Is the destiny of the human species to sit back and play with our mouse and computer and imagine, fantasize?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We resemble computers intellectually and animals emotionally.
The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
The human race has a yearning to explore. That's part of our biological and psychological makeup.
We ogle plants and animals up close on television, the Internet and in the movies. We may not worship the animals we see, but we still regard them as necessary physical and spiritual companions. Technological nature can't completely satisfy that yearning.
Our relationships with our computers are almost sexual, they're so close. They're just such a huge part of our lives.
I think it's tragic that we have this human capacity, which appears to be hardwired, or so the evolutionary biologists say, for collective joy. We have these techniques for generating it that go back thousands of years, and yet we tend not to use this.
The human imagination has already come to conceive the possibility of recreating human society.
I write with a mouse, because it has no psychological associations or memories or habits associated with it.
Play begins as a major feature of mammalian evolution and remains as a major method of becoming reconciled with our present universe.
