The gift of artificial intelligence--immortality

 Dating back to the ancient time of China, most of the emperors seek to be immortal by all means but all failed. However, immortality will come true soon thanks to the development of artificial intelligence. On March 21st，2016, Terasem Movement, an organization which aims to promote the development of  digital duplication technology, claimed that robots will be able to carry the thoughts of one who has died and  people will become immortal in this form in 35 years. Besides, an entrepreneur, Martine Rothblatt, has built up a data base including the memory before death, belief as well as thoughts of his wife and put this data base into a robot"Bina48". The result of the test showed that the robot “Bina48”  was able to present the characteristics and thoughts of his wife. With the development of  artificial intelligence, it is not only become a milestone of technology, but solve cases and preserve the valuable thoughts of the great men.

     It is no doubt that immortality coming true will be the milestone of technology. As we all known, cloning technology has been developed from 1963. Up until now, we have been capable to clone anything we want. But now, we will be able to clone not just a "thing" but spirit, which can be considered as the breakthrough of cloning technology. Besides, artificial intelligence has always been regarded as the greatest innovation in human history. Before this new development, artificial intelligence was controlled by human with executing commands. If the data base of human is put into the artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence will form its own consciousness and know how to "think". Similar with a person, the artificial intelligence has the abilities of communicating, working and complicated thinking. This is expected to the most important step in the history of artificial intelligence technology. Therefore, being immortal is a leap in the progress of cloning technology as well as the artificial intelligence technology.

     When it comes to its application, being immortal also can help police to solve the murder cases. When police inspect a murder case, finding more clues means more possibilities to arrest the murderer. Sometimes, the clues are so little that they are not enough to provide useful information for police to find out the killers. However, this situation will be changed if people can be immortal in the form of artificial intelligence. Since the thoughts and memory will be preserved into the artificial intelligence, the victim can be "reborn". That means the data base can tell all the details of the process of being murdered. Even after 100 years, these memories will not be destroyed. Thanks to these direct evidences provided by the victims, the possibility of arresting the murderers will absolutely increase. Therefore, with the development of artificial intelligence, police will improve their efficiency of  solving crimes.

      Additionally, being immortal can preserve the valuable thoughts of great men. Great men devote all their life to seek the truth but life is always so short that they cannot complete their dreams and die with regret. Undoubtedly, the death of these great men is a grand loss of human treasures. If their thoughts can be immortal, the later generation can follow their thoughts to finish missions, which contributes to the development of society. For instance, in 1955, the death of Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in  the 20th century, stirred up scientific community. At that time, the occasion was so uncontrolled that it seemed like the death date of a seer. If the views of Einstein can be immortal, more and more innovations will be created and he can provide more useful knowledge and information for the later generation. Thanks to this technology, great thoughts of the great men can be preserved and learned by the descendants.

    As a milestone of future technology, being immortal will make a contribution to the whole society since it can help the police to solve cases and preserve the thoughts of the great men. If this technology can really be practiced grandly after 35 years, it is believed that human will step into a new world without death and the development of the artificial intelligence will reach an entirely new level. 

The most important step for sustainable future

  So far, there have been thousands of articles which aim to appeal people to protect environment with a sustainable way. Furthermore, to deal with environmental issues, socialists and scientists have put forward enforceable solutions from various aspects.Sadly, although people know how severe the issues are and how to deal with them, few people put them into practice. From my perspectives, what the most important things for sustainable future is not dozens of articles or public service advertising or verbal warning but to arouse people's consciousness radically. To achieve this, governments should carry out more tough punishments on environmental misconduct and authors should create works which are closer to our real life.

    In order to be sustainable, governments are supposed to conduct more compulsory punishments on the acts of destructing ecosystem. Since selfishness and laziness are instincts of humanity, people are used to eluding the duties  and paying more attention to things that are related to personal interests. When people are forced to pay great money for their misconduct, they will instinctively try their best to follow the rules. For instance, Huaxi Town in China is known not only for the wealthy of its residents but also for the sustainable development of ecological environment. One of the reasons for the success of environmental sustainability is the severe punishment system. According to Wu Renbao, the chief official of Huaxi Town, he mentioned that people do not care about the slight punishment if residents just need to pay 2 dollars for their acts of destroying  environment. Instead of verbal warning and lightly punishing, he formulated the new rules to restricting the misconducts of people.  Since people have to pay 4000 dollars if they drop litter carelessly, no one dare to litter in the streets. Likewise, to avoid tough punishment, people will obey the rules. Once these behaviors being people's habits or subconsciousness,  the future of sustainability is positive.

   Another way to arouse people's consciousness is to produce articles about harmful consequences closer to our normal life.  We have well known that ice-melting would cause the increase of sea level and climate change. However, we do not really care about these issues. If the climate change gives rise to the continuous high temperatures, we will feel hotter but what we want to respond this problem is just to open the air-conditioner. Similarly, we do not care the increase of sea level since we are not living in an island and we are still safe. As what has mentioned above, people are selfish. I believe that if they know their acts will give rise to the pollution of their local water and everyone in town will be inevitable to drink it, they will not pour the dirty water into their rivers.  Therefore, the sense of danger will encourage people to preserve their environment. Through articles, arousing people's awareness by producing the sense of danger is the most important way to make a sustainable future.
 By the tough punishments and the sense of danger, arousing people's awareness is the most radical method for sustainable future. The first step to remind people of changing their acts is to change their thoughts. While the tough punishment alters the consciousness in a compulsory means, the sense of danger contributes people to convert acts voluntarily. Although different types of solutions have been available, people prefer to ignore their duties to preserve our environment. It is no doubt that most of people, to some extent, are aware of these severe issues and they are told to act in sustainable ways. Unfortunately, it is obviously not enough because people do not really realize what they need to do urgently. Therefore, I insist that the consciousness of people will enhance if the tough punishments are carried out sternly and the sense of fear is presented. Only the consciousness is enough, can the sustainable future become successful.  
  In a conclusion, the most important step is arouse people's consciousness. To achieve that, governments should carry out more tough punishments on environmental misconduct and authors should create works closer to our real life to produce the sense of danger. As what has mentioned above, human are selfish and we never regard environment as our property. Environment has always been considered as a public goods but actually it is the most basic treasure  of human and it belongs to everyone. Therefore, every people ought to be responsible to it. Only this thoughts are rooted in the mind of people, can we see the hope of the sustainable future.
