While reading the prologue I was reminded of the movie Her.
Her is a movie about a man named Theodore and his relationship with a super intelligent
computer with female characteristics. Both go through emotional and physical
changes that eventually leads to the relationship ending. What intrigued me the
most was the intelligent computer and how it relates to the prologue. As the
computer begins to retain more knowledge and starts to interact with many
individuals she develops a deeper understanding and greater confusion of life.
As she continues to retain more knowledge and deeper bonds she starts become
more intertwine with the Universe until she becomes part of the universe. To
me, this is best explained by the statement the smartest person in the room
becomes the room itself thanks to networked computers. Individuals are
retaining more knowledge and greater deeper and more complex relationships with
a variety of individuals. This continues to happen until all within a space
become one, as the statement explains.
Honestly, I believe the statement is valid in what the world
is becoming. By sharing ideas creates deeper and more complex bonds. This intertwines
us as a people in order to become something bigger. I am not sure what that something
bigger is simply because it is past my level of understanding and the idea
freaks me out a little.
