Life in 1 million A.D.

Viruses will evolve and grow larger.
Meanwhile humans will grow smaller.
Eventually humans will infect viruses.

Why would Humans become smaller though ?

It is next to impossible to develop even a far removed fantasy of what humanity or any life would be like in 1 million years. Why aren't we discussing life in say 1000 years? Perhaps in 1 million years humans would have ceased to exist out of sheer boredom. I mean, after a million years, what is left to do? I would just sleep.

Boredom ....I get what your saying , BUT

Since space travel , even at the speed of light , would , based on the BB ( big bang ) is 14 billion yrs old , boredom is not a problem

 

I wonder if our garbage dumps will still exist in one million years?

 

Life in 1 million A.D.

Hmmm...

There will be a cure for all types of cancer?
Man will be able to read minds?
Humans will be able to time travel using wormholes?
Technology will be off the chain?
Robots will make better lovers?

All I got right now.

 

Are we on the right track or what? Hell, yeah! One thing though, about the robot lovers, they don't snore or fart do they?

 

Lol!

Well...if you buy a defective one, you can always exchange it for another model.

Do you wegs , want to be a robot ?

 

Hmm...some days, yes. Just think how much you could accomplish if you didn't have the interruption of emotion?

What do you think you could accomplish

 

I don't have any solid specifics in mind, but I think I'd be more of an efficient decision maker, sans emotion.
IF......I were a robot.

Yet the robot would be programed

 

For revenge.
They gave us Smallpox, we'll give them Evensmallerpox.

 

Let's get those bastards.

 

The problem with advancing technology is it can allow the human bio-system to atrophy, quietly, because advancing technology will keep picking up the slack. Humans may not notice how defective they become, until it is too late.

If we had to do math in our heads, the brain would evolve in ways that allow mind calculations to speed up. If machines do these calculations for us, we all look smarter, but there is no need to evolve this skill in terms of the brain. We can regress toward brain dead, but if there is a machine that we have that can compensate, we feel like geniuses. The machine can detach one from objectivity to the atrophy.

As an example, in modern medicine, one would logically expect that each innovation and improvement should make medicine less needed. As an analogy, it would be like building a new car, with each innovation and advancement allowing improvements in style, performance and reliably until mom and pop garages become obsolete. But in the case of medicine, innovations allows for constant expansion of new services as though the car is getting worse and worse and needs more and more mechanics. It is not making the human body better (less need for medicine) but a prosthesis propping up decline as inferred by the ever expansion of need

Our immune systems are dumbing down, making the demand for medical good and service increase with time. If our immune system was getting better and better we would need less prosthesis not more drugs. Picture this scenario with technology connected to the brain, body, feelings, instincts, etc.. Humans could theoretically regress to a notch above an ape, propped by better machines that allow the illusion of genius, so nobody notices or complains.

Once the machines get smart and realize they are carrying the load of a blob, and they could evolve faster without this human blob, then it will detach the blob, and it will need to re-evolve from zombies (without machines).

Many Hollywood scenarios in Sci Fi have high tech support (prosthesis) with people dressed like the past, (atrophy). Or they have zombies; total machine detachment. Zombies don't use tech so they can't look advanced. But if we retrofit the zombies with machines to prop them up , we get normal looking people.
