Self-Distruction

I understand a lot about technology. I might not be IT savvy, but I do have a considerable amount of knowledge toward what we deal with today, but what I do not get is how upcoming do not seem to get it. We all watch sci-fi. Let us face it we have seen it happen over our lifetime, just was not as bad. We had space movies, and reality taught us to get to the moon. We had Hal the robot who controlled 2001 A Space Odyssey, so we all assumed one day we'll have a space station and we created Skylab. However, why don‘t we ever get it?

We sit around now and complain about jobs. Does anyone not see where we are headed? Maybe not in my life time but at least in my kid’s lifetime, there will be some sort of robotics that eliminates the welfare of an honest days work. We did see i-ROBOT right? Then I forget the name of the movie, but Green something I believe.... but it is where government simply gathered people up and imprisoned them for being around the age of 60 or so. Then they annihilated them and used them for fertilizer. Ok far fetch maybe, but think about it, if Hollywood can think it up and dream it up and we've seen what their sci-fi buddies have created that turned into reality, anything is possible.

My point is doesn't anyone see that the more we progress and I'm not against progression at all but when it affects mankind do we not see now things we're doing daily can progress to the point where we are hurting ourselves. Greed in Corporations will become outdated. Money will become obsolete. So you are getting rich now but one day when you have all this money and a one-world government decides for you that it is worthless and now you will answer to them then what will greed have accomplished?

Those list from the good ole days are true and shed light, but what is next... You kids have it so easy, I remember when we had to take the space shuttle to work just to earn enough to stay alive, and today you kids just beam yourself around the globe and create virtual mistresses to come in an baby-sit y'all. Y'all have it way to easy.

Fiction yes, but to me, it is the future and we just do not realize we are our own worst enemy, and we will eventually self-destruct!
