Millions of years into the future...... There is an alien invasion on earth. But don't worry
you don't have to sell your shares because the human species has gone extinct! The earth-landed aliens start exploring the earth for signs of life. But everything has gone completely dry and dead. Some amount of digging and they come across different kinds of fossils. Fossils of computing machines, robots, more and more intelligent machines....
Observing closer, they also see remnants of some other kind of "tools" that they presumed that would shape the intelligent machines. They conclude that the machines are the living organisms which evolved over a period of time. The aliens also reason out that the machines used the "tools" to actually make themselves better. They see the humans as the tools that the machines used to evolve themselves into better organisms!
We are already seeing the evolution of these machines and the important point is that the evolution has never been this fast. It took roughly 3 Billion years for the man to evolve
Whereas, it has not even taken 50 years for the intelligent machines that we are seeing today. Going by the natural process of evolution, it would have taken millions of years for such evolution to have happened. And now we see that people are making this evolution happen by working day in and out in front of computers, making them more intelligent, more integrated and filling them with more information. As i am publishing this blog, I am adding a small piece of information into this gigantic information warehouse which one day might act like a conscious, intelligent supermachine.
As I understand, it is nature's own way of speeding up the evolution process using humans as
a platform
