The
year is 2025,
Technology
and its numerous applications expand, while the world increasingly shrinks.
Barriers
are broken down and communities once foreign gradually integrate
As
natural resources dwindle and economies struggle, governments and territories
are forced to merge.
Technology
bridges the gap,
In
just over a century we have gone from communicating via telegram to the
hologram,
Interacting
with loved ones and colleagues in three dimensional real-time normality,
Taking
for granted the conveniences of the present oblivious to the struggles of the
past,
Universal-language-translation
apps make it possible to speak foreign languages without having to learn them.
New
innovations and technologies level the playing field,
Gadgets
and apps simplify our lives, and as tasks get easier, thinking becomes more
difficult
Capitalism
drives markets and a world more wired than any other time in history to boost
the competitive mindset,
Humanity
is simultaneously more connected and more distant than ever before,
Interaction
via cyber interface has become our comfort zone and relating offline has
become… a novelty,
Genetically
modified food, synthetic medicine, cloned animals, 3D printers, and artificial
intelligence simultaneously sustains and drains us,
A
culture of instant gratification and on demand entertainment and consumption
stunts our ability to function,
Pampered
by technology, the line between adolescence and adulthood blurs
Adults
have become children without innocence,
As
personal power and convenience flows, it is possible for our greatest dreams to
be realized,
Our
patience and tolerance ebbs, creating a parallel threat to the viability of
those very dreams
And
it seems, we have built a pleasure filled candy-land society filled with empty
calories that is sure to rot the teeth of its consumers over time,
The
year is 2025 and it looks a lot like 2015 except on steroids
