There is nothing like the past


When you think about the future it is impossible no to think about technology, apparently  it is the subject which defines what is going to be or not in this planet. Technology is something unstoppable because even small improvements in our lifestyle are considered technological advances.

I tend to think that even though technology is here to make us life a more practical life, is also depriving us of enjoying the most basic tasks like a beautiful sunny day, hanging out with friends, or going to the cinema and is taking us to a dreadful future;

This is because we are relying on electronic devices or in virtual stuff more than our brain capability we  are reducing our analysis skills to machines and turning it into dependency. Furthermore, we have become in isolated human beings; Children and teenagers are everytime more interested in playing computer games or games console that going out with friends to watching a movie or just to going out from their houses or even bedrooms for simply human interaction.

As I have written before, it seems to me the future is not  totally promising, for sure we are going to have lots of fun, we are going to own devices which will do unimaginable things for us and we are going to have more free time to do what we really enjoy doing, but we will probably be trapped in a virtual world in which we have become virtual as well, in which we are only a credit card number, a funny, intriguing or strange nick name.

Overall, the future is not a beautiful place in which I want to live, obviously I’m living my future every day in my present but the future is not as appealing for me as it is for most people, I still believe that every time  in the past was better there is nothing like the past.
