I Just Learned That They Don't Teach Cursive Writing In Schools These Days.....

44. No Need To Kid - I Am An Old Fuddy Duddy - A Relic Of The Past - Not With The Times....

After all - computers are taking everything over. Robotics have replaced people in factories, stores and in the home. We don't need to go to a store anymore - just do your shopping on-line. The Pea-Pod drone will bring your groceries to you. A drone from Amazon will drop off your new computer to you. We'll pay with bitcoin. Self-driving cars will even give us more time to spend on our computers. Beam me up Scottie. When will they be implanting a sensor into our bodies so we can hook up to a computer and get diagnosed for health problems? Doctors will just reprogram or reboot us. Hey - maybe even 'virtual restaurants' where we can see a picture of food and have it sent through our health sensor to satisfy our hunger with more 'bytes'.

Social media has replaced 'eye to eye' - 'person to person' contact. I wonder how Facebook will be in the future when we'll be able to tell our friends how wonderful it is to do nothing anymore. Virtual reality will replace vacations.

Have a question - don't look it up - just ask Siri. Hell - I can stay in the comfort of my own home and be virtually anywhere in the world. What are we going to do when we have all this time on our hands? Won't need to read - cause through that same health sensor - we'll be able to send knowledge. No need for schools at all anymore. Be damned cursive.

Reminds me of the Edward G. Robinson scene in the movie Soylent Green - where he went to the supermarket to die. Except we won't even have to be placed in a room with a big screen or music piped in. We just put on our virtual reality headset and drift off into a deep, deep, sleep.

Sports - we don't need no stinking sports either. Just join a fantasy league. After all we're so bored with actual sporting events now we have to create our own reality.

We don't even need actors to entertain us either. We've got computer graphics that can create anything or anybody we want to have entertain us now.

No need for Medicare. No need for Social Security. We won't get sick. We won't get old. Don't worry about the crumbling infrastructure as we won't be venturing out of our homes to even experience it.

Hell we could have a 'virtual government' as well. We can have a 'fantasy congress' - where we can pick our own politicians and pick our own outcomes. Come to think about it - we probably have a 'fantasy congress' right now. What will the 1%'ers do with all their money? Who will they pay off? Will computer programmers be the 1%er's of the future?

The oldest profession will even die out when we figure out computer generated sex. Wonder what the porn of the future will be?

Where is all this going? Where will it end? Gee - look where all my creative energy has taken me!!!!
