I live in a University town. The coffee shops and watering holes used to be places where one could barely hear oneself think for the noise of young people conversing at full volume. Today they are as quiet as the grave, with a sea of young faces buried in i-Phones texting the people sitting next to them. Moreover, I understand the new fashion in offices among the young entrants to the workforce is to take down the cubicles and have everyone sitting together in one big room, where (since they are not allowed to use their electronic devices,) they can actually see the faces of fellow human beings.
Twice as many people every year, in this digital and electronic paradise we have created, die of overdoses of opiates and anti-depressants, as die in car accidents.
You will see husbands and wives walking together or at dinner together, each with their faces buried in an electronic device. You will see families sitting around the table for meals in silence, (those that still maintain this quaint tradition) not speaking, but all texting someone.
You will see children, lonely and depressed children, who have never seen love and warmth in the eyes of another human being, and strung out on anti-depressants and opiates, picking up assault weapons and murdering dozens of their fellow children.
The drug companies are third only, behind the energy and electronic device companies, in their immense profits of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. They are closely followed by the medical providers, who face an epidemic of obesity, heart disease, strokes, cancers, and suicide, which take thousands of times more lives each year than terrorism.
So, to answer the question: The technological future, since human beings are not machines but warm-blooded, living, intelligent, social animals (yes, we are still animals after all is said and done,) if we continue on the same course of endlessly more profitable and lucrative technological barriers to real, living communication, is a future of horror, distress, violence, insanity, and death.
