Future Through Multiple Lens

The human race has only gotten better with time and it is important to not over expect from technology alone

- Sangram Aglave

IS THE FUTURE OF THE FUTURE A DREAM or a definite certainty? Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said: “You have to dream before your dream comes true.” All the tech revolution around us is a result of human vision and dreams. Like dreams, predictions can either alert or drive innovators. In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, a soothsayer alerts Julius Caesar: “Beware of the Ides of March or you will die”. It would be unfair to look at the future with only one or the other lens. Only when we rise above the ebb and flow of time and perform a temporal assessment would we realise that the human society has shown consistent and secular improvement across tens of thousands of centuries. We have only gotten better with time!

The future of the future means over a long period of time. What and how things would change? What are the necessary conditions for change? Over a long period of time, it is never the life of a individual but the perpetuity of humanity that matters. Let us look at some of the glacial movements that would take place in following spheres over a long period of time.
