The phrase "the good old days" is somewhat ubiquitous to our culture (is it possible to be only somewhat ubiquitous?) This phrase, of course, generally refers to the past, but I don't believe that to be the case. The good old days, you see, take place not in the past, but the future. The internet and other global technologies allow anyone from anywhere to share their thoughts. Such unprecedented dissemination of new ideas means only good things for us as partakers in and purveyors of media. As purveyors it means we can always find an audience (so long as we are of at least moderate talent,) and as partakers it means that the stuff that comes at us is top-notch. New records in media are being set and broken every year.
Probably.
Even if computers do learn how to become actively intelligent, it wouldn't be that bad, would it? It's not like they take up space like we do. They exist purely in electronic form, meaning they can't... feel. Senses to them are- I mean, would be- completely different. Seeing through a camera would be entirely separate from looking through eyes. They wouldn't have senses as we know them, inside their metal boxes. Poor guys.
But maybe I'm getting off of the subject. More on this later, maybe?
