The Biotechnology Revolution
The very astounding part of Kurzweil’s speech was the acceleration of technology. "We all know first the computers occupied rooms, and then it changed. The invention of the transistors has made it possible for many people to use computers and has reduced the expensive price of computers. After that, the circuits were created on computers which served us much" he said. These great changes on computers mean that there will be some other immense changes later. "The computers will despair by 2020, instead, there will be only the embedded computers," he declared fortunately. Those predicted imbedded computers are very small and convenient. They are much cheaper than the desktop or laptop computers. "The price of an embedded computer will be one dollar," he assumed. Being bought easily and being hold effortlessly, everyone will have the embedded computers. Technology has impacted on our lives in many aspects, for example, the communication through internet, the environment, and the health. I abruptly felt like million dollars when I heard from Kurzweil saying, "We can put the embedded computers into our brains and bodies so as to resolve the disease." That will be a great achievement in the human history. Look, what technology does! Then we don't have to be scared by the unknown diseases or anything else because technology always has a resolution for our problems.
