What replaces religion in finding a way to live after dying?
What replaces money for having what’s necessary to live on?
What replaces medicine in finding a cure for the disease you may catch?
.
One day, I was sitting in our family room watching my granddaughter Ruby. She was somewhere between 12 months to 18 months old. She was sitting on another couch with her mother’s iPhone in hand. She was concentrating on the images, then touching the button to see more images.
I was thoroughly amused. Her mother didn’t take the iPhone away.
I’m supposing those images were cartoon characters. Short sighted people may assume that those activities have started to pollute our children. They cry out, “all children do is play games on their computers.” Or, “all children do all day is text and message. We’re letting society drift if we don’t stop them.”
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In Ruby’s case, I’m guessing she’ll take giant leaps forward every three or four months. Soon she’ll search for different images. Eventually, those images will turn into information, and by the time she turns five, all those games she’ll find will have improved exponentially as intellectual tools as well as games.
When Ruby reaches young adulthood, she’ll be asking what young adults have been asking since human existence began. Is there life after death? Will I die from a terrible disease? How will I make money?
The device she now holds in her tiny little hand will have captured and stored enough information to be able to give her positive responses to these questions.
The device will answer YES to the first question, and give her how it can be done. If Ruby wants to live and not die it’ll happen. In fact it already is happening with cloning.
The answer to the second question will be NO. You will not die from a disease written into your genetic code. The device will then show her how to monitor her genetic code, and what drugs in existence or in trial form will eradicate the faulty gene before it ever manifests itself.
And the answer to the third question: there will be an automatic membership to bitcoin. Monthly checks from the federal government are deposited directly and automatically into her bitcoin account from the federal government. Her allowance from contributing to the international metadata bank gives her credit for the information she has contributed. Her allowance from the federal government for continually adding information to metadata is updated in real time. (By the way her account says she has been contributing to metadata since she was fifteen months old.)
Oh, yes, . . .
By the time Ruby has reached adulthood, people will be living on the moon, Mars, and mini planets that have been launched into space by Elon Musk’s son. Ruby, with device in hand, will be asking herself whether or not she and her children should be living on earth or some other neighborhood. Of course information will come up on the device indicating the answers.
The process won’t be a lot different than when as an infant she sat on the couch pushing the buttons on her mother’s handheld device.
Technology plus information plus a human equals life eternal.
Ruby will never look much older than thirty five years old.
Keep pushing those buttons Ruby. By the way, Ruby is fun to be around. I love that little girl. Greatness awaits her.
