But today we have much more that mere paper. We have the Internet which has virtually infinite storage and instant communication worldwide. We have computers that let us offload our thinking and can think for us in ways that our brains could never process. This new paradigm is causing humanity to evolve exponentially and experience hyper-evolution.

All these new forms of evolution create a new evolutionary class paradigm called engineered evolution; the ability to use our knowledge to design the next generation. The next generation will have far greater abilities to engineer an even more advanced generation, and so on.

The important point here is that we need to look beyond the scope of traditional evolution we aren't blinded to the effect of new forms of evolution. It isn't accurate to say that humans aren't evolving - or evolving backward - based on our DNA alone. In fact the new evolutionary paradigms are making traditional evolution obsolete. We are quickly developing the ability to determine what we will evolve into. Because of that we not have to face the question, what should we evolve into?
