i'm sick of commercials starting with "imagine a world where technology..." well fine, i'm doing it...
it is pretty obvious to me that technology and religion cannot coexist. Sure we've all seen nuns dancing to the beat impregnated by the ipod headphones into her prayer friendly eardrums and why not, if not you, i've seen laptops giving the alarm call for morning prayers and simulating the priest in a muslim_prayer.exe file. Sure this cannot go for much longer, and since religion had its turn, u can see where i'm going...
but is this good? where is this future taking us...i believe that technology is moving kind of fast, and even if we didn't get flying cars by year 2000 like spielberg and vernes predicted, we can duplicate people, we can fly two times the speed of sound, we have mobile phones which play music and videos and go on the net and we even have illuminating headphones which light to the beat....... and we're progressing exponantially, we start caring less about reliability and we're more and more concerned about the next step without being sure of the present step. We want more power, more precision, more future, less present.
At this pace things will evolve really fast and we might even get closer to the great answer for "what is our purpose in life?". But i'm afraid we're gonna reach for it like a prisoner is reaching through the bars of its cell to a key three meters further and as we bend the bars through the power of our technology, the lack of reliability might straighten them when we're getting out head first and we might get blown into the past in a thousand million of a second.
So what do i think of this future, where cars will go three times the speed of light but might disintegrate at a "speed hump" and we die? what do i think of a future, where computers could make the earth turn the other way at the glance of F2 key?...
I say BRING IT ON!!!... but quicker, we don't have much left to live and i want to see the end of the world before i die.

that's so.. so.. well I don't know; you really are afraid that you're going to die before some major, and I mean MAJOR, phenomenon has happened? Don't you think you should worry more about the present?..
no, i will continue worrying about the future if you don't mind.
