In past periods and up until the present period humans have innovated and brought new technology forward, and we can expect this to continue into future periods at alarming rates. Does this mean that Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity Theory is correct? Well, it very well could be if proper funding continues into new technology venues as it has for the last couple of decades.

One advanced thinker on the future of virtual reality urban environments looks back on previous technologies, and forward to the present and notes the irony in the conventional opinion that machines and computers would give us more leisure time and make our lives simpler. After all, he observes as you might also that many in our society seem to be “busier and more occupied as they might be years back. . .probably more. . .”

Think about it, he is right isn’t he? Yes, I concur, it is ironic isn’t it? And yet, I can see where in the future computers and technology might indeed make our lives simpler with more leisure in the future, and that’s probably what others thought observing the future from their present and our (now) past.

In some ways, the agricultural industry in industrialized nations did see some changes and that did provide more free time, however did those farmers use that time for leisure or to make and create more technology, or perhaps put their time in productivity towards other pursuits? If you will recall, as more mechanism in the US came into play, many families had fewer offspring or the offspring moved away from the family unit as they were not all needed for the farming.

Now then, if we continue on this path of rapid creation of technology, we are going to have to design software that prevents it from ruling our lives, so that these high-tech tools we create actually do what they were intended to do. Can we design such software to help humans save themselves and help us balance our lives without losing them? Think on this.
