I just watched a story on the news that said in the near future, we humans will be nothing more than data. It has already begun and appears to be impossible to stop. What movie that hasn't come out yet will this be?

when you say news, what news do you mean? and even on a news show, some parts are information and other parts are opinion, sometimes based on facts and sometimes highly speculative. this sounds extremely unlikely. it sounds like fear-mongering ludditism.

It was a tech piece showing AT&T predicting 25 years ago what tech we'd be utilizing in the world today. They predict that AI will be a front runner in society and we humans will be seen as nothing more than data.

@IAJO163 it was done 25 years ago predicting today's tech? and how accurate were they? (and i still want to know whose piece it was, which is what i meant by asking about news; what was the source? this does not sound right at all.

@genessa I saw it on the CBS morning show past Saturday.

Is this evolition in process?
Did humans stop natural selection only to start digital selection?

This just came out [nationalgeographic.com] Our genetic make-up can now be downloaded and analyzed.

downloaded and analyzed as data, but not reproduced as people.

@genessa Yet.

@JackPedigo ever. not from that data. people are not made out of data. they can be studied that way. you cannot build flesh and blood that way.

@genessa Tell that to the geneticists.

@JackPedigo they already know.
