INformation

My creative writing professor told us almost forty years ago that there were one million writers in america wanting to be published, and that forty thousand new books every year were being published. That was in the mid nineteen seventies. Heaven only knows what the numbers are now. Now, of course, everybody who wants to be be published, IS published!  All Hail to the Internet!

It may be that every human art form shall experience a glorious renaissance onna counta technology. We could fill the entire universe with human babies, just doing what we do best, combined with the mathematical law of exponential compounding. Could we do the same with books on micro chips? Let's try! Start writing your books, everyone.

Maybe a billion books on micro chip could be stored in a space the size of a paperback, but even so, we'll run out of room for books on this planet, which is one reason why the human species should expand its domain to other planets. The moon, as an orbiting library.

WE should perhaps bear in mind the possibility that the human species , in order to survive long term, must either expand, or stabilize, which can easily lead to stagnation.

Our organic bodies will be replaced by pure energy, eventually, after passing through the machine phase, so living space will not be a problem for us, but it will be a problem for our information. Perhaps "this" universe is nothing other than a huge amount of stored information.

The computers will enter our bodies at our invitation, then become our bodies. Oops, I just dropped the library of congress on the floor, somewhere...
