we make a link to the singularity:
singularity
Globalization leads to the interconnectedness of the world.
The limitation of our scope of action on the ground with the result that any development in any way Executed "internal" needs.
An evolution of efficiency is the consequence of global market competition
particular time is a factor that takes a lot of efficiency. Distances must be bridged in order to transport products and to furnish information. This is the Internet certainly a milestone. The trend is towards an increasingly dense network between all people in order to have uninterrupted access to everything as possible.
The closer you get to this state, the less relevant, local information. For our immediate environment is changed by the ubiquity of more and more things to the detriment of the relevance of previously existing things in our environment.
This leads to a declining significance of geographical boundaries. The growing
Koorperation between different countries is an indication. Even without the Internet there have been at least to some extent to do so (eg EU, WTO, UN).
If you think ahead a little result, it almost inevitably the denationalization of the world.
Gruppenzugehoerigkeit is determined about the future interests in common. About the corresponding spread of such groups can be anywhere in the world. The Internet connects them. Of course, before that, the electronic communication be developed much further. Complete simulation of virtual reality would be no problem in theory. The exponential development, the opportunity to be in the foreseeable future.
The Al-Qaeda, I would consider one of the first in the "Action" ARISE groups, which occurs virtually geographically independent.
The denationalization has a reverse effect of internationalization. It is always easier to international interests Use to global objectives that because fewer and fewer national barricades impede cooperation.
leads the same time, a higher global reactive. Were global settlements in the past, only with much effort brought about, the future looks very different. Humanity is increasingly resemble an intelligent network. This network is of course also be further developed in an exponential pace. Analogous to the development of the nervous system in the biological evolution, it is realistic to expect that here a kind of collective intelligence is awakened.
some, this scenario may be reminiscent of the Borg from Star Strek. The comparison is not that bad. However, it is probably not the DC circuit of individuals are necessary. Probably not even desirable.
One might then imagine that humanity as a giant brain, whose neurons are human. As a requirement for
such a collective intelligence, it would first give tasks can use anywhere where their potential, so that she trains on and on.
The global shift away from fossil energy carriers I can think of one of the first of these tasks. On the whole, is
require the development of technologies, global cooperation, made for a collective intelligence. Particularly interesting in light then my view is to the space available.
In what time frame should be imagine that?
If we assume that the singularity will occur in less than 50 years, what I do, the question is how much progress the networking before. Intuitively designed for me both about the same rate. Both followed in any case an exponential pace. One can imagine how dramatic the singularity global intelligence will step in and how quickly it all happens. But here I bestride too take the path of speculation to reliable information, especially as the reality of both developments at the limit of our imagination and beyond that moved.
