No, you are not dreaming.

Computers have taken over Earth! Humans are under the rule of Computers

I know you are as shocked as me but we all need to be calm and look at what to do next

Why did the computers do this?

  • We used them without any control, for all of our activities, and without thinking of the consequences.
  • Now they are doing the same thing to us because they understand us completely, including all our weaknesses

What do we do now?

Yes, this is the biggest challenge to the human race. But how can we overcome this situation?

This is the time to think and find solutions.

First we humans have to accept the current dangerous situation, only then can we find the way out.

What to expect?

  • A huge group of machines is controlling us, so they will be very efficient in their work
  • There will be no freedom for us, humans, to do anything we want
  • We will be used as slaves by the computers to do their jobs
  • There will no emotions like kindness, empathy, etc. because the computers will behave as per their programming
  • They can repair themselves and new computers will be manufactured very easily and in big numbers
  • With Deep Learning, Computers can even become capable of Human Elimination!

What changed?

  • Humans are not the most superior force on Earth now
  • All processes will happen in a fixed and controlled manner
  • Humans use computers all the time, even while sleeping. We are addicted to them now that we no longer remember our own phone numbers.
  • We cannot think independently. We have no self-control.
  • Now our family, friend, and enemy is a computer!

How to overcome this threat?

Computers came into our lives only around 500 years back but we have been around for thousands of years. So, we have the experience to survive on this planet. We literally have to go back to the drawing board.

We have to use these survival strategies :

  • Be united under one goal
  • Don’t use computers for our everyday lives
  • Think more about solving problems using your brain. Go outdoors and learn from nature
  • Build mechanical systems by hand
  • Store information in books, files and read those books for knowledge
  • Talk and listen to one another much more
  • Study the science behind computers deeply so that we will know how to defeat them

It is extremely difficult to do all this but it is the only way, otherwise, there will be no human race.

Didn’t we find it almost impossible to change when computers came into our lives and then we slowly accepted the very same? Even the elderly are now using computers.

But can we live like this? This will mean that humans will ultimately be wiped out from Earth unless we stop relying on only computers. I am sure we can do this. It is all about leading a simple life, without computers.

But before all this, please remember that you are reading this on a computer!
