Time for a paranoid sounding ramble!

Back! And stranger than ever! I've been thinking a long time about humanity and its future from here... I've come to realize that we're getting ready to take our next "evolutionary" step; We're on the brink of transfering our very being from a carbon to a silicon foundation. We are silmultaneously hurtling ourselves towards a life of existance solely on the computers, and creating computers that can thing, reason, communicate, even create, just like us.

We live now in an age where one can spends an entire (and reasonably) functional life without ever leaving their computer. Through that screen, you can shop for anything you could imagine, from food to clothes to entertainment (viewable on computers, of course) to company for the evening! People take courses online, while they're there, they chat with friends via instant messaging services, they plan a webcam party for that evening, switch tabs and order a pizza, and only even have to stand up to go to the bathroom! And we wonder why people arent getting enough exercise!

We are phasing out creativity at a furious rate too, movies become so formulaic, and charachters become so repeated that the viewing public doesn't even notice that every movie is now being released 3 times with a progressivly watered down plot (trilogies, pfft)... Music isn't a creative enterprize anymore, people dont buy guitars to make mucis anymore, they learn to play someone elses songs, and whats worse is that most of the "popular" music being made these days by robots anyway!

And on top of it all, there is a never-ending drive to make computers smarted and more like us, how often do you hear the words "intuitive software" these days its everywhere! You're golf clubs have a computer helping you play the game!

So to round it all out I submit this statement: Humanity is preparing itself to transfer conciousness, our very "soul" on to computer technology. We are working on making computers into brains, and weather that leads to Star Trek or to Terminator, its coming!
