What’s a piece of technology you’re convinced will exist in 20 years?

First of all, I am not a fan of the overuse of technology. Using technology in moderation is okay to make our lives more comfortable. But using too much makes us slaves to technology. The high rise in health issues is the result of this overuse.

In the earlier days of our parents and especially grandparents, there was less technology and more human work. People were healthy and living life till 100 easily. Now, with all medical advancements and all kinds of knowledge, diets, and facilities available, the average life span has reduced to 70 in India and 80 in the USA.

Yes, we have personalized diet plans available, the best machines in Gyms, great fitness clubs, and various effective ways to improve health: Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, Calisthenics, Tai Chi, Zumba, and so on. But when we are glued to our smartphones for most of the day watching reels, we have Alexa and Google assistants to do the basic work for us, like turning on the light or turning off the fan. We want driverless cars so that we can sit in the car, probably watching reels, rather than improving our hand-eye coordination.

But the problem is not with the technology itself but with the consumers, who are us. And there is no turning back. It will even get worse with time. To remain sane, we should do whatever we can ourselves and use technology as little as possible. Now, with the proliferation of online food delivery services, grocery delivery services, and e-commerce, we are just 1 click away from getting what we want without moving a muscle. Isn’t it scary?

That said, I am convinced that flying cars will exist in 20 years. I always believe that what we can think, we can create. Whatever it is, that’s the power of the human mind. I pray that we don’t destroy ourselves.
