From 'Do Not' to 'Not Do' -Future of the Language

I don't have a book. Simply goes to 'I not have a book.' Don't I have a book? instead, Not do I have a book? I can't dance at all. Simply 'I not can dance at all. Can't I dance at all? instead Not can I dance at all?
'I've never been to Alaska' is replaced like 'I never have been to Alaska'. I think this word order makes English more closer to logical language.
Why in the language, 'not' is placed after the verb? When subject of the verb was so important, 'do' or 'do not' depended on the individual's decision where the subject of the verb can 'choose'. So the word of action ought to be located prior to whether actually it ought to do or not, so in the expression 'I have a book' is a contraction form of 'I do do have a book' and 'I don't have a book' is of course a contraction form of 'I do not have a book' . Then nobody particulary says 'I do do have a book' though sometimes we say in a expression ' I do have a book'. I mean we don't have to use 'do' in either expressions. Since we now live in the age of computer, whether we 'do' or 'do not' is not dependent on individual's decision. Compurters decide 'do' or 'not do'
The age of ambiguity based on ambiguous human decision is over. We don't have to choose 'do' or ' do not' but automatically be chosen whether it's 'do' or 'not do'.
