When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone? Or the last time you sent a greeting card? Don’t remember?
Well, all these conventional sources of communication have been replaced by e-mails and e-cards and this is what we call as the techno revolution.
A few years back cell phones were considered to be a luxury, but now they have become more of a necessity. Earlier postmen were long awaited by us, but now all we wait for is a Facebook update or Twitter tweets. Way back in the 90s we did not imagine that chatting on Whats-App and e-buddy would be our daily routine instead of verbal communication. Neither did we imagine that TV sets and PCs would become as thin as a book.
Considering all these modifications, we can now develop a vision about how our future would be like. How the year 2050 would be like?
Presently, we usually battle with our alarm clock. In the year 2050, we will have a device that would limit or control our sleeping capability that would ultimately wake us according to the designated time.
We need not rush to the toilets for all the waste matter would get absorbed from our body by certain radiations. Food will take the form of small, potable tablets.
Traffic is one of the largest problems in the world. In 2050, we might give rise to air traffic. Just like Jet sons did! While introspecting the outburst of economic growth of India, by 2050 Rs.1.would equal to $50.
In 2050, a trip to the US would cost us a mere $500 and the duration of the journey could be deduced to a few minutes instead of hours. Moreover, people would prefer the moon, mars and other planets over hot spot holiday destinations like Switzerland, Mauritius, Australia and so on while planning their vacations.
“Once upon a time, children used to study in a school and read books made of paper…….”
Our next generations would get amused and entertained on reading stories like this.
Instead of humans, robots and machines would rule all the spheres of our lifestyle.
In short, greenery will be substituted by different metallic shades and sentiments will take the form of electric signals. And this is how i envision circa 2050 – spectacular and brilliantly amazing to fantasize but too technological to handle. I just hope Homo sapiens do not devise a faster way to reproduce also.
Dear author,
Your article reminded me of a play read long back and I have faint remembrance of such a depiction in that… Manjula Padmanabhan has also depicted organ transplant in future in her play Harvest
but I personally feel these to remain an imagination only… because use or misuse depends on the rational of human beings…
And the article is actually interesting to read. And yes I agree to technological to handle. Great efforts.
Thank you Shubh
Let us wait if something like that happens or not. Although i would never want it to.
Oh i didn’t have any idea about the resemblance though. And I totally agree with you . Even i would not want to live in such techno’ savvy world considering the fact that am more content with the situations prevailing presently.
I wish your this vision never comes true…. because it’ll kill the emotions of people but i fear that it is going to be the reality of future. Day before yesterday there was an article in Economic Times about super rich Indians going for personal planes to avoid road traffics so no wonder air traffic may become a problem in 2050 but i wonder super rich will choose which mode of transportation then????
Liked your blog. keep it up and m waiting for some more interesting blogs from you.
Dear Ashish Sharma,
Two three days back even i read an article about transplanting of human brains in robots so that human beings become eternal. About the super rich people, well it depends on their rationality too. And thanks
