The Last Question by Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov's last question in life. Over the years, the world in which we live has undergone several transformations. The story of "the last question" is about the future of civilization. It explores technical advances that may occur after years. However, in addition to AC (automatic computer), even if people develop methods to "make things happen" in addition to the disappearance of people and all other forms, the problem has not been solved.

In my last favorite novel novel, Isaac Asimov's last question, a powerful supercomputer evolved from tools to complex calculations, to a knowledge base that provides potential answers to deep and deep scientific questions It is. There is not such a machine yet, but the leading candidate is Wolfram Alpha. The basic idea behind it can be summarized as you can see in Wikipedia and adds complexity and accuracy to provide detailed answers to various questions. However, its sales are far beyond this. Indeed, Stephen Wolfram wishes that it will be a tool for serious scientific research on the mystery of physics. This is a performance at his TED.

We started as Isaac Asimov's 1956 short story as a "last question". If you are unfamiliar, Asimov is a biochemistry professor, a mathematician, and a theologian, and the most famous are science fiction writers and prolific writers. You can tell his work through the movie, the robot is forever young virus mistake based on Asimov's novel. The main character of this story is not a human being but a human being. The generation must deal with the dying sun first, and the energy from the universe is exhausted, and finally the universe expands to the proportion of stars that can not even survive. In all dilemmas, people at their own time ask the sensory machines (reading Siri) installed in their homes to solve their problems. The machine always answers the questions in a way that is not sufficient data. Until one day it really has the answer

Some people talk about transferring our consciousness to machines, but "Black Mirror" is never the first novel suggesting that. Isaac Asimov proposed his essay to a computer with a universal connection of thousands of years in the future with his short story "The Last Question" in the future. But in that story, for a while, they (the transferred creatures) lost the desire to exist and freed themselves. Death may be a pathological problem, but that should be done. Death is another technical problem to be solved, as Yuval Noah Harari suggests in his book "Human Deus". Soon we will question the moral and legal rights of consciousness uploaded to the cloud. Problems such as euthanasia are being debated all over the world. Regarding our digital self, how does this discussion take? Do we care about 'file' as much as we care about life?
