...metric system,equal to one billion of ametre(10-9). * Technology is the making usage and knowledge and tools,techinques and machines,in order to solve a problem or to perform specific function | | “ Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating in a nanoscale” Nanotechnology in computing: Computing includes designing, developing and building hardware and software systems; processing, structuring, and managing various kinds of information; doing scientific research on and with computers; making computer systems behave intelligently; and creating and using communications and entertainment media. Nanocomputing:”A nanocomputer is a computer whose physical dimensions are microscopic. The field of nanocomputing is part of the emerging field of nanotechnology . Several types of nanocomputers have been suggested or proposed by researchers and futurists.” Nanocomputing, as defined in this report, refers to computing systems which are constructed from nanoscale compo- nents. The issues that need to be faced for successful realization of nanocomputers relate to the scale and integration of the components. nanotechnology and its type: Electronic nanocomputers would operate in a manner similar to the way present-day microcomputers work. Most engineers agree that technology has not yet come close to pushing this limit. By 1970s standards, today's ordinary microprocessors might be called nanodevices. Chemical and biochemical nanocomputers would store and process information in...

Als die ontwikkeling zo blijft doorgaan, kan er worden vastgesteld dat het werk in de toekomst zal worden uitgevoerd door grote, complexe systemen (en machines) en dat wij, de mensen, niet meer nodig zullen zijn in het helpen uitvoeren. Dan heb je te maken met 2 mogelijke gevallen. Óf machines nemen alle beslissingen zelf óf mensen houden een controle functie over de machines en helpen daarom mee met beslissingen. Als machines de autoriteit hebben om zelf beslissingen te maken, kunnen we de resultaten niet betwisten omdat wij zelf geen idee hebben hoe dit tot stand is gekomen. Ons lot ligt in de hand van machines en systemen, alhoewel wij dat zelf hebben weggegeven. Waarom zouden wij vrijwillig onze macht overdragen aan machines? Dat komt omdat...

The last generation to be unaugmented. The last generation to be intellectually alone. The last generation to be limited by our bodies. We are the first. The first generation to be augmented. The first generation to be intellectually together. The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. We stand both before and after, balancing on the razor edge of the Event Horizon of the Singularity. That this sublime juxtapositional tautology has gone unnoticed until now is itself remarkable. We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.
