Some time back i saw on discovery channel that the scientists are developing various gadgets which can be attached with human beings as an extra memory say a kind of hard disk drive so that people can store extra information in it directly transferring the data from their brains(sounds weired). Within the next two centuries, telephones and the like will be totally obsolete. Televisions and like will disappear. Every person's physical body will contain the capabilities. Nobody will have to bother dialing a telephone. A person will only need to beam out the number of the desired party from his own built-in phone, with its antennae located in the eyebrows or from his hair, and the other person will receive the call the same built-in way. That's how easy it will be to place a phone call. And those who wont upgrade themselves will be left behind( According to Darwin's theory "Survival of the fittest") . And if any problem comes with our body we will have to show that to Robotic engineer cum doctor.
In 1998 a person developed a mechanic hand that can be controlled through Internet scientist are developing such things for performing operations( doctors on one side of the planet and patient on other).Don't know what will happen if there will be a network congestion.
Moreover scientists can now change the genes and mix them with animals genes to create new type which neither resembles any of the previous ones.Well lets go more further.. how about 500 or 1000 yrs from now. Humans changed into half machines much advanced race than us and calling to their relatives residing in other planets.
Just take for example about 100 years ago from now if we would have said to people that in future we can fly in aircrafts, talk to anyone from anywhere using mobiles and have a device named computer which can do so many tasks they might call us insane.
But will all these technical advances really help mankind?? Take for eg. mobiles they are now known to create cancers. Television for eye problems etc. What about other warfare items?
Mankind will also be effected by environmental factors.
Lets take for example global warming. Do u really believe that human race will extinct with gradual change or even say sudden change of climatic conditions( Movie "Day After Tomorrow"). I would say no. Many will definitely die but human race won't get extinct. I say so because humans can travel from one place to another much faster (aircrafts) than other species on this planet, though many will be left behind. What about increasing content of CO2 and other gases and pollution? The number of percentage patients have increased complaining about asthma, lung cancer etc.
Three months back i saw an add in Television people selling a device which absorbs the Co2 and other harmful gases present in a room, made especially for these people. Is this the future, because concentration of these gases is increasing day by day. Yes life will still survive and give rise to species which can live also in those conditions as "life always finds a way" dialog from "Jurassic Park" movie. eg Scientists say that cockroaches can even survive a "nuclear war". What if it really happens in future?
I read somewhere that a guy was talking about energy crises and pollution stuff and he got a simple comment from other one that the scientists will find out a new way. gave eg of solar energy, wind energy, even hydrogen etc, but still wait till when and these have their own limitations? Harmful gases concentration is still increasing.
I think i may not stop writing about this topic but this one going very long things are just flowing into my mind and i cant stop.
Well we can only predict what the future will be. It may be possible that after few 100 years from now(if my blog still remains on net). A person might come to this post and adds his comment that he went to mars in his college trip . Who knows?????

Post a CommentVery interesting. Well written.
Very interesting and thought provoking!
Interesting topic to think about. :-)
Surely provides food for thought.Interesting read.Thanks for thinking of it.
Good subject Ankit wish I had thought of it :)
great article. Technology is so advanced there is almost nothing that cant be done these days.
Very thought provoking...It does make you wonder what the future will bring!
There's a lot of truth to this article. I'm sure our ancestors back a few hundred years ago never would have believed it would be possible to communicate with people from all over the world through a small box or listen to music from a device small enough to fit in a pocket!
I'm not sure if I'd welcome this advancement, but I won't be around in 500 years...or will I?
Good subject Ankit. And who really knows what the future will bring?
