BIMBO CABIDOG
Until
the late 70s, technology as it is today defied common imagination. It wasn’t even
sci-fi stuff. The latest futuristic movies then did not show the kind of supermachine
artificial intelligence has become connecting billions of electronic terminals
throughout the globe, a universe of its own.
Decades
later, the technology would already create a new world reality across national boundaries.
It has evolved, and keeps on evolving, the gnome of nearly everything in human affairs:
arts, scientific research, government, business, industry, finance and markets.
If
the power and mind-boggling magnitude of web-based data systems could not be
imagined early in the fourth quarter of the last century, at present, the world
is hard to imagine without them.
In
the crossover to the new millennium, programs on the worldwide web already determine
almost everything that people do. Societies would so depend on them that there
was an instance when a foreseen digital glitz owing to the numerals 1900 and 2000
triggered fears about the end of days.
Contemporary
mankind may no longer be able to live without computers. Human existence has
become interminably tied to them that every mark of it on the planet bears their
trace.
Aiding
the AI revolution was the leap in communications capacity that transmits huge
amounts of data over immense distances around the world. The development would
be made possible by fiber optics and the broad band. It paved the way for the
internet.
Through
an age, the cablegram was the mode of getting messages to far-flung regions faster
than the mail service. Then the telephone, later followed by the radio transceiver
that hinged on aerials brought the world closer. Still, the wireless wonders were
limited in volume and speed of transmission.
Then
aeronautics reached beyond the stratosphere. It made possible the installation
of orbiting space satellites that beam to the four corners of Earth. This really
surpassed previous limits.
The
technological breakthrough ushered societies into the information age. The novel
bridges in space drew powerful wave lengths that enveloped the globe in an
electromagnetic weave connecting humans through the keypad thousands of miles
apart capable of sending voluminous data in record time.
Connectivity
in turn ushered megatrends and social being shaped by knowledge-based economies.
The global north and south that formerly seemed worlds apart saw eye to eye
through the monitor’s screen. It seemed incredible, but was palpable.
The
newfound power appeared at the outset metaphysical and esoteric. But man has
deciphered the mystery lodged in as material in essence as the microchip with
semiconducting properties. In perfectly explainable terms, the invention fused matter
and thought.
Information
is non-matter. It does not occupy physical space. Neither has it weight nor
mass. It is not pulled by gravity. But it is nonetheless bound with man’s
material being. It is a most influential presence in his historical social
development.
Such
is because information governs decision and thereby shapes outcomes. Though it
is a metaphysical configuration, it transforms into a material force with
physical impact and effects.
At
the turn of the century, technology carved cyberspace which hosted the
worldwide web. The event concretized a global brain by which transcontinental information,
knowledge, philosophy and reality from the perspective of every culture crystalize
in seconds.
The
development put in the midst of humanity a superbeing of almost infinite intelligence
geared at running every aspect of existence. The prodigious technological
capacity communicated in binary digits, byte by byte making change in real
time.
The
digital codes translating thought through an infinite range of the number 01
stretched out the arch of the mind into a universe of information at man’s
fingertips. They brought into concrete reality an intangible essence, the being
of spirit that the human brain has pondered for ages.
Towards
the first decade of the new millennium, the Internet was whipping up a revolution
in all aspects of society. A web of dots connected life in every part of the world.
They represented computer memory that programmed human activities through
terminals linked by satellite communication.
Messages
carried by signals reached distances at the speed of sound. In the terminals, processors
translated the bytes back to facts, graphics and meanings. It was in this global
system that mankind would be most keenly aware of the overarching intellect.
The
worldwide computer connectivity poised to bring man face to face with his spiritual
nature. Further steps ahead, he already stands at the threshold of a realm that
brook no more limit in the knowing of truth, a fount of self-awareness beyond material
realities and paradigms.
Here
is the ultimate connectivity liberated from the bounds of space and time. It is
a connectivity that finally closes the gap between man and God that has
separated him from Him since the dawn of time. In it the binary codes fade and
give way to truths churned out by powerful spiritual processors.
The
link turns into an implosion of consciousness as God’s omnipotent website is
successfully accessed. The site has the domain name of iam.iam.
It is a realm in every human being infinitely larger than the known material
universe that contains the way, the truth and the life.
To
get to iam.iam, no internet server, binary processor,
terminal monitor and keypad is needed. The portal of the self is enough, a dot
that grows larger and larger up to infinity once clicked and entered.
Communication
is not by means of electromagnetic impulses riding on far-reaching cosmic waves.
It is by simply saying the word not in the language of the tongue, but in the
language of thought.
