  Hi Roland,

I agree with you that there is intelligence in the network, especially with the developments of Artificial Intelligence.

In addition to augmented reality, artificial intelligence, among other things, deals with:
  • Create artifacts that behave wisely, both individually and in groups, some of which may be useful, especially in 3D environments like Second Life, to help the user or student to resolve some basic questions.
  • Create specific programs that help companies and institutions to making decisions through data mining - handling large volumes of data.
However, do not share his idea of hybridity. I think the tools are certainly more powerful but they are only tools and tomorrow this will be considered obsoletes because are created others new, but humans remain.

Therefore, the singularity is in us, not on the network or the tools.
