Transition from bit processing to shared thought generation.
The NeurolNet Commission and this conference network explores new approaches to solving information technology problems. The capabilities of distributed processing, stringing together of many computers in order to process as one, has been proven, as has the “doubling leaps” related to the size of data packets processed simultaneously. However, in the future there will be leaps which will make todays processing seem archaic.
It is inevitable that carbon-based life form thought processing will be networked, and networked computer processing will resemble those of carbon life forms. The processing, storage, and retrieval gaps between man-made machines and carbon-based life forms is narrowing. Humans are communicating globally, at light speed. At some point, humans will not only be connected in communicating with computers, beyond bio-feedback interfaces, and machines embedded with computers, but humans will also close the gaps in communicating with other species, and will communicate with each other in ways previously imagined in science fiction.
As science pushes on, whether or not this “progress” is good or moral will be widely debated by armchair philosophers and defensive theologians. It does not require prophets to predict the benefits will be shown to serve certain interests. Questions will be raised. Concerns will seem extremely important for a time, and then will suddenly become moot.
A common theme will be “those with the best technology win”, and will be supported by those who have no idea what they are agreeing to. We can only hope the meek will derive benefits on the same level as the elite, those who love peace will have the same information as those in command authority, and that the benefits are inherited by all. Therefore, informative publications will be important in educating the masses.
The goal of the NeurolNet Commisson and this NeurolNet computer network is similar to the goals of many other websites; information and communication. The system is also set up structurally to have a multi-node architecture to provide for some flexibility and experimentation. Some of the nodes are set up exactly the same, while some have differences ranging from negligible to obvious. There are interfaces between the users and the computers, as all nodes are interactive, which is typical of most modern websites. Also, like other modern day networked computers, there are interfaces from computer to computer and from user to user.
