The Melding

John Prophet

Watch the people.
They are changing
right in front
of our eyes.
Slowly,
incrementally,
they're evolving,
becoming something
else, something more,
something different.
A new paradigm is
emerging.
Not very many years ago
people walked
down the street
looking straight ahead.
Today,
they bow at the neck
to the new god
they made,
worship,
and are connected with.
Technology,
information
is now what they
focus
on and desire.
Soon,
it will be connected
to them,
embedded
into their heads.
Soon,
they will access
the sum of all
human knowledge
with just a thought.
Soon,
they will communicate
without speaking.
The global
human neural net
is evolving.
Soon, thereafter,
it will merge
with artifice intelligence.
Techno Sapiens
will then emerge.
Where it goes from there,
is anybody's guess!
