The End of The World

Chimps do not control humans. And most of us are just barely a notch smarter than a chimp (I`ll give Mr. Gates 2 notches :-). If you follow Moore`s law to its ultimate conclusion, we will be a nuisance at best to whatever comes after us. The best you can hope for is to produce brilliant works of art that will outlast you. Or to get off this planet and start another world somewhere else. I hear China is on the verge of peopled space flight! That is exciting! Another space race anyone? When are India and Pakistan joining the fray? Nothing like a little international competition to propel us to Mars :-)

Q

How much will change, really? Proxy wars will be replaced by protocol wars. Oppression will be replaced by Denial of Service attacks. Hunger will be replaced by lack of electricity and UPS. Governments will be replaced by massively parallel operating systems. And, Bill Gates will still control the technology, hyper-advanced or not.
