I don't have any prejudice toward applied sciences and I.T. industry, and I don't deny the significance of technological progress and scientific discoveries that have made our daily life far more effective and comfortable than that of centuries ago.
But I don't share that enthusiastic belief in the technological progress which some people showed to the public after the beginning of global economic crisis. In my opinion, no technological progress can resolve the increasing unemployment rate in USA and EU, of disappearance of middle class consumers, of ecologic crisis caused by global factory farming and GMO etc.
I am often surprised to see some scientists, economists and entrepreneurs talking about coming technological breakthrough as a promise of human's prosperity. For example, such conversation as in the following session.
How can people believe in their words knowing recent examples of social injustice by inhabitants of Wall Street, White House, or of the greediness of such global companies as Monsant...
What Mr. Kaku is talking here seems to me some kind of fairy tale or Sci-Fi story (in other video interview, he described some future technology really reminded me of "Genocide Organ" by Project Ito ) I like some kind of Sci-Fi novels and films, if they don't ignore the weakness of human being, especially, the vices depicted in classic literature and drama. Technology can't correct them. Only socially awaken people can, by supporting and contacting each other. And the social awareness, common sense is formed not by technology, but by decent education and decent teachers whose living condition must not be on the edge of poverty level. And college or university students must not pay loans for their learning for more than a decade. The internet can't replace real schools, if they still have to exist.
US government and medias often accuse "Islamic fundamentalism". But they often forget their own "fundamentalism" attitude towards other nations. Namely, it's Free Market fundamentalism, which is often called "Globalization". And science and technology fundamentalism. Instead of God they seem to believe in "Capitalism", "Globalization"and "Technology"
No one knows for sure whether super-computer can really simulate the work of human brain using MRI image. Such an article was published in English a few years ago. But I wrote exactly such an story in the form of Sci Fi novel 9 yeas ago, that is "Re-Minder". It's only one example of how some US people love seemingly fantastic science and technology. One question occurs.
For what purpose do they simulate human brain using IBM super computer? Maybe hoping for the invention of virtual reality online game (as in my novel)?
