The Real Future

[Shoe of all Cosmos]

I think it's funny that movies will depict the future as being filled with all kinds of gadgets meant to make life easier, like automatic doors and flying cars. It's most apparent in movies that aren't quite new. People have always seemed to envision the future as a simple upgrade of technology, rather than an evolution of the quality of life itself, which is what it's actually become. The world is a network of information now, a world where you can know virtually anything instantly as it happens. Hollywood didn't predict that at all.

What I mean is, the way the future is arriving has surprised me. Everything is connected now. The most recent example is, the latest DSi update allows you to upload pictures straight to Facebook. You can twitter from all kinds of devices. You can show where you are with an iPhone. That is what the future is, and not the inside-the-box Hollywood flying cars.

Bottom line, the future is an evolution of how we live life, and not just gadget upgrades, and I'm amused at all the stupid movies that show the latter.

I have been seeing that for a long time...
The future is going to be a steady increase of technology though.
Not too high-techy stuff.

There is a science fiction/comedy movie that depicts the future as a world filled with dumb people, because people with lower IQ are reproducing more often.

I think the movie is called "Idiocracy".

That's my fucking worst nightmare.

The stupid people are the ones who don't use protection, have illegitimate children, and keep having kids when they don't have the means to support them. Then they pass down these asinine lifestyles and beliefs to their next generation, which will in turn have crotchlings aplenty just like before.

Whereas, the smart people are the ones who postpone getting married and having children until they have a career in their late 20's, and then they might have just two or three offspring. The dumb people are the ones who get pregnant at 17 and have four more brats by the age of 22. It's a damn fucking shame this is the way things are.

Here's something to haunt you: Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of humanity is stupider than that.

I'm pretty sure that was a documentary. Not a comedy. :dog:
