Tomorrow's People, Dr. Susan Greenfield, Oxford University
The science and technology that is already becoming central to our lives, will soon come to transform not just the way we spend each day, but the way we think and feel.
Gradually we are learning more about the dynamism and sensitivity of the circuits in our brain, and how they reflect our moment-to-moment existence and experience: it is in the configuration of these brain cell connections, that the essence of our individuality actually lies. The prospect of directly tampering with this basis of our uniqueness becomes increasingly likely.
Our changing lifestyle may mean that our grandchildren will have a different view of ‘reality’ than to us. Imagine living in an interactive and highly personalized environment, from physical interiors to furniture, to food. Invisible and ubiquitous computers embedded in clothing, virtual reality and augmented reality, may erode our sense of a solid and consistent outside world. Clearly there will be implications for the family unit. Home will now be seen as an extension of the individual’s own mind and body, with constant access to a collective network of data on the minutiae of everyone else’s daily life. We shall see a swing therefore to a reactive rather than a proactive lifestyle, a blurring of the cyber- and atomic-worlds and, indeed, a blurring of the distinction between carbon- and silicon-based systems....
