and outdoors, and computers somewhere outside the walls of institutes and design bureaus. But computers appeared on everyone’s desk, and then in the bag. On the phone, it became possible to watch a movie, games moved to virtual reality, and all this connected the network in which you can find anything, and ideas spread a thousand times faster than in the biospace of the old world, and quickly find those who need them more and more interesting than anyone else. Manfred Max is the most powerful engine of progress on Earth It generates ideas at the speed of a machine gun, it tests them for feasibility, and it knows how to make the invention quickly find someone who needs it and implement it. Sometimes they just spread around the world at the speed of lightning and make a revolution, sometimes you need to sweat properly to make things happen this way, and not somehow much worse, but the result is the same - the future is approaching with the efforts of enthusiasts. A whole army of electronic agents helps Manfred in this difficult matter At first, they are little more than automatic search programs, but as they become more complex and refined, they gradually acquire the features of human thoughts living somewhere there, in silico .. The motto of Manfred and others like him is “freedom of technology!” and there comes a time when electronic thinking power becomes available to everyone. The speed of the emergence of new inventions and ideas begins to grow irresistibly, they bring new additions to the mind and “iron”, and the feedback loop closes. The progress exhibitor turns into a curve with a vertical asymptotic What awaits us behind it?Translation — torque_xtr. Original — (under Creative Commons 2.) 5. )
