Singularity may arrive sooner than we imagine | Texarkana Breaking News
Reality, as we perceive it, is based on the inputs from our five senses. With advances in technology, the senses are not confined to the human body anymore. Technology is getting closer to “sensing” the world as humans sense, only more efficiently, and it is happening so quickly to the point we don’t even take much notice. For instance, your iPhone can “sense” your face; a Tesla vehicle can “sense” the traffic conditions and make decisions in real time. Computer-generated algorithms turn the complexities of sensing into bits and bytes at an amazingly fast speed. Digital sensors generate a bulk of data in mere seconds, and the data could be in any form—text files, sound bits, images, videos, GPS coordinates, thermal images. These sensors enable the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, further fueling data generation through digital sensing.
