Chapter Seventy-Four: Time, the Measure of Technology
.
"Reversal?"
When Gu Yu heard Zhen Li's argument, he couldn't help but nod and said:
"This is indeed a question worth thinking about, once the development of science and technology is strong to a certain extent, out of the control of people, it will gradually evolve from a tool for the development of civilization to a weapon for destroying this civilization!"
"Therefore, most people will think that while developing science and technology, we must also let science and technology feedback to people, be strong and strong to people, and parallel development is the premise of coexistence."
"It's true that our technology is much more powerful than people today...... I feel very uneasy, you look at these machines, they are more powerful than people, those intelligences, their functions are more comprehensive than people......" Sitting in front of Gu Pre, Zhen Li said in a cautious tone:
"If these machines are instilled with the will to replace man, I believe that it may not be long before the entire civilization will be turned upside down!"
"But our current development is inseparable from them, whether it is grassroots construction or cutting-edge science and technology process ......"
"We are falling behind our own civilization, behind our own tools, and this is the source of unease."
"I don't want us to be obsolete in the future, these machines, these tools in our hands, so we have to be strong ourselves, which is what we urgently need right now."
"We've got to have some technology that makes people, so that the general individual can be powerful quickly, I mean, a technology that is powerful in the way it needs to be, and I'm very uncomfortable ......with being so powerful in the way it is."
Zhen Li showed off his mechanical prosthetic body that now occupied half of his body, and said helplessly.
Gu Yu understood what Zhen Li was talking about, and the other party's discomfort was just a kind of self-rejection of the difference between flesh and blood and machinery.
In civilization, everyone has their own thoughts and self-concepts, and as long as these self-thoughts and concepts do not directly undermine or excite the development of civilization, their existence is a good thing.
In the development of mechanical science and technology, everyone's adaptability to the development of science and technology is different, and it takes a long time to make this scientific and technological adaptability reach a generally accepted level.
In this process, some people will always think that their original flesh and blood are the most perfect body, and the machine is just a tool, which cannot replace itself; However, some people who are born or acquired with imperfections in their bodies will see the essence of machinery and flesh faster than others when mechanical technology can compensate for their physical imperfections......
Some accept, some oppose, some worry, some fear...... These are very common phenomena, and it is normal for ordinary individuals today to be unable to control their own will and thinking at will, so some people cannot adapt to the rapid development of science and technology in the current civilization.
It is precisely because we know the nature of this normal phenomenon, rather than interpreting it as crazy and radical, that civilization needs a kind of guidance.
This kind of guidance must be a kind of far-sighted will that transcends the current grassroots concept of civilization and the current universal individual vision!
The bearer of this will can be a person, a group, or an ideal.
No matter how strong a person's strength is, no matter how vast his thoughts are, he will always be single, so there must be a group to carry this will.
When the strength and ideas of a group are gathered, it is a great ideal.
A civilization that is pushed forward by one person is sad, a civilization that is pushed forward by a group is bloody, but a civilization that is pushed forward by an ideal is brilliant.
From sorrow, to blood, to glory...... It's not a multiple-choice question, it's a required one!
The sad moment is long gone, so what's next......
Those who accept must be encouraged; Those who oppose must be corrected; Those who are worried and fearful, have to lead......
It is necessary to let the unsuitable adapt as soon as possible, and then use their own hands to grasp those "tools", so that the individual can connect more deeply with the whole and not let it go off the rails.
"The development and application of science and technology takes time, and it takes time for people to be strong, and it takes more time." After thinking for a while, Gu Pre said:
"If one day, people have to go ().. co
.
If the mechanical compromise of those technological creations allows them to replace some things, then people must not have lost to the so-called machinery at that time, nor the technological ...... they have mastered."
"What did you lose to?" Zhen Li asked impatiently.
"Time!" Gu Yu affirmed:
"People are the kind of life that gives people time, and they will always create some unimaginable great things in a limited time."
"As long as time is given to people and civilization is given time, no matter how powerful science and technology are, in the precision machinery, it will fall into the hands of people."
"Unfortunately, for a developing civilization that chooses to enter the world, there is always not enough time, and we can only do what we should do at a certain point in time."
"Just like a person's life, when you are a child, you should do what a child should do, and when you are an adult, you should do what an adult should do......"
"People need to grow, civilization also needs to grow, and people's growth needs to go through hardships and years, and the growth of civilization is to combine this scale and infinitely enlarge it."
"The only difference is that, in a general sense, it is difficult for ordinary people to grow from a child to an adult in one night, or a month, or a year, because of the tempering they have received."
"Civilization, on the other hand, can be turned upside down overnight, and in a very short period of time, it can make a leap forward."
"The civilization that has been developed in 5,000 years and the civilization that has been developed in 100 years is essentially no different, and the strength is the same...... However, there must be a gap and difference between the people who make up the 5,000-year-old civilization and the people who make up the 100-year-old civilization, even if they come from the same ethnic group. "
"I have always believed that different situations, different times, and different paths cannot use the same standard to measure and deny anything in a civilization......"
"The relationship between people and science and technology is only so simple, whether people master science and technology, or science and technology force people, as long as a certain scale is still grasped, it is still mutually promoting and developing."
"If the machine is strong to a certain extent, there will be a phenomenon of people replacing people with machines, which is worth worrying, but there is no need to worry too much, don't underestimate people."
"People who can be replaced by machinery may exist in a part of civilization, but they will not be the whole group, people will gradually adapt to the development of science and technology, and let the achievements of science and technology be combined with themselves to achieve a kind of detachment."
"Instead of being afraid of the power of science and technology, and worrying too much about whether this power will overwhelm you and bring you some excessive trouble, it is better to devote your limited time to other fields of thinking, so that you can sublimate and catch up faster."
Listening to Gu Yu's words, Zhen Li felt that his thinking had been opened to a certain window, but it was not completely opened, and the whole person was a little stunned.
"What do you mean is that the current scientific and technological scale of civilization is actually in our own hands......"
"Because some of the technology is in our hands, it has not been fully applied...... Some premature worries have brought unnecessary trouble. ".. co
