I have been looking for this entry for about 2 months. I remember reading it last year but I forgot where it was. He had a very depressing view of the world.
I woke up the other day from a nap thinking about the dream I had just had. I take alot of naps lately cause of meds and stuff. The dream isn't what I am thinking about right now, it's what I got to thinking about after that. My dream was about using the iphone, 3 G phones, and stuff like that. In my dream, I was able to watch tv, movies, baseball games, and video chat no matter where I was. It got me to thinking about just what life will be like in 10 years. I really think that by that time there will be so many restrictions on technology and the use of said technology, I think it will be a very controlled society. The more technologically dependant we become the fewer freedoms, less real capital, and fewer actual jobs producing a product (most jobs will be in some form of policing our society, policing our thoughts, and moving around the virtual capital that our world has become so dependent upon) we will have. But there will be more toys (anything from TVs, flying personal planes, trips to the bottom of the ocean, trips to space, new drugs, or whatever comes along that can keep people from seeing what they have become) to occupy our time on Earth. I really don't think I would like it. To me it just seems depressing that our society has evolved into what it is now. We have almost become a drone state. In 10 years, it will be 1000 times worse.
