WHY DOES THE FUTURE NOT NEED US?

There is no future without us. We are and we're made with the very brightest future
imaginable. This world is very much a womb which is being used by God to reproduce Himself.Even our
bodies come into play as they assert the needs of the flesh over our spiritual need. It opposes us in
almost every way but God placed us in this biological suit to strengthen the spirit within us. The future
going to be much better than you can imagine and the greatest truth and beauty about God is that He
has placed an infinite value on each of us and we will be like Him in a very short time. No humans are
needed, also earth will not be needed. And nature as a whole is not needed anymore. Everything will be
unnecessary and existence will just stop. When nothing exist anymore. Still people are not needed. The
future is advance for what will happened to our life . it was who already know what will happened to
you next day,next year or in a minute , but the future will end up of death. Because we humans doesn't
need the future and the future doesn't need us. The future needs next generations not humans. When
God is coming we humans will disappear. So God will make next generations and us humans will
disappear. So that's the explanation why the future doesn't need us. The World the future is the new
technology that can be try to destroy our nature or earth. We are not good people we don't do the good
things. It's because of the rapid evolve of technology and no wonder if the future will not need the
humans anymore because it can move itself using electronic materials, robots, etc. Future human beings
will be lazy and all the high tech machines will be doing all the work. people just need to trust the
government for your future needs. all we can do is to enjoy our selves like traveling or if you really want
to earn money you can just be a vlogger or a YouTuber or a influencer. f the machines are permitted to
make all their own decisions, we can’t make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to
guess how such machines might behave. We only point out that the fate of the human race would be at
the mercy of the machines. It might be argued that the human race would never be foolish enough to
hand over all the power to the machines. But we are suggesting neither that the human race would
voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power. What we
do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence
on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines’ decisions. As
society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and
more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because
machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be
reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human
beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective
control. People won’t be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them
that turning them off would amount to suicide.
 On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In
that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or
his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite –
just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater
control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be
superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to
exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological
or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the
world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of
good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone’s physical needs are
satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a
wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes
“treatment” to cure his “problem.” Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be
biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or make
them “sublimate” their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may
be happy in such a society, but they will most certainly not be free. They will have been reduced to the
status of domestic animals. It's the end of the world as we know it, if we don't stop feeling so fine.
Without a conscious effort on our part, (and maybe even this won’t be enough) we will create
technology that causes the extinction (or at the very least, a diminished importance) of the human race.
This is the basic premise in "Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us," an article by Bill Joy appearing in Wired
magazine. Bill shared his experiences on how his work has made a significant difference in oursociety
today, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of technology to us humans,including military power,
political aspects, health aspects, and our overall daily life.I'm still in awe of how brilliant technology is.
Consider living at a time when technologyhas not yet been developed. Thanks to the industrial
revolution, we now have access toall of the possibilities made possible by technology. My first thought
after reading theentire piece was, "Wow, how can a small machine solve a problem, check a
solution,and have the intelligence to determine the correct and wrong, truth and the lie?" All ofthis is
programmable on a computer. These programs can also be transformed intomachines that have a
significant impact on society.But let's take a look at both sides of the coin. Going into the beneficial
benefits of thetechnologies listed in the journal, the first that I observed is for security purposes. As
previously said, machine-made decisions are more accurate than human-madedecisions. For example,
when we go to the mall and check customers' belongings, theguard may accidentally miss detecting a
metal or deadly weapon, especially if theperpetrator is very good at concealing it, but with the help of
technology, people'ssecurity has been tightened due to, for example, metal detectors.Second, it will
enhance the medical field, particularly in the discovery of cures andtherapies for the illness. Unbounding
the Future: The Nanotechnology Revolution,co-authored by Drexler, imagines some of the changes that
might occur in a world wheremolecular-level "assemblers" could enable cures for cancer and the
common coldthrough immune system augmentation, essentially complete environmental
cleanup,incredibly inexpensive pocket supercomputers—in fact, assemblers could manufactureany
product at a low cost. There are still many flaws in our current healthcare system,years of research are
still needed but imagine the advances it can bring years from nowthanks to the great ideas of our
innovators.

Looking at the negative consequences of these amazing ideas, I realized that we

canbecome too dependent on technology, and humans will no longer have any duties. Whatwould
humanity do if we become overly reliant on technology? It will undoubtedly disruptthe pattern of how
society functions, with humans at the bottom of society. “Human workwill no longer be necessary, the
masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on thesystem.” as mentioned in the journal. In addition, It
may also be out of control; because itis programmed, there is a possibility that it will self-replicate or
create problems that areout of control; the problem with technology is that when it is not functioning
properly,everything is affected; for example, if our internet provider experiences a problem, all ofour
works and tasks that are connected to the internet will be affected. “The gray goothreat makes one
thing perfectly clear: We cannot afford certain kinds of accidents withreplicating assemblers. It is even
possible that self-replication may be more fundamentalthan we thought, and hence harder—or even
impossible to control. Presently, there are some works of man that are replaced by machinery
works and robots. Production of several products are now handed to the machines and robots that were
once tasks of humans. With this, manpower has been going dependent into robots and machines.
Human's jobs are gradually getting closer into usage of robotics. Yes, there are advantages. There is a
less usage of time and effort, there's an equal creation of products for the works of machines and
robots are programmed, and lesser amount of money is spent. However, let us think of the unemployed
people. Just like in the movies entitled "A.I." and "I Robot", human dependence is into robotic
assistance. Humans create realistic robots that tend to be their assistants. We can't hide the
possibility that this could happen in the future. As what they say, there's no impossible with science. So,
we must be aware of what could these inventions affect us, not just for a short span of time but also
with the future. Maybe, because of our too much dependence on robots, we don't need other
humans for we have robots as our companion and our slave as well. See? Human essence would
slightly turn unimportant if not given attention and importance. I had missed Ray's talk and the
subsequent panel that Ray and John had been on, and they now picked right up where they'd left off,
with Ray saying that the rate of improvement of technology was going to accelerate and that we were
going to become robots or fuse with robots or something like that, and John countering that this
couldn't happen, because the robots couldn't be conscious. While I had heard such talk before, I had
always felt sentient robots were in the realm of science fiction. But now, from someone I respected, I
was hearing a strong argument that they were a near-term possibility. I was taken aback, especially
given Ray's proven ability to imagine and create the future. I already knew that new technologies like
genetic engineering and nanotechnology were giving us the power to remake the world, but a realistic
and imminent scenario for intelligent robots surprised me.
