We are at the end of 2012 and eventually, and I am pretty certain we will enter 2013. But it looks like we haven't really entered the future yet. But I should look back about 1998-1999 and I realize that technology was a lot more primitive back than then it was now. The basic lifestyle from 1998 hasn't changed a lot, but it looks like we are transitioning from the 1998 lifestyle to a more modern lifestyle. The lifestyle of 2006 was a lot closer to 1998 than the lifestyle of 2012 as it is to 2006. Even 2006 has the taste of the old.
The 1990s and 2000s haven't really changed much in the way you live. Pretty much 1998 and 2003 were not that much different. The internet was pretty simplistic and a lot of people were using traditional media such as TV. Cell phones were klunky back in 1998 and a lot of people used the mobile landline phone. But 2012 it looks like the technology has changed drastically. Cell phones are almost always smartphones and touchscreens have become the mainstream. Touch screens and smartphones were around in the 1990s, along with tablets, but now they have become mainstream. The internet has become the source of entertainment - it always been, but now it has become something that is making TV so "old school" and geratric. The internet is starting to become more integrated into pop culture and we are watching The Annoying Orange than whatever is on the idiot box.
I can see technology is starting to emerge and eventually we are going to enter a truly high tech world. And isn't it really that bad.
You should not fear the future - I have a feeling things are going to be a lot more better. Our political situation is in a mess along with the economic situation but we are entering a more, futuristic transition. I am not sure what is emerging but maybe we might not be as material as we used to be and we will focus more on family and relationships. Relationships are going to be a lot more important and it is starting already than stuff. The internet now is all about sharing and we are constantly sharing to our friends - the web has become one big family. The internet used to be having me post this blog into the open space of big mouths but now it looks like your close friends and family can read what you post. We are going to be more connected than ever before and family has become closer, even friends had become closer. We are at the end of the age of fortune and fame, it is all about relationships including God.
The internet has evolved into this pool of "bullcrap" and now everything can go. Everything can be interpreted anyway - I am just shooting my mouth off and contributing to the irrationality of the world. It looks like we don't care about intelligence as much anymore as anything goes- I say it, I believe it. But there might be some very interesting philosophies on the world of the web and I am one of the contributers.
This typing is a great way to build off steam and to get it all sounded off. Sometimes it is good to bounce off the inner workings of the mind and it will get it off my chest. My mind is just whizzing with a bunch of jibbery jabbery that I need to actually express it out. The internet has been a great tool for it. But the jibbery jabbery of the web has become a shape of the future - relationships. We love our friends and family, and family is going to become important again. Family values might be the key again and the more functional the family - the better it is.
