Ninth day down, twenty-one to go
As life progresses in our day and age, our life seems to be more empty and just whisking away. We cannot control it, things just seem to be going fast, and we are not enjoying and savoring any moment of it. How can we prevent such things? Do we build a time optimizer machine? We can’t. Humans can’t do that. Humans were able to create the impossible, but only thing they can never do, is control time.
Unfortunately, our time has changed.
Time just devours us, and controls us. I was writing the title of my post and thinking.. Ninth day? Has it been that quick. And I was looking at the date, September 21st. Really? September is almost over. When did this happen? Our our lives that empty or just our way of life is too fast. Things are moving just too fast for us to keep up.
I am saying this because I am in the fastest, most growing field in the world. The world of technology. As I browse the net, I see new gadgets, games, systems, hardware, etc, daily. It’s absurd! Who can keep up with what? The technology, the competition, it is just too much to deal with. I knew when I started this field of technology that it won’t be like any other field out there. Once you are in it, you are a long life learner. If you don’t update and keep up with the fast paced world, you will become a Midevil human living in an Industrial era. You would just be way off. DAILY way off.
The world as we know it has become a vacuum of information. I cannot keep up. I just use word of mouth to learn and know about new things. No matter how much I browse the net, how much I read about new things out there and subscribe to news feeds, I am still behind. How can we keep up? Can you imagine the rest of the general public whose knowledge to technology is limited? How can the world keep up with the time that us humans created! We created this fast paced time and it is quickly changing us and making us feel empty and worthless if we are not part of it.
What more will us humans contribute to the world? How much potential do our brains really have? When will we finally master creating an intelligence that is smarter than us? Will we reach that level? How bad will it be?
Just thinking of the future, 20 years from now is scary. As a person who is born in the 80’s and have witnessed the most incredible technological changes ever in the history of humanity, living another 20 years and seeing a new generation of technology is quite scary. I am scared of the future because I know when things are at their highest peek, it will inevitably fall and taking everyone else with it.
Just think about it for a bit. How much faster can we REALLY go?

LOL @ learning about technology via word of mouth
I personally do not wanna think 20 years in advance - our time is sad enough & full of crap, it’s scary- you still remember technology from the early or late 80s
I only remember Sakher o nintendos
I remember everything.. since I was 4 years old we had Attari and sakhr and all the goodies!!
I remember as far back as 2 years of age! My first memory is throwing a temper tantrum because I didn’t want my thick hair brushed! My hair was very long and in tangles most of the time. LOL! When you are a child two months seems like ages but when you are an adult two months flies by. The reason is when you are a child everything is a new experience pretty much so you remember it more but when you are an adult everything seems like old hat. You need to get new experiences so time doesn’t seem like it is racing by. As for technology, I have given up trying to keep up besides not all new technology is good or useful for everyone. You have to be discerning in what you read and learn. That is the only way you can prevent information overload.
