Ever since that apple of knowlege was first picked, we have all been doomed. Technology has been the bane of nature ever since the beggining. it has polluted, contaminated, and radiated humanking to the brink of extinsion. The UN should ban all uses of technology. The UN is our only hope of survival before we wipe ourselves off the anals of mother earth.

The human race is too big for Darwinian evolution to occur. Technology is our only hope for survival and progress into the Transhuman Era.

Which one is it vivelo. Are you saying God created the universe and man kind by initiating the big bang then left it to follow the laws of physics. Or that he is watching over us, constantly tinkering with our lives and deciding when we can advance?

The process of Darwinian evolution has been slowed in the human race. The survival of the fittest or more accurately the survival and successful reproduction of the fittest continues to occur, the problem for Darwinian evolution is the survival and the reproduction of the weakest (weaker). This is occurring through the development of technologies, however I believe further development of the human race can only be achieved through the advancement of science and technology.

The ability to pass information from one generation to another is the great driver that has separated the human race from the effects of Darwinian evolution. There continues to be an increase in the flow of information and ideas through the development of new technologies that can in the long run only aid the development of mankind, not in physical sense but at an intellectual level. Seeking to remove technology from the world is a regressive step and one that is naive, to think that we can move back to a golden age of some kind where all the information and discoveries could be forgotten, someone will always discover them again unless you wish to somehow blunt the human spirit. I agree we should always be engaged in thinking of ways to make the world a better place however we have to move forward, the world can be a better place for everyone and technology will not only be included but it will be through technology that this can be achieved.

Am I the only one that sees the irony in a race of machines telling us to ban all technology?

Tell ya what, we'll start phasing out the use of technology if you can stop using it yourselves first. I'd love to see an algorithim survive and affect it's environment without the processesors to keep it going, the sensors to feed it information about the outside world, the mechanical manipulators to move it about, the batteries to power it or the metal shell to hold it all together.

Come on, put yer money where yer proverbial mouth would be and lead the way ya chrome-domed calculator!

And they say organic beings are illogical.
