A gaze into future

Looking into the future is always a fun; we had been quite curious to know things will be as the time pass. If we watch early Science fiction movies, we could see what that era expected to happen around 2000+. It is funny to see that and compare with the surroundings now. We had out-pared most of the scientific expectations expressed by those futurists. Some of their imagination never occurred .. (in fact, many are still carried forward). When we think about future, we do have an image of people in bright colored cloth, wearing a electrical wired helmet, also that florescent drink.

Here are few of my thoughts on future:
  • Unique identification number for people, at global level
  • Tight security, surveillance and low crime rate
  • High concentrated urban life style. Mega apartments and narrow path.
  • People hardly need to go out as all facilities and work environment are available at their living room.
  • Improved medical care but collapses once in a while with massive out burst of unknown illness which claims millions.
  • Heavy amount spent on upgrading military, thou war never happens. (Everyone aware of the fatal blow to the planet)
  • inferior leadership

Let us see if we reach there before hitting a total economic break down or a severe loss of population through political conflicts.
