Man-Computer Symbosis

As I found myself knodding off to the beginning of this article, I found that as I began to read it actually got really interesting. Especially many of the points that Licklider brought up, but in particular when he talks about the man and technology relationship. To the knowledge of my own you would think that a actual mind and a kind of technology would be far apart, but Licklider made it really possible for me to see that in all actuality they arent to far apart at all. Because the brain is constantly updating itself with new knowledge and although there are many gatekeepers that control the knowledge the technology receives, it still finds a way of working out on its own, not to say that its more powerful than the brain, but it is steadily coming along. Because these computers now are NOT "single minded", because they now are very good at multi-tasking. Take for instance they way your able to use a computer to open new windows very fast, and from one window pop up another window to bring up that new information, and so on. All in all technology keeps going further and further on the smart scale, and one day they may just take over the world! DUN DUN DUN (movie sound).
