Dude_Doc Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 But in catastrophies, people do the best they can. They don't wait for a leader to be elected democratically while other people are dying in ruins and floods. For examle, when there is a fire in a house, people who know they can save other people will do it, without waiting for the fire department to give them clearance or something like that. Just like 9/11 - people helped to search for survivors in the ruins without anyone giving them orders or anyone giving them money to do so. So, basically, after saving themselves, they try to save other people, or save other people at the same time. Though, I like the Deus Ex: Inisible War idea of equal society. All people are integrated with an all powerful artificial intelligence. People don't have to vote. Their will (what they are thinking about society) are read by this AI, which makes the wishes come true. So yes, I think that in such society (an equal one), every person can get an implant and vote wherever he or she is, without any trouble (the mobile-phone idea isn't bad either, a choice for the non-implanting people :) ). Also, going a little bit into the future, imagine if a building was built with nanotech. The building could repair itself, reconstruct "old parts" and all, you wouldn't even have to build it, only press a button (or, buttons) and the house will be built by itself. Also, by making some research, the nano-molecules could be programmed to tolerate fire, or even exhaust it, in an emergency. Earthquakes wouldn't be a problem either, because the base of the building would adapt to it's environment. Just a funny thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
