Productivity Future Vision (2011)
I'm going to give it 30 years min.
Think about it.
Yes, Technology. But what about Politics? Society? Economy? Even Religion (and the crazy cults within)? I doubt 72% of the human population is above surfing youtube and Twitter and Facebook et al on a shiny new rectangle. I doubt almost anyone will be smart enough to utilize all those functions without being born into it, like most of us were born into the information age, thus,
We're not afraid of the Computer.
What about war? People said the future would be
greener.We bombed ourselves with the power of the sun, killed large masses of our own, and still can't solve a simple energy crisis in the making. And fuck me, it's 2011 now, not 1998.
Still don't have my magical flying car. Doubt we can craft all that fancy shit in 3 - 4 years.
If we do, war is abolished, Everyone's Holding Hands, Everyone's a harmless Friendly Meekling, 3/4ths of Diseases are gone, and every 2 year old knows how to work Simple Algebra. It'll be a fucking dandly little fucking place with rainbows and puppies and tiny, non-harmless lasers.
Maybe I'm just in a piss mood today.
