Every day
that I awake and get my news from every periodical, newspaper, T.V., websites,
Facebook, Twitter, internet etc. it seems the world is headed in such a
negative direction.
What
happened to us? Where did we make this crucial painful turn that led us to this
horrific arena?
Look around
you, it seems everyone now seems to be walking or eating or travelling with
their cell phones seizing their entire attention.
People used
to greet one another and wave and say ‘hello.’ That is finally disappearing, as
the older generation still endure in that arena as they haven’t quite mastered
the new technical modernizations.
‘Hello’ is
slowly disappearing into ‘excuse me’ as we smash accidentally against one
another while maneuvering through our cell phone pages.
As Apple and
Samsung get technically more advanced, we may need to start wearing helmets and
body vests as the bumping against one another takes heavier tolls.
In a few
years as the man-less autos come to the scene, we can visualize a passenger
sitting comfortably in his or her new invention hurriedly going through his or
her messages on his or her cell phone while having no concept of what goes on
around.
As he or she
gets to his or her office building he or she will naturally sit on the next car
like wagon that will automatically take him or her into the building elevator
which will automatically take him or her to their respective floors, and the
cart will automatically be programmed to take him or her to his or her office
where he or she will vacate the wagon which will roll back to a waiting spot
for the later requirement while he or she exchanges it for his or her office
chair.
His or her
office will have all the necessary gadgets which will make him or her extremely
productive and at the same time head him or her towards this robotic lifestyle.
Even now
people text one another while sitting in adjoining offices. No movement or interaction
needed.
Eventually
our speaking abilities will diminish to the point of the early man’s dialogue
abilities.
New words
will be added to our dictionaries. Words like ‘gaa’ or ‘gronk’ or ‘haga’ or ‘junga’
but we’ll definitely be more productive. Our interaction will slowly disappear
to the point of office meetings will be conducted through gadgets like Skype
and other such inventions.
Are we
becoming a better race?
Technically ‘yes,’
but humanely a definite ‘no.’
So what will
companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google be doing for humanity in the future
after they’ve surrounded themselves with trillions of dollars in their coffers as
they doll out more gadgets for us to use, contraptions that create
hyperactivity to the point of people lining up days before a new gadget comes
into the marketplace?
Nothing!
They won’t have to! Just like sheep we’ll go where they point for us to go.
Stay where they want us to stay, eat what they want us to eat and state words
that they want us to use like ‘browsing,’ ‘tweeting,’ ‘icloud,’ ‘hard-drive,’ ‘software,’
cpu,’ ‘apple-pay,’ ‘download,’ ‘texting.’
As for
humanity, technically we’ll be well advanced thanks to the big three. But as
for spiritually or otherwise it may be a huge catastrophe.
