What will be in our Future?

Thinking about the future in terms of technology is a very ambiguous task. One man, Ray Kurzweil, has taken on this task and has made some pretty accurate predictions. He believes that technology is growing and its intelligence rapidly, which will continue to grow exponentially. One thought is that computers will have more intelligence than all humans combined. Their technology advances will be able to cure all sicknesses from humans, increasing their life dramatically. Kurzweil believes that death is just a disease that can be cured. One thought contradicting his thoughts of computers reaching Singularity, the term given to when a computers are more powerful and more intelligent than humans, is who will program the computers? A human has to be there to give instructions to computers. The most important contradiction is, if computers are the most powerful, where would they get their energy from? There has to be a human there to keep the machine powered by some source. That being said, can life really be lived in a totally virtual environment? We know that our life is real, but if we put ourself in a totally artificial world, what would power that world? Would it be known that the “virtual, artificial world” is all just a program we would place ourselves in? These questions may be answered in the next hundred years. Until then, the future is just a reality we continue to make predictions about.
