Anthum

Could one day super-computers achieve the capabilities of a collective or global brain? I do think that super computers can achieve the capabilities of a global brain. If you think about it like this, a lot of our computers are ran from just one big power. For example, at school all of our desk tops and laptops are ran from the central office. This means that they can see evrything we do.

Will computers, at best, provide an outboard brain or could they replace ours entirely? If so, then what happens when the motherboard crashes or the power goes out? I do think that computers could replace ours entirely. Now a days we use technology more than anything. From computers to phones to emails. It's a necesity! If the power goes out either one or two things will happen: (1) it will be on a battery or generator so it can will stay on or (2) we will all be lost!

How quickly could it respond to changes (economic, climate, political, etc)?
The way that technology is growing now a days it will be really easy for it to adapt to the climate, economy, and politics. It may even find solutions to help with the problems of each.
