i read this wacky book that proclaimed humans would one day make the leap where they wouldn't need computers anymore. we would figure out that we were physiologically computers already.

[quiet]

yes, that's basically what i meant. not the best article on the subject, but that's the general idea.

books like Out Of Control (somewhat dated), and (especially) The Long Now discuss the topic in more detail.

The mind is a powerfull thing, they say if we could use 100% of our mind we could move mountains just by thinking it.
I think we only use like 13% or so per average human being.
I could be wrong, someone please correct me if I am wrong

If there are entire books written for that word, no wonder why I didn't understand it
More power to those who do know, knowledge is power

I always knew what "converge" meant, but the word convergence just looked foreign.

My mind is starting to sizzle, this thread is going to have a major psycological impact on me for the next 8-12 hours,
