Despite being in a phase where I am yet to decide, What am I going to do with my Life? I am confused with the question, What is the future of Mankind? Not that I care less about my future prospects of becoming a Resource to the Family.
With the increasing complexity of the world which confuses us in day to day affairs of our lives. I am wondering what will happen to us in the ultimate future. Will we be like "The Jetsons", living a High-Tech life of cars Flying in the sky Or will we move to the Moon as shown in WALL-E because of destruction of Earth which according to 2012 should already have taken place.
Whichever the case may be, the medical science will take over tremendously, increasing our life expectancy more than average. Too sad for those who have been sentenced for more that 250 years in U.S Prisons.
Various Futurologists and several successful CEO's suggest that the future of mankind is "COMMUNICATION"
This is what the Western Culture has been trying to teach us over the years. Be it Social Networking, Instant Messaging, Blogging or Telecommunication. We are coming close to the "Star Trek" situation where, by mere tapping of chip on our shoulder would we be able to communicate among our fellow beings. Our thoughts would create signals that would help communicate with the person we wish to talk to.
In all this process of advancement of technology we never thought about "What?" are we going to communicate. Or even the deeper question; Was Man born to Communicate by sharing their lives over a Complex Coded Sophisticated Network which we call the World Wide Web. Or Man was born for higher pursuits like finding the purpose of life, discovering the Realms of his own Brain by increasing the psychic powers, as our Sages used to do. But it seems we have off-shored the potential of Human Brain through the ionosphere to a bunch of pinheaded gadgets.
I don't wish to put any light on the advantages of communication media, which has definitely changed our lives. But I believe that too much sharing of thoughts has Complexified our Worlds, as we have gathered a pile of prerequisite information and history is becoming huge day by day. We may have servers at Google that can handle Terabytes's of data, but we sometimes need to Empty our Brains so as to view the true purpose. With the advancement of technology, communication would become much faster, but life will become more complex as every next generation would require more and more data to process so as to catch up with the ever growing Threshold of Information.
I wish the Sages of India had not been so protective about the Knowledge of Salvation that they possessed. Now we have a faster medium of communication, but have nothing substantial to Communicate.
This explains why I didn't blog for so long !!
