These technologies are going to change the human race

And you may not like that at all, but these technologies are going to change the human race!

Humans have developed rapidly. In no time we were at the top of the food chain and we are organizing the whole world. This is because we are self-learning. This will be no different in the future. These technologies are going to help us with that, this is described in a book by Bernard Marr. Whether we like it or not.

Technologies that are changing the human race

You can already see it happening. There is more and more artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning. They refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently, meaning they can make decisions, perform tasks, and even predict future outcomes based on what they learn from data. AI is going to revolutionize almost every facet of modern life. Stephen Hawking said, “Success in creating AI would be the greatest event in human history.” And Hawking immediately followed that up with: “Unfortunately, it could also be the last unless we learn how to avoid the risks.”

Another technology is genetic engineering. This is the better understanding and manipulation of DNA and genomes of living organisms. Gene editing is a group of technologies that allow genetic engineering to alter the DNA and genetic structure of living organisms. This opens up a range of possibilities that are almost limitless, as it means that any characteristic of a living organism that is inherited can theoretically be changed. Then you could theoretically prevent diseases.

Experts are sure, there will be human-computer interfaces in the future. These are wearable devices that help improve people’s physical and possibly mental performance. And thereby help us lead a healthier and better life. Extended Reality plays a role in this. It includes virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality and also refers to using technology to create more immersive digital experiences. We will be increasingly digital.
