As technology continues to advance at an exponential rate, will we
someday find ourselves living in a "scientific dictatorship" where
virtually everything that we do, say and think is monitored and
controlled by technology? To many of you that may sound like a wild
assertion, but just keep reading. Our world is changing faster than
ever before, and scientists have some absolutely wild things planned for
our future. As you read this, they are feverishly developing edible
microchips, cutting edge biometric identity systems, and mind reading
computers. Many futurists envision a world where someday nearly all
humans are embedded with microchips and have thousands of tiny nanobots
living inside of them. The idea is that we can "take control of our own
evolution" and use technology to "improve" humanity. But very few of
those futurists address the potential downsides. The truth is that all
of this technology could one day be used by a totalitarian government to
establish a dystopian nightmare where nobody has any liberties and
freedoms whatsoever.
The world of tomorrow is not going to be anything like the world of
today, and most people have no idea how dramatically the world is
changing.
