See you in the future

If you were a pencil you would get a sore head, because it would be constantly bashed into bits of paper and dragged along in arcs and lines. Unless you were a pencil with your head up high, then you would get sore feat, but dont be so fast to complain about that, its the sharpening I think you should be concerned bout.

If you were a diary you would know the times of and happenings of all that your user partakes in, or at least all that your user hopes to accomplish. If you were a diary would you use electric shock therapy to make your user do what they said they wanted to do? You would need a battery. You would need eyes to observe all your users movements and align them with breakfast at 8am, “work” 9am-12pm, lunch 12-1pm and so on. You would need to interpret “work” strictly. In the future people will drop all responsibility for organisation and such diaries will be the only things that will allow humanity’s exponential production of information – required for the development of intergalactic travel – to occur. Such an age will also be characterised by electronic post-it notes – that will through an amalgamation of artificial mind-reading technology and google – display just what you need to know when you look at them. If two people look at one such post-it note, he who is in greatest need shall be supplied before he who can handle to wait. Such differentiation will be determined by artificial emotion recognition technology. Emotional people will thus have faster access to information which will eventually lead to the loss of reasoned thought and the long foretold decline of civilisation into the age of confusion. Through this period a post-it note king will rule and the masses will be enslaved to the convenience and foolish instant wisdom he sprouts. But one day there will be a power failure, so great that all post-it notes will cease to function, this will be rememberd as "the day the great enchantment was broken", and the people will begin to realise a world without an amalgamation of mind-reading technology and google. They will then return to the farms of their forefathers and be at peace.

A recent survey by a scientist has revealed deep insights into what we think will happen in the future:

Probly more people get born, more people die, more stuff gets invented and more stuff gets eaten something like that

We'll b grown up. Fashion will turn bad, im imagining ppl walking around with cellphones permanently attached to their ears and wearing tight coloured silver suits

The world will run out of resources – hopefully I will be dead and my childrn cn wori bwt that

Cars running on air. cure for cancer? me getting married to a blonde?

I assume that at some point the world will end, before then I will ride a bike

I will have a sleep. Joe will say “faaarr” and “I cant believe it!” India will become a super power. Jesus will return. Batman begins 2 will be released

I hope to get a paper published in my name. actually i just wish to finish my thesis this year.

I think people will become more and more mechanical and invisibility controlled but there will also be people who... aren’t... and magic mushrooms may sprout all over the earth while mice start to talk.

I think that america will suffer another terrorist attack. Southland will win the ranfurly shield. The all blacks will win the world cup. And I will become an economist. The world will end and we will all go to heaven. But things will get interesting before then.

Such diversity of opinion led the researcher to conclude that many things will unfold in the future.
