It
is difficult to guess how far 3-D printing will change manufacturing.
A Wal-Mart or ABC Corp might locate a 3-D printer at a remote
location in Alaska and a consumer could go on-line to buy a product
that would instantly be produced without need for transport delays.
There might be a lot of jobs converting products into 3-D printable
designs. Even N.A.S.A. could get in the business of locating 3-D
printers on space stations, Mars and the Moon to print out useful
tools and components, rovers and solar panels without need of
shipping from Earth.
One
might expect designers to build 3-D printers that can make 3-D
printers. Radical manufacturing and production economic relocations
could follow development of 3-D printers cutting global transport
costs and fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere. yet all is not
peaches and creme with tech innovation obviously. Killing humans and
drugging them is still profitable and will probably remain so for
government and business. Remora drones with stealth and high-tech
stickiness able to attach to international shipping and aircraft to
piggyback to destinations such as Boston release after arrival in
port of call and fly or swim themselves to contraband operators may
arise to let billionaire narco-traffickers and nuke weapons providers
bring their products to consumers/aka soft targets. The potential for
inventive adaptations and synthetic recombinations of existing
technology always exists below the surface of thought. How will
concentrated wealth security protect the rich and royals from nuclear
and biological weapons proliferation and attack in a global economy
with advanced, disseminated chippiness? Why one might wonder, should
anyone care if affordable health care denies double-sized portion of
French potato fries or China rice fries?
There
is a good side and a down side to all the global computer chippiness.
Adolph Eichmann used I.B.M. Holereth card-countin computers to
finesse the transport and liquidation of Jews in the second act of
world war one named logically World War Two ( uncompleted with the
failure to battle to unconditional surrender of the kaiser or the
better choice to not intervene to rescue the British colonial evil
empire to start with), China bought I.B.M.’s PC division and the
Red Army affiliate eventually to makes pretty good Lenovo computers
for consumers after Bill Gate’s use for the exclusive sale of
software for I.B.M. PCs had run its course-there isn’t much good in
that perhaps-and none of course with the numbering and elimination of
ethnic minorities yet the inertia of business and inherited
technology flows on like an amoeba evolving though consuming some
peripheral humans (in Nepal?).
The
first idea though is more conventional and exploits just ordinary
electronics; namely the use of new forms of dehumidifier to capture
water for drinking aboard boats and along dry coastal areas.
Desalinating pumps trend to be expensive yet there is a lot of
dehumidifying tech that might be adapted to sequester water taken
from the atmosphere-perhaps solar powered.
Another
idea is the use of micro-tech for tiny biochemical chips and perhaps
rft tech to monitor major organ functions in the human body. Why not
inject a very tiny prostate health monitoring chips where it can
broadcast the chemical status or presence of cancer cells to a
computer equipped with a bluetooth-like wireless receiver of data.
There are already ubiquitous rft chips and receivers around the
U.S.A. as has been reported. Every individual computer could be made
into a health monitoring device with instant alerts of changes in
body chemistry, temperature or heart performance that require
attention.
If
one thinks about it there should be numerous alternate approaches to
traditional surgical remedies for medical issues with new micro
technology and localized artificial intelligence servo-units.
Billions of people including the world’s poor might received nearly
no cost core medical screening with implanted microscopic health
monitors given the right configuration of mass density size shape
temperature through-put and biochemical ratios, transmission
capability of data and ubiquitous interpretive programs reduced to a
non-invasive size and form.
One
day the Internet may disappear and become transcended by Quantum
computing and quantum information teleportation of a scale with no
limits to anyone’s band-width or transmission capability.
Quantitative information transmission would be instantaneous
world-wide and on-line chess games would be fair with no disadvantage
to a player in a state with low Internet speed compared to a fast
data speed nation. One can look ahead a little and foresee the
possibilities for good chess games.
It
isn’t difficult to imagine quantum-cloud based medical monitoring
of all humans and most life forms one day. Of course it would be
easier for covenant-based Christians to adapt to that advancing
technology than dispensational premillenialists I would think, while
Muslims might still be looking for some way to jihad it all. Godless
atheists could seeking to corner the market and restrict transmission
speed and access in order that a hierarchy of wealth and domination
of power might continue for evil elites. Even so the possibilities
are endless and beyond social amoebazation of any sort that butches
without borders neo-scientific fascists might pursue. After all,
corruption exists and existed without need of advanced technology
though it inevitably seeks to exploit new tech for nefarious
purposes.
