The future |
![]()
The future is an unknown mystery that not even the
most respected scientists can predict. Of course they can say I think
it will be like this or I think it will be like that, but they can
never know for sure. In 1943 Tomas Watson said something like ”I
think there is a world-market for about five computer” and later
in 1957 the responsible publisher at Prentice Hall said something
like “I’ve travelled across the country and talked to
the most experienced people, and I can assure you that computers are
a trend that will last for at most a year”. Look at how wrong
they were! Everything or almost everything has some sort of computer
component. If you don’t have one of your own you are considered
a little bit of a freak, at least if your younger than 60+. Internet
is a medium we can’t live without today. You can find everything
from books and scientific dissertations to communities and everything
in between. And with the thought of how wrong Watson and the publisher
was I think it’s impossible to predict the future, but you can
always speculate. Everyone should agree that if we don’t get
control over our pollution and use of fossil fuel our children will
have it so much harder to get the earth in balance and get a place
were all mankind can live. But apart from that it’s difficult
to say what’s going to happen. I think that the computers are
going to have an even bigger part in our communities in the future.
I think that the transportations are going to be driven by electricity
and maybe they won’t have wheel but have air-openings that blow
air against the ground and hinders it from cashing. Maybe the cities
will be flying in the sky or maybe we will live underground or maybe
both. One thing is clear, the change the nearest hundred years will
probably be as big as the one that the last hundred years and some
of them you can predict but most of them are impossible to even guess,
there are to many choices for mankind to make. Hopefully we will make
most of them to the better so that the next generations don’t
have too many mistakes to repair.
