Humans have become GOD

As society progresses and becomes extensively complex and multifaceted, the same must be true for problems and solutions existing within its sphere of influence. People however cannot evolve or progress as swiftly as society, leaving a fundamental gap between what people can deal with and extensiveness of the problems confronting them. These assumptions are with the understanding that these are not the front running people progressing society, but the ones that exist in what they have scrupulously or haphazardly created (usually the latter). I believe a haphazard creation of the previous generations was the Internet. I liken its creation to the stories told in the Bible and other religious texts of creation of this world from a blank space. Correct me if I am wrong but did humanity not just create a NEW world from empty space between your computers?  I understand the argument that man was playing god in the seventies concerning science and cloning, but I believe it has evolved into full on emulation today. Continuing the progression we have subsequently, in this blank space, created (although its actually copying) our own social mechanisms (although more efficient, they posses less substance).  The next logical step would be to create a being existent only in this realm.  Enter what all-social sites are calling your “avatar” or something you put your consciousness into and control.  So now we have a new space, a social mechanism within it, and a vehicle to work these social mechanisms. Sounds like a new world to me.  Compound that information with the concept of “personalization” and we can subsequently create around us a world relevant only to our person and no one else (unless they share values, interests, etc).   It follows that if we personalize the information surrounding us we would rarely be challenged with information that threatens our viewpoints or forces us to think critically. The loss of critical thought produces mediocrity no matter what else happens. So I beseech thee to never lose your critical thinking skills for you will fall behind in the progression and exist in mediocrity. Definition: Mediocrity-ordinariness as a consequence of being average and not outstanding. In the end though what you want is up to you!
