Technology is always evolving, who knows what's to come next? I sat and thought about this hard, and I really have no clue what the digital world will be like in the future. I mean it's.....UNPREDICTABLE. -.- However, I am very sure that speed and convenience are going to dominate the world even more then.
I have always imagined and fantasized about how technology can just take over the world. Crazy examples like you don't have to take a bus or even drive to school because you can "fly" or "teleport" some way or another. Or, you don't have to worry about forgetting to bring your things out because you can get it "sent" to you in a minute. Or like, you can see what's going on in your house when you're out and if you forgot to switch off a particular machine or gadget, all you have to do is to press a button on your smartphone and that's it, done. Hassle-free.
Yes, that's the keyword: Hassle-freeeeee. That is why things are made fast and convenient for us at a pretty good efficiency rate with internet. And I feel that this will turn us all intro useless monsters. No one knows how to do anything anymore because it's all computed for us. The worst thing that can happen is when technology decides to shut down on us. Who is going to save us?? The IT technicians? Or maybe we could save ourselves by becoming "tech-gods". For all we know, we might be. You see, people evolve and adapt along with their environments. Hence, in this growing digital age, I am sure the future generations are going to be highly in-sync with the advancements of technology.
Whatever it is, I don't want to be talking to computers for the rest of my life. When I order my McBurgers, I want to order it from a real human. When I go shopping, I want to be served and I want to buy my stuffs from a real person, and when I take on learning courses like cooking or dancing, there is NO WAY i'm learning it from a robot or whatever machine, no way. Human contact is essential for living, Like I always mention in my posts, let internet stay as an enhancement in our lives, helping us with necessary activities such as gathering of information and entertainment. Nothing more.
