RE: What Your Work Life Will Look Like in the Future
I use to be one of those people frighten by our rapidly advancing technology. I would look at smart tech and think Skynet. I would see Big Brother in data collection. But in the last year or so I've come around to seeing the boon that's been granted to us. I'm waiting for people to let go of the old paradigm and see that we are moving more in the direction of Star Trek. Especially since joining the Steemit community I once again have hope for the future of humanity. I want to wake people up to the idea that our resources are only limited by our imagination.
It's natural to be skeptical, and I would be lying to myself if I didn't have some of the same thoughts regarding Big Brother haha. I think people are scared of the unknown, but once the curtain is pulled back, people will realize that the overall pros far outweigh the cons. We just have to agree on what we really desire.
"I want to wake people up to the idea that our resources are only limited by our imagination." Love.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment : )
Therein lies the crux. The majority of people today are so divided by the small, unimportant issues of everyday life that they are unwilling to admit there is any common ground when it comes to the pertinent matters on which they actual agree. I do see a shift in this mindset however. Like the 100 monkey hypothesis, when a critical mass of the population can see passed the unconscious programming that has permeated our society over the last few millennia, we will finally be able to move forward into a more prosperous future for all. I think we still have a long way to go before the curtain can be pulled back, but the curtain is in sight, and the light on the other side is growing bright enough to light the way.
