Where do you think communication will go in the future?

I guess what I mean is more and more often people only communicate virtually, by text message, email and instant messenger. People are starting to get identified on television by their screen names if they do anything online like poker or gaming. I see couples going to work and eating dinner in restaurants that are on their cell phones and blackberries.

We also see trends where young kids don't learn how to spell (because they communicate in internet speak), use grammar or do anything by hand like writing or math.

So what do you think is going to happen?
 
I think we will have implanted chips. It is just a matter of time. Why read a book when you can download it your brain.
 
Texting will evolve into its own language that the technology "haves" will use. Then the technology "have nots" will be relegated to the Spanish language and be the worker bee class.

And the world will be ruled by damn dirty apes!

Fuck I hope so. So pointless wasting months / years of your life training or studying for something.

I almost did my research project on this very dilemma but was discouraged by the professors cause it wasn't mainstream and to 'out there' so I didn't and instead focused on attacking the media marketization of our culture industries and how it has fucked us all up, in accord with our doing too... but anyway here is the problem, right now our limited understanding 3 entities time, space, and knowledge dictate our perceptions on reality... for example notice how time is speeding up... well this is due our limited form of knowledge, the kind that is based on logic and measuring out by a type of knowledge that divides and classifies, which proliferates data upon data, and now we are engulfed in a sea of data, unable to retain our present bearings... well now they are basing computer models mimicing the brain, and will soon have a model based on this limited form of knowledge, what if something that makes us human, like creativity, love, wonder, empathy... is all left out of the equation? Trust me a wider more encompassing knowledge is available... only time will tell what will happen to us our destiny or fate.

ummmm, a lot of that went over my head, but if I got 10% of it, I think you were talking about replacing our brains with computers. I dont like the idea of that, but I sure as hell would be down for a better filing system that supports rapid upload and no need for constant reinforcement. I read somewhere that our brains can store approximately 100 tb of data........but much of that goes towards spatial processing and images etc.

You need better professors. Unique ideas like that need to be nurtured and refined, not abandoned.
 
E Communication is great between people who know each other or far away.

But Personal Communication, with an emphasis on body language and visual - is 1000% necessary still for negotiations or meeting people (like women) for the first time.

This will NEVER change.

You'll never be able to pickup a hot chick online with a profile of a smiley face.

I read some marketing study that showed 75% of all in person communication is non-verbal (body signs etc.) Perhaps the future of the internet will involve some form of translating our non-verbal communications into something digital.

+1 lol!!!
 
I've always thought we would have some kind of microphone or earpiece stithced into our jaws or face somewhere, instead of having a cellphone. Now with the advent of bluetooth earpieces, I can see people wearing earings that would do the same thing. Imagine wearing a tiny earing that would be your cellphone and have it on 24/7? Permanent cellphone/communications.


It would recharge itself on your earwax. Don't hate, I'm still working on it!

I'll admit I haven't heard of this and I read a ton of stuff. How I missed this I do not know - it is very exciting. I am ordering some of the books tomorrow on Amazon.

Kurzweil is a genius and even what he says has ramifications in reality concerning aspects that only vedic, gnostic, and buddhist religion referrred to... I know that sounds esoteric, antedeluvian and flat out weird, but his creative ideas transcend our classifications of man and machine. This is jumbled cause what I want to express hasn't came to the surface, but I will get back to you AV once I collect my thoughts.
 
In 2005, futurist and transhumanist Ray Kurzweil published his book The Singularity is Near. This book maintains that by 2025, most manufacturing will be done on a largely local basis using nanofabricators. Kurzweil further predicts that over the next 40 years, human beings, by the incorporation of nanobots into their metabolisms, will gradually evolve into immortal humanoid androids by 2045, by which time advances in computer technology (it assumed that Moore's Law will continue to hold) will allow the uploading of the minds of the vast majority of the human race (as well as the minds of the numerous humanoid robots that Kurzweil predicts will be in existence by then) into a worldwide supercomputer--an event called by Kurzweil the Singularity. Kurzweil envisions that those who are uploaded into the supercomputer will be able to live forever in virtual reality (possessing virtual reality bodies [ avatars ] that can be morphed into any desired form), as well as possessing vastly expanded super-intelligence. Kurzweil believes that the supercomputer will expand outward into the Solar System and convert a significant percentage of the matter in the Solar System into carbon nanotubes (the material out of which the supercomputer will be made). Within a few decades after the Singulariy, Kurzweil asserts the supercomputer's robot helpers will have established a Kardashev Level II society in this solar system. Then, Kurzweil predicts that the supercomputer will reach out for galactic domination by sending out a massive fleet of small starships manned by swarms of nanobots (programmed to replicate additional supercomputers utilizing the matter of other star systems) to colonize the Milky Way Galaxy. After galactic domination has been achieved, the galactic supercomputer will organize the establishment of a Kardashev Level III society in our galaxy.
