The future in 200 years
That title is wrong, actually. It should read: the present in 200 years. And this, below, is my imagining of it.
There will be no screens of any kind. There will be no computers, either. What there will be is the ability to see something and have it manifest right there before you at a moment’s notice. You will buy these things and there will be a restriction, of course, of what you can and can’t see in public (you couldn’t just have nude sexy women wandering about before you when there are families around).
There will be no Facebook in 200 years, because it is pointless. To send information to someone, all you need do is stand at a special Thought Teleportation Point and you will be able to connect with whoever it is instantly, providing they accept you communicating with them, of course.
I for one would love to be able to live in a world where I could communicate with anyone instantly. My phone, although brand-new, is utterly hopeless
But the world will be full of amazing things. Why? Because everyone will see the world how they need to see it. Depressed people will see a world which is not too happy and not too sad, and people who are stressed by crowds will see a world without so many people in it. In other words, it’ll be a kind of utopia.
The only thing which troubles me about this future world is the lack of problems. Because in a world without problems, surely that’s got to be a problem in its own right? For example, say I want to buy Caravan insurance and the man on the phone at the insurance company is being really nice. After a week of niceness, wouldn’t I like to feel some kind of tension. Wouldn’t I want to have something to get annoyed about? I don’t know for sure, but I think I would.
Of course, there will be plenty of problems which we will be pleased to see the back of. For example: the post arriving late, crime, murder, rape and all that. So I suppose the good things would out-weigh the negatives. And I for one would love to be able to live in a world where I could communicate with anyone instantly. My phone, although brand-new, is utterly hopeless about getting a signal anywhere. Besides that, I am always dropping it on the floor – something which wouldn’t happen in the future as it is quite possible that in 200 years there will be no floor.
