A sense of the future…

Very interesting video. Its inevitable that mankind would somehow evolve in such a technological manner as to merely just want information and it reveals itself, as to merely just think about doing something and its done. For example, if you want to move a bottle of water from point A to point B in a table, your thoughts send signals to your arms (the machine) and your arms do the moving. But what if you just have to think about it, and it moves by itself? or what about walking into a dark room and wanting the lights on, it automatically switches on (we already have the clap-on lights, how many more steps to mental responsitivity). What if we had the technology to recognize our wants, to know what is the best for us as individuals, to be-able to tap into our deepest thoughts and desires, things that we aren’t even conscious of, then bring that out into the physical world.
I mean seriously somehow, someway this thing, this form of change will happen, be it through technological progress or mental (humans use less than 30% of their brain power). In other words, a bus operator sees a potential passenger (due to the fact that a person is standing by the sidewalk in front of a bus stop sign). The operator processes all this information, and comes to a conclusion that the guy wants to get in. He stops the bus and the person walks in, all done without even saying a single word. So taking the whole bus as one big machine (including the driver), the passenger stopped the bus just by standing at the sidewalk by the bus stop sign. Its happening all around us, on top of that the bus operator just had to press a button to open the door. Imagine this button was in the mind, and for every single button that we use right now, in your cellphone, the car, the remote control, the keyboards in your laptop….what endless possibilities would we have.

You can also approach this whole thing from another perspective. Lets take mind reading for example. Every day in our conversations, we most surely at least once read the mind of the person we talk to. Sometimes we even know what they’re about to say, and say it to ourselves, anticipation or human instinct? Who knows. Isn’t that something? In a bar or a club or just anywhere public, you see this really good looking girl, checking you out. Gestures and facial expressions, all without using a single word, she “tells”  you that she likes you. The economy is moving from responsibility to convenience. Like what Patty Maes said, most of us would rather pick the tissue with most bleach than the one that was more economically responsible. What if speaking is not the most convenient thing anymore. My point is that prehistoric animals developed legs to walk on land, blind fishes produced off-springs that had eyes when they started living in the light. Wouldn’t it be so convenient as to just have a conversation without saying a single word? Wouldn’t it be so convenient as to just let the world around you move a certain way, act a certain action, as you think, watch and sit back…
