In about ten years, computer technology as we know it will stop advancing. Computer chips will not be able to get any smaller or any faster. That is when computer technology based on molecules will take over. From what I have seen in the last ten years, computers in 100 years will be whatever our imaginations can come up with. That could be good, but that could also be very bad. Given the capacity of the imagination, I am very concerned about what will happen because of technology.
The egotistic condition of being human is something that needs to be taken into account when debating for or against the advancement of technology. One trait people have that helps them survive is their self-centered outlook which extends to the outer limits of the universe. With the birth of Homo sapiens came intelligence and egotism great enough to threaten the equilibrium of the planet. People like to form nature around their lives, not the other way around. The human race is literally in a fight with nature.
One very strong instinct people have is to not die. In 100 years people will be having a debate on whether or not it is ethical to digitize our minds in order to live forever. I hope I am wrong, but I believe that if given enough time, we will be able to create some sort of an eternity. As we become more like computers and computers become more like us there will be a new species of life. We will have created life—computers with feelings and thoughts. In the future it will be easy to forget the implications of the advancements of technology because information will be more desirable than knowledge.
People will be able to have digital children that will never be in physical form and will never wear out or die. The children of the future will have “gods” for parents. The kids’ eternal life will depend on whether or not the parents grant it. This new world (or worlds) will inhabit people that are not conditioned by earth’s way of evolution where parents care for their kids because of a specie’s need to procreate in order to survive. The evolution of computers (or the people inside of them) will be shaped only by gaining comprehension of ways to “delete” others in order to survive forever.
Some serious contemplating needs to be done on this issue. One human flaw that may kill us in the end is the fact that we are too smart for our own good and yet too dumb to realize it. But, if we believe that our only flaw is in not advancing, then denial will be what ultimately kills us. If we are to survive we will need to understand that we do not understand and accept some things as they are.

you can get something with less features but more responsive in linux, with the ability to have multiple keyboards as well, or, just the ability of having more than 1 user on more than 1 monitor at the same time. its called mpx, its free, and developed by 1 person. what does that show about microsoft?
