It is often assumed that man’s (humanity) biggest shortfall
is the failure to create life using science.
However this is a far-short, it will be achieved someday in the future
when requisite technology is available. In my opinion the possibility of our brain
performing multiple tasks at the same time, i mean multitasking in the sense of
time.
An average human being wishes to perform at least five or so
tasks and complete them ALL at once at a given time. For instance I would want
to be studying for a degree, master or PhD program and working too. That is
instead of breaking for studies or doing part-time studies; you are
simultaneously studying and working full time.
Also imagine a situation where one could be able to say:
-Go out with
friends
- Be at home alone, with a loved one
- At a date
- Do some reading
- Watch a
favourite program or movie
- Striking a
business deal
Or attending a weekly job’s meeting on a Monday morning
while taking your kids to school.
ALL at the same time. Simultaneously.
I am talking about activities that demand our mental
presence and NOT physical presence. As such this function will involving
‘sending’ one’s brain or part of it to PERFORM
a number of Tasks at DIFFERENT locations simultaneously. The brain will thereof recollect as
one. Meaning the brain functions as the central command and database of data acquired
from different locations and tasks.
But then, if we were to acquire such ability would we still
maintain our unique identity as an individual as we are now? Or would our
brains’ acquisition of different data/information simultaneously transform us
into different individuals?
