It’s rather sad...if you asked most American’s 25 years ago what the future would be like, most of the responses would be based upon technology advances...flying cars, robots, moon bases, etc.
Now everyone knows that in 20 years, technology will be much greater than today, but overall there is little interest or excitement for it.
I believe it’s because we’ve already had such a huge explosion of technology in the past decade, yet I don’t think it has improved anyone’s lives much. Everyone has this feeling that continued technology advances will likely harm our lives and freedoms more than improve our lives or make a more interesting world even.
What everyone seems to agree about the future is that it will be a huge racial struggle between the makers and the takers.—
Some of predicting the future seems obvious:
Race vs. Race in USA
European vs. Muslim in Europe
Muslims killing in the MiddleEast
Blacks continue to lead in crime, trail in education and job market.
Some is not:
It seems that our country can only have 1 of 2 futures: Balkanization or Tolitarianism to force everyone together. Which will it be?
What will replace the Welfare system when it goes broke?
My predictions for technology: self-driving cars, TV screens as thin as paper. Medical cures for 10X the diseases, but it is one tenth as available due to government involvement.
Most level one phone customer support will be replaced by artificial intelligence that will be so good, that a law will be placed that a company must enclose information that you are speaking to a computer and not a person when you make phone calls.
The term technology (or tech) will have the same kind of exciting impact as saying “pass the bologna” does today. :’) It’s almost there now.
