QUESTION:
Technology is accelerating at a dizzying pace and soon there will be developments unlike anything we have ever seen. There is a technology being developed to surgically implant a computer chip in people which would enable us to learn and educate themselves through the information on the chip (for example, a person would be able to know all of Shas just with just one click). The chip can also learn about the reproductive process and it can transfer this information to robots (at this point, this particular capability is still at a primitive stage) and it can thereby make other robotic people using this information.
What should be our perspective towards this?

ANSWER:
Concerning the future, it says, “And the earth will be filled with knowledge of Hashem as water fills the sea…” This means that the spiritual illumination of the highest point, Keser, which is called the “crown of the King”, will be revealed, and this will cause advanced wisdom to spread all over the world. Not only will advanced wisdom spread to people, but it will also spread to animals, plants and inanimate objects.
This particular concept comes from a revelation of spiritual light that will be in the future, and it is already starting to materialize even now, in the era of the end of days. In the last few decades, computers were able to fasten the pace of all work by using information that was entered and stored in the computer. Nowadays, computer capabilities advanced to be able to have “computer intelligence”. At first, this intelligence becomes available to humans, and later it is able to spread even to animals (i.e. the rooster, which is given binah, understanding, to differentiate between night and day). And now this intelligence has spread to even the stillest forms of creation [i.e. the body].
This is really because the spiritual light of the future, which will cause advanced intelligence to spread throughout the world, has come down closer to our material world, and now it is reaching even the lowest level creations (inanimate objects). The greater the burst of intelligence from above, the further down it will reach, until it reaches even the lowest level creations: the stillest creations. Part of this unfolding process of advanced intelligence is the technology of this computer chip that is being developed for all kinds of many uses. When the spiritual light behind all of this advanced intelligence will radiate completely, the light of Mashiach will be revealed. It is already starting to shine partially, and it is gradually increasing.
