Where is the world going towards.?

Answer 1

I am a computer scientist and I have seen that with the rate of advancement in computer technology and artificial intelligence we are very soon to create a new species of non living existence capable to think and act on its own. Consider the advancement of machines (which only started the past 50 years) and the advancement of the human species (which took millions of years) up to their current state and just compare the two.
The phenomenon of singularity has been discussed many times and the signs are the following
Accelerating returns: S-curves of change are occurring much more rapidly, forcing humans to cope with unexpected resource diversity. Much of this exists in the form of bona fide forms of abundance, for which there are few or no means of effective absorption and equitable distribution.
Advances in genetics: By many definitions of creation, including those within religious systems and conservative science, humans are about to become as gods.
Advances in nanotechnologies: Richard Feynman pointed out a basic new direction for R&D: toward the much, much smaller. After a clumsy start that attempted to blend Newtonian mechanics with nanomachinery, the field has broadened and moved into chemistry, circuitry, and molecular self-assembly.
Advances in robotics: The more spectacular advances in robotics are occurring at the level of microelectromechanical systems. In many ways less sophisticated than nanobots, mems offer the potential for a myriad of near-term applications, including some within the human body.
Advances in computational capacities: According to Ray Kurzweil, reverse engineering of the human brain is on a path to duplicate the brain’s circuitry within one or two decades. Cost estimates of such systems are projected to follow the now-familiar downward curve even as capabilities skyrocket.
Advances in understanding human intelligence: Intelligence may need to be redefined as higher-order domains of potential and capability rather than properties specific only to humans. Dovetailed intelligent humans and smart machines have already begun to generate a gradual equation of organic and inorganic intelligence potentials and capabilities.
Virtual reality is beginning to complement reality: In a yin-yang manner, virtual reality (VR) and classical reality (CR) are dovetailing as well as coexisting. Distinctions between VR and CR may gradually dissipate as the properties of both are defined and measured empirically and as more blended systems and experiences are created.
Paradigm shifts in thought and the senses are emerging as important cultural software: It will become ordinary to speak of paradigm changes outside the boundaries of cognition. Knowledge and innovation workers must change their thinking and feelings both anticipatorily and reactively to create opportunities and cope with sudden changes.
The future is more difficult to imagine than ever before: The more information that becomes available through trends, scenarios and visions, the more that numerous alternative futures can be created. Alvin Toffler recognized this in 1967, but it is an insight that continues to provoke claims that humans are incapable of entertaining more than a handful of future alternatives, most of them utopic (all too “unlikely”) or dystopic (all too “likely”).
Accelerating technological change is accelerating social change: Technological advances routinely change our cultural norms, political systems, economics, and modes of thinking. New cultures are routinely created, both as new configurations of blends of existing cultures (transcultures) and innovative, designed, personal cultures (postcultures).

Therefore, the world is steadily heading towards its destruction no doubt about it.

Answer 2

Society moves in many directions at the same time. The individual, local communities, larger conglomerations, nations and then entire planet all form a variety of directions to which we move.

Many people are unaware of the role of language and the changes that have been emerging worldwide. Various nations are forming pan- unions around language issues establish power bases.

Answer 3

From the beginning of time, it has been going to Hell. It was so beautiful and full of miracles until mankind chose to have his own way with it. Now, creatures are extinct, the air is polluted. the sun's rays burn and cause cancers, addictions are legal. wars rage daily and children live in pain and fear of adult abuses. That's just scratching the itch; its far nastier if you look more closely. Blaming God is the same as pouting and blaming your Mama because she warned you not to do something but you did it anyway and got hurt.

Answer 4

Don't stress over where the world is going. Relax and focus on where YOU are going. You can't do anything about the world.

Answer 5

In right direction. In olden days our economy was so low that we households for decades. Now the situation demand new things and people can afford to dispose the old every year.

Answer 6

Of course, towards disaster. Everything has a limit dear.

Answer 7

On a collision course with Andromeda Galaxy...

Answer 8

The world will go in the right path..If UNCLE SAM stopped killing people 'round the world

that's my pointview..........

Answer 9

Round around. Andromada is heading our way. That will change things.

Answer 10

Around the sun!
