See the picture above that's a picture of Michelangelo's " Creation of Adam ". On one side we have God and His celestial host and on the other Adam. Now lets take a closer look...
See that notice how the hand does not touch but seems to want to reach out. Now this week I would like to discuss the importance...

You see mankind strives to connect with the unknown. We have always asked ourselves what lies beyond the norms of conditioning. It's is our nature to learn more and learn to what extent. Is it a greater good? Who knows.. no one has ever crossed the line to let us know...but what I do know is unlike back then we now have helpers in exploring the unknown and gathering vast arrays of knowledge these are what we now call...

No its not DOTA...( XD I couldnt resist )

Kidding aside we now have machines to do this for us. From machines that do our hard labor for us to machines that do our simplest of tasks to machines that actually think for us . In anyway you look at it we have now become dependent on these machines or attached in some way that we can no longer live without them ( people we need rehab ) . These machines are neither good or bad nor do they think for themselves. Not even an AI can program themselves ( as Prof allan calls them " dumb machines " ) it all depends on how we use them. For example a gun was created to DEFEND but people can also use it to HARM and KILL. It is in this way that we label machines as harmful or harmless... but what about the one we use everyday..whats is called again....Oh yea...THE COMPUTER so which is it? Harmful? or Harmless?

For me the computer is one of the most powerful abstract representation of both "harmless" and "harmful" and logically so is technology in that sense. It is trivial to label technology as good or bad ; we must look to its deeper functionalities and in what way we can use it to improve ourselves , our lives and our outlooks. We use it to gain access vaults of transcending knowledge through the use of the internet, we use it to entertain ourselves through multimedia,we use it to communicate, and last but not the least we use it to contain cast amounts of data through storage.

In that sense, We are now capable of transcending our knowledge through the use of cyber-space. The moment when you open that firefox, netscape, internet explorer you are accessing a new world : A world filled with new sensations and designs ; a world of imagination and functions and a world filled with vast layers of knowledge just waiting to be tapped...

Ladies and gentlemen, The Age of Technology...
"We connect to the void which abstracts our knowledge..."
