The unfathomable capabilities of the incredible wondrous automatons of the 21st century, Computers, is fascinating.
We are all now living in the age of information. This age can be boldly categorized as the most advanced age in the history of mankind and of the Earth itself. Communication has advanced to the extent where one can instantaneously initiate a video conversation with another halfway or even to the most extreme locations in the World using just a small device called the smartphone.
This advent of the information age is a boon for humanity. For a nominal price one can acquire a smartphone - a device which is a supercomputer when compared to the first satellite in space - Sputnik.
We are now in the age of robot assisted surgeries, bionic implants such as circuits embedded inside the human body which augment the senses, artificial computerized retinal implants which allow the blind to see, bionic legs which allow for paraplegics and quadriplegics to walk, robotic machines which assist soldiers in war, electronic cars which are touted to save the world from pollution, space exploration and colonization proposals which are going to open humanity's foray into space colonization and even nano robots which will perform targeted nano surgeries to alleviate ailments. The applications of technological advancements are poised to propel humanity into an age of singularity - the union between man and machine.
Futurists are claiming the advancements of scientific research will even enable humans to upload their consciousness into devices which will permit the attainment of immortality.
Such enormous transformation facilitated by the development of the wondrous automatons called computers! This is indeed magic. In the words of famous author Arthur C. Clarke - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
