I often find myself thinking how helpless we become without the Internet. Why take in information, accumulate experience and knowledge, if at any time you can go online and use search engines? Science claims that since the 80s the number of children with congenital social maladjustment has progressed. This overlaps with the so-called “rule of the hundredth monkey”, according to which when a critical number of individuals with a certain experience is reached, the latter becomes part of the information field of the whole society.
Now, few people deny that the computer is an organic continuation of our intellect. The idea of ​​technological singularity, the revival in the 90s of the science of eniology, in the end our way of life with you is a confirmation of this. The question is how to evaluate and how to use this knowledge.

The advantage of the system under consideration is to level the value of a person’s location: you are nowhere and at the same time you are everywhere while you are connected to the global network. You have unlimited access to information and the opportunity to devote yourself to true creativity, because the computational and physical functions remain with automated mechanisms. We live at the dawn of an era in which the field of human activity is limited to culture and the arts in their most diverse manifestations, and all the routine work will be left to those who write the program code.
Of course, there will always be deviations from the intended trend, because with any public organization there is a subject of authority. The question is whether the periphery of globalization (like China) will be able to keep the Iron Curtain in the conditions of information transmission in a non-contact way. Rather no than yes, but this is a matter of the distant future.
The danger in this whole situation is exactly the same: with the collapse of the system that forms before our eyes, humanity will be thrown into the Stone Age. History always repeats itself, the development of civilizations proceeds according to a cycle model and the final collapse is inevitable. The end result of thinking at first glance seemed absurd even to me, but in trying to look far ahead, I see a bright future only in the colonization of the universe around us. After all, the primary mechanism for protecting any system is the “backup” process (creating a copy of the data on the data recovery media in the original or new location where they are damaged or destroyed).
