the role of technology in polarization and spirituality

[Oldern]

I've been thinking about technology lately. There's a thingy out there called "Moore"s Law" or something like that, which tells how technology's advancement double's every two years. And we're at a point now where the plateau is about to be reached. Now we're talking this law has been around since the fifties. The problem is the chips are getting too small and running too hot and soon we'll be at the point where the processors start to melt. (extreme layman's understanding) Anyway, there have already been experiments with bio-computers which use and store information in DNA strands. And here is where I find it getting real interesting! Someday soon we will possibly have a living computer! It makes me think that perhaps we are the same; just a highly advanced bio-computer! Then again maybe not, but if a bio-computer becomes advanced enough, what then if it becomes sentient?

-thinking-

Do not forget about quantum computers!

Oh, Plenum, in response to what has been said: I believe that fundamentally, there is little difference* between animal growth farms and serverparks. What is happening is that we "enslave" physical existences without even thinking about them and thanking them. Complex existences wait for our commands daily and sometimes people just hit them and get mad at them for "not working properly" - which, of course, does little to help these poor computers, really.

If we move forward, a more respectful way of communication/interaction is needed between the computing power interfaces (what we call PC's or tablets or whatever) and our minds.

Also, I have had many, many interesting issues with other people who treated their PC's poorly and did not love it, and their systems have broken down 20-40 times in a matter of 3-5 years - and during that time, I did not have a single blue-screen of death or did not need a single Windows reinstall, lol. Some say it is just a coincidence, but those are non-existent. I still have my pc from 2004 and it still works like a charm, even if it has seen some stuff (college!). I used a decade-old pc around 2002 and still managed to play games that had higher system requirements on it (Heroes friggin IV, Diablo II expansion on a P166 with 64mb ram and 4mb vram...). I used machines with supposed warranty of 1-2 years for 5+ years while for some, same type of things went and broke down before warranty was up or days after...

Treating everything around us with love is really the way to progress forward, I think.

*difference being that enslaved computers are 1st density beings, animals are 2d, of course.
