Computer and telecommunications are already giving us access to large amounts of information.
They are increasing our brain power. As computers become more powerful they will grow more
intelligent. There seems no reason why machines should not become more intelligent than people in
the future. Computers will start to design and build other computers. They will then be able to evolve.
There will then be two forms of "life". Many thousands of years in the future there might be
competition for power between computers and life. Which will win?
Well, computers certainly have many advantages over life. They can
process large amounts of information quickly
be switched off for years, then start to work perfectly when they are switched back on
be made very small, and control tiny machines
work together in networks to solve big problems
Furthermore
Electronics is much simpler than life's chemistry and does not need liquid water.
Unlike animals, which rely on plants to turn sunlight into chemical energy, semiconductors (the
material that" computers are made from) can turn sunlight directly into electricity.
When you compare computers to people the advantages are even more obvious
Computers do not have the instincts to fight which people seem to have.
It takes only a few seconds to load a program into a computer but years to educate a human.
When computers get out of date their information can be passed to new computers, but when
people get old and die all their knowledge is lost.
For all these reasons computers are believed to be more successful and important than life many
thousands of years in the future. It will be computers, not people, to colonize the other planets and
explore the Galaxy. Life will be left behind on Earth, as a treasured relic of where computers came
from. However it is possible that computers and life might merge to make anew, even more powerful
form of intelligent being.
36. In the future, mankind and computers will have a serious war for survival.
a. True

b. False

c. No information

37. A computer can design and build other ones.
a. True

b. False

c. No information
