The future of Digitization

Whether we like it or not, the digitization of our planet will continue. In the old days, we called it automation and robotics. It then developed into computers, personal organisers, smart phones.

Why should "digitization" continue when we can just choose to go back to the old days of pen and paper?.  Those who have that view, have completely missed out on the script of life. The key point is the evolution of humanity has been based upon increased order from the chaos that mankind evolved from. The planet started out as a large rock mass with holes and crevices within which water flowed (distinguishing solids from liquids was a matter of "temperate" balance). It eventually settled into a mass of those rocks and softer land tissue combining to form land, much of it soft tissue that enabled the growth of plants, through it's favourable chemical makeup to the harder more solid rocky surfaces that mainly peaked into the air and dominated the higher grounds.

Following this (vastly over-?)simplified version of the earths evolution, and without further digression, it is clear that the evolving animal of mankind wanted a more ordered environment in which they could function at a much more comfortable level, and create the ideal natural levels of order from which they could excel in further advancing this cause. Many technological developments could then be attributed to this state, and these developments give us the impetus to further investigate the reason for our existence, or to further evolve and see where it takes us?

The key basis of our development is to establish the "reason" for our existence, and this should be easy to establish from a simple rational model of comparing ourselves to the other animals that we share our planet with. Given that we see ourselves as "higher, and more evolved" beings, than the rest of animal life, we therefore assume that we set the agenda on how our planet continues to evolve.

This is where our supremacy as an animal race ends, as it's based on many highly misguided assumptions and premises that may not hold true. For example, it appears that we are the only mammals that have evolved into developing systems of automation, machines etc., and achieved levels of communications that have moved us way beyond other animal life in terms of our evolution. Yet we also possess the greatest threat to the security and stability of mammals sharing the earth with their fellow creatures, as well as all others equally deserving of a continued existence on this planet as a result of their endeavours to survive. The reasons for all of this is really quite simple when properly evaluated, and that is because we've effectively taken control of the destiny of a lot of what goes on on our planet as a species, yet we lack the fundamental abilities to share our planet in terms of habitat management. i.e. Developing a system of habitat sharing our planet with all other homo-sapiens that can allow us the space to further develop as a unitary species.
