Is the World progressing To Fast or To Slow?

At the rate technology and science is increasing (which is honestly exponential) do you believe we are becoming too advancing or stepping in the right direction?

To Fast

Side Score: 20
VS.

To Slow

Side Score: 28

Technology is progressing fast, but philosophical and spiritual things are no where near keeping pace. We are still following archaic religions that has nothing to do with modern ti,es

Side: To Fast

A good example is marriage. Back when bible written, you lived half as long. Now many people live double as long. So, it makes sense to have more than one mate in a lifetime. On May die, you may grow apart.

Excellent topic, my man!

One that intrigues all of us who are in science and/or technology.

I think that there is a good chance that the technological progress we have made over the past three decades or so is indeed on a curve that is a bit too steep fo comfort.

Further, there is an excellent chance this runaway technology will one day provide more harm than good.

An excellent writer on this topic is the futurist Ray Kurzweil. Who was the original founder of Sun Micro Systems.

He writes a lot about AI too! Artificial Intelligence. And how one day those computers we now think of as useful tools may one day think of US like that! LOL.

His best book on what you are talking about in this debate is called, "The Singularity is Near."

Here is a link to that book, where you can read some revies on it and check it out. I highly recommend it to anybody interested in the topic of Runaway Technology and its potential for harm to us homo sapiens!

Thanks!

Who said anything about global warming?

Or any other aspect of the planet's climatology?

The debate here is about the rapid advancement of our technology.

NOT Global Warming and you cold skinny hairless ass.

Try to keep up, will ya?

All that jizz must be rotting your brain.

LOL

It's not your debate so you probably shouldn't burn up any brain cells worrying about it.

Hey, for someone who said he wasn't going to be spending much time here... you sure as hell are. What's wrong? The dorks over at DDO aren't buying your bullshit either? Ha!

I think world progressing is going to slow because the earth is still snowing and raining and it is almost summer time which i hate. Also when people prevent guns there suppose to be gone so i thought but they are not obama what are you doing when you say no guns the don't listen because to many people have been dead like my uncle he died like 4 months ago and he got shot. So that is why i think its is running to slow. Also who ever voted for to fast stay on to fast side don't come over to, to slow there is a reasoning they have two sides.