Cheap
computer chips mean and potential room temperature superconductors
could revolutionize military strategies. Vast clouds of anti-body
Frisbee sized anti-personnel drones with military explosive could
solar or super-conductor battery charge and recharge with fuel cells
to lie hidden below desert sands or in forest canopies waiting for
human soldiers to recognize with artificial intelligence and attack.
One wonders if being human in combat would become obsolete, or if
anyone would be safe any place from a swarm of flying anti-body
stealth mini-drones.
Civilian
control of military attack anti-bodies would be more ethically
challenging. Civilian political leaders and economic puppet masters
should not just kill soft targets in poor countries instead of
finding alternative and ecologically rational means of adjudicating
political disputes that stimulate armed conflict. The obligation is
upon the advantaged to find a way to bring equal protection of law to
even the poor that do not understand it nor have an advantage in the
economic and legal exploitation of the disadvantaged.
One
would think that production facilities for manufacture of fairly
low-tech military drones would be an advantage to nations such as
China that already have the largest human standing armies that may
become very vulnerable to cheaper-than-a-soldier anti-body war drones
in a plethora of forms. One hopes the Chinese become more Christian
and do not move toward the ethically dark side of the force.
One
might take small comfort with the knowledge that Muslim ideas about
the apocalypse and Armageddon-eschatological ideas are similar to a
Christian premillennial futurist’s paradigm for interpreting the
Revelation of St. John. There are other possible interpretations of
the general meaning of the Revelation of John such as a praetererist
covenant based paradigm wherein the beast was Nero in particular and
Rome in general. Some take that as a foundation for inaugurated
eschatology with a approach wherein Johns writing in a coded way to
the churches and Christians of his era being persecuted also has some
not yet realized futurist meaning too. Even so by the middle of the
2ns century, much less the 6th, most Christians had lost the original
historical context-meaning of the Revelation according to some
scholars, and of course Muhammad’s expropriation of the Revelation
was made with an entirely futurist and very likely erroneous
understanding of the meaning of the Revelation of John serving as a
creative basis of Muhammad’s personal eschatological vision. Maybe
the Muhammadans will eventual take a different view of the Revelation
of John and correct Muhammad’s eschatological errors though I think
it improbable. One can’t be sure that military drones demanding
allegiant kow-towing to a statue of a clone-being in a reconstructed
Temple at Jerusalem and a brand of Nero or 666 on everyone’s wrist
to swipe over a check out counter is inevitable, or Jihad upon Jews
at Jerusalem either for that matter.
There
seems to be a trend in recent decades toward military attack of soft,
defenseless targets directed by politico planners. Terrorism and war
as politics through other means finds fewer peer wars and more dump
death and havoc upon the less powerful even with apologetics from a
propaganda media branch explaining the defensive nature of the event.
Chippiness with designer drones may stimulate the appearance of
adaptive optics camouflaging anti-bodies flying to and fastening upon
tall office buildings or the soft underbelly of a ship waiting for an
optimal moment to emerge from dormancy and fulfill their destined
destruction. A profusion of very cheap flying anti-boy mines with
face recognition cameras and artificial intelligence could even bring
about personalized battle with anti-body flying mines searching for
particular personnel to erase from the list of biological viable
forms. Even the criteria for determining what a soft target is may
become inversed.
Yek
the potential good of anti-suffering attack drones to deliver plates
of food and other relief supplies to difficult to access targets of
mercy is self-evident. Burritos and tea delivered on site through a
storm of bullets with hot sauce could rescue those deemed soft
targets for others from the savage works of the wicked yearning to
deny the equal protection of law and procure consolidation of wealth
topped with concentration of wealth for-themselves. The usual strange
world may become stranger making it seem at times as if
extraterrestrial puppeteers were pulling the strings of pivotal
politicians and the butch broadcast media. Maybe they do now and
then; they seem to act some times as if the main purpose of life is
for humans to filter auto exhaust with lungs, destroy forests, kill
all wild life and melt away every glacier.
