EVOLUTIONARIES
In the near future people will be able
to decide how they evolve. Evolution will be taken from the hands
of nature and we shall control what we become through science and
technology.
Breakthroughs such as nano technology
and A.I.will enable us to transcend the slow pace of human evolution
exponentially.
This may result in several and varied
evolutionary variations. Some may choose to have extremely strong
and large bodies like giant insects, while others may decide to
become small and invisible like a floating energy.
Nanobots and utility fog will make
the physical world and many of it's laws absolute.
Until we are able to control ALL THINGS,
(in which case it is conjectured that we have become god, and fulfilled
human destiny) we will be limited in the changes we can make to
ourselves. This could be an amazing period where we make ourselves
into our own 'Art Forms' as different and varied as snowflakes.
In this possible world, People will
transcend the physicality of eons of intelligence and physical evolution
in an amazing short period of time, (see The Singularity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity).
There may be those who will rebel against
what they see as "ungodly' modifications of the accepted human
form, (see Luddites, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite).
Early adopters of modification and
augmentation technologies may be termed "EVOLUTIONARIES".
