One of the most interesting subjects to me is the future. I like to picture the world as if it is an episode of the Jetsons. Every house is miles in the air. Cars fly. I can get away with naming my dog Astro without someone giving me a weird look. It would be grand.
In reality, this day will probably never come and if it does, I will be long gone. Instead, my future will most likely be dominated by one of the prominent societies on today’s planet: the Internet. And yes, I called it a society. Why?
The internet has evolved from a vast database of information to an extension of life. Your persona is not just the physical you, but the cyber you. We are all part of an expansive society online and it will continue to grow. As advances like virtual reality are introduced to the world, our cyber identity will melt more and more with our physical identity. The question, though, is whether we will be lost or grown. There’s only one way to find out.
