As I have been commenting on other's blogs, I noticed that quite a few people have been discussing what they think the future has in store for them and society. I don't recall having to write a post about this but nevertheless I will end my blog with my speculations on what I think is to come in my lifetime.
My outlook for the future is quite bleak. I think that humans are very at fault for the majority of the issues we are facing on the planet right now (global warming, climate change, loss of glaciers, reemergence of diseases, loss of species, etcetera). At the rate that the planet's environment and atmosphere is deteriorating, I don't think the Earth will be habitable for humans anymore due to our own greed, selfishness, and laziness. Will this happen in my lifetime? Probably not. But I do believe a few generations after I'm gone from this world will start to experience severe consequences from the actions of our carelessness. Unless the world as a whole makes an effort to curb pollution, over population, deforestation, ocean acidification, and the myriad of other problems stemming from human kind, it will be too late at this point to try and reverse our damage.
I see technology's impact in our world growing tenfold over just the next few decades. I'm convinced that artificial intelligence will take on a new role in society - farther than just existing as a disembodied voice inside a computer or a speaker (Siri, Alexa, Cortana, etc.). If people think we are too reliant on technology today, I can't wait to see what advances come in the near future that make us wholly independent on electronics to function.
In terms of my own future, I just hope to find happiness and to do what I love: create art. I want to be able to share my thoughts and ideas with the world and to make an impact in my community. One day I want a family, a house, and a stable life like many people dream of. Although the world may falling into chaos, whats important is to try and find your own way of living, coping, and being happy within the madness.
