Future Of Technology

What is the Future of Technology? Some may point to upcoming technologies like cryptocurrencies and NFT, but I would argue that the future of technology is humans. What do you mean very wise person, I hear you ask, well I think that technology is about to merge with us on a biological level. Now, this might seem like some far way dystopian world that we are far from reaching, but it’s already becoming a reality. And all you have to look at to find it is companies like Neuralink. So how does this mash-up of man and machine look like? Well, Imagine being able to send and receive calls with your mind. Imagine not needing taking years to learn new subjects but instead days or even hours. All of this and soo much more can be possible through developing technologies like Neurallink. 

  Another way I believe technology will merge with humans is genetic modification. Genetic modification can open up soo many possibilities like the eradication of genetic diseases. And some may argue that this technology might lead to a world in which perfection is a standard. However, that cannot be a reason why we must not pursue a technology that could save countless lives. 

    So, what are the dangers posed by this upcoming technology? Technologies like brain chips can open the gates for a new type of illness, a digital one. Who’s to say that these chips aren’t susceptible to digital viruses like ransomware or spyware? The truth is such technology can gift us longer life spans, a better quality of life, and higher intelligence. But it can also open the gates to unforeseen consequences.

    Genetic modification can also pose a threat to humanity. Genetic modification technology will only get better the more we use it, and one day it can and will be used to create something dangerous. As a disease with a 100% mortality rate or an organism capable of god knows what. Soo, we must be careful on what and how we regulate this upcoming technology. 

   Genetic modification and Brain Chips are developing technologies and will likely continue to be for the next decade. In order to ensure the proper use of this technology, we must set aside our differences and root out corruption to increase our chances of not causing a Fermi Paradox. 

   So what about NFT’s and Crypto? The Cryptocurrency technology known as blockchain is the future of financial transactions. However, that’s not all it will do. Blockchain is capable of upgrading everything from Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, and even government election systems. Cryptocurrency is only a fraction of what blockchain can do and is likely to be the least influential. 

   As for NFT’s, they are not likely to be as big as blockchain, genetic modification, or brain chips due to being constrained by their primary purpose. 

CONCLUSION

   Genetic modification, blockchain, and Brain Chips are likely to be the big players in technological innovation in the coming decades. And although risks are posed by these new developing technologies. We must remember that we can control what it’s used for and the great improvements it will bring.
