THE FUTURE

I happened to see Jetson’s cartoon, what once was called I-grandchildren, to reflect on the future. In this cartoon the pills to replace the various tastes and meals robot careers fully those, which do not even make the effort to walk, because their house is full of tapis-roulant which carry them from one room to 'other. Well, this idea of the future does not attract me very much, because, thinking about it, if we prevented the machines we all efforts, I fear that in addition to muscle atrophy there is also the brain atrophy! In fact I believe that the future can not be very different from this. For the comfort of daily life, I think we are approaching a blatant thing, after which it is unthinkable to go. A simple consideration convinces me. When in the last decades of the twentieth century it was thought until 2000, was convinced that there would have been extraordinary changes in lifestyle and society. Well, now the threshold of the new millennium we can live more long than before. Who knows who would make a dead man in the sixties, seeing as the men of 2000 are essentially the same as him! I will be somewhat 'pessimistic, but I imagine a little old and' sick, and I fear that this is more of a certainty that a hypothesis, and above all I see humanity still prey of terrorism and war, because they are convinced that evil is inside the man and will not be easy to eradicate. Perhaps the problem is that I think is essentially useless to think of the future. In my opinion we must live the present, but to live intensely, in all its parts, in joy, sorrow, happiness and sadness
