The future of Digitization

Whether we like it or not, the digitization of our planet will continue. In the old days, we called it automation and robotics. It then developed into computers, personal organisers, smart phones.

Why should "digitization" continue when we can just choose to go back to the old days of pen and paper?.  Those who have that view, have completely missed out on the script of life. The key point is the evolution of humanity has been based upon increased order from the chaos that mankind evolved from. The planet started out as a large rock mass with holes and crevices within which water flowed (distinguishing solids from liquids was a matter of "temperate" balance). It eventually settled into a mass of those rocks and softer land tissue combining to form land, much of it soft tissue that enabled the growth of plants, through it's favourable chemical makeup to the harder more solid rocky surfaces that mainly peaked into the air and dominated the higher grounds.

Following this (vastly over-?)simplified version of the earths evolution, and without further digression, it is clear that the evolving animal of mankind wanted a more ordered environment in which they could function at a much more comfortable level, and create the ideal natural levels of order from which they could excel in further advancing this cause. Many technological developments could then be attributed to this state, and these developments give us the impetus to further investigate the reason for our existence, or to further evolve and see where it takes us?

The key basis of our development is to establish the "reason" for our existence, and this should be easy to establish from a simple rational model of comparing ourselves to the other animals that we share our planet with. Given that we see ourselves as "higher, and more evolved" beings, than the rest of animal life, we therefore assume that we set the agenda on how our planet continues to evolve.

This is where our supremacy as an animal race ends, as it's based on many highly misguided assumptions and premises that may not hold true. For example, it appears that we are the only mammals that have evolved into developing systems of automation, machines etc., and achieved levels of communications that have moved us way beyond other animal life in terms of our evolution. Yet we also possess the greatest threat to the security and stability of mammals sharing the earth with their fellow creatures, as well as all others equally deserving of a continued existence on this planet as a result of their endeavours to survive. The reasons for all of this is really quite simple when properly evaluated, and that is because we've effectively taken control of the destiny of a lot of what goes on on our planet as a species, yet we lack the fundamental abilities to share our planet in terms of habitat management. i.e. Developing a system of habitat sharing our planet with all other homo-sapiens that can allow us the space to further develop as a unitary species.

On this, the 100th year since the beginning of the Great War (World War 1), it's time to reflect (AND LEARN) from what happened:

Over the last number of years, we've often read / heard statements such as:

• "Our soldiers went to war and bravely battled and died to save our country"

• "We should remember those that died during the war, so we could be free,  as those brave men fought, and died for our freedom"

Well, lets accept that there were so many unfortunate deaths, but to cut to the chase, What exactly did they save our country from?, and what freedoms do we have as a result of their deaths?. Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated, and possibly, hotly debated.

We need to redefine our value system in a global context,.. then just let that boat sail out from the shore....

If you were to extrapolate the current human race forward in terms of population growth while, at the same time, achieving a better quality of life for all, the conditions to create this path are hardly rocket science!  :)

Accept the status of "genius" if that's your path

Writing your thoughts can be very powerful: "I am a genius" is awesome if you write it, internalise it, and truly believe it, and if that is the case, who can dispute it?. After all geniuses can forget which door they came in!!

True Inner interpretations of what you are, who you are and what you represent....

I believe that many of our great people did NOT know the in-depth answer to these questions, and therefore many of them lived a much lesser fulfilling life than they might otherwise have, or than many of us care to realize

How to measure different types of matter (with slide-rule accuracy)

The concept of MATTER is interesting. What is even more interesting is the co-incidental name given to matter, as I would question whether matter really matters?.

Take the shortest distance between two points, from a physics point-of-view: This occurs (in a measurable way) at some atomic level, when in fact at a gigantic level where the universe is possibly part of another sub-atomic world, you couldn't get the point of a needle between the sun and the earth!!.. Hence, the measurement systems we take as absolute, are in fact relative..  Relative to the tolerances accepted between the two "points" and distance system in between being measured!..  "Food for thought this Christmas"

How about paying for your shopping on a monthly basis (on your loyalty card)?

The economic system we're living in has, over the last number of years, evolved from being a "pay as you go"  (fixed one off payments) society to becoming a "period-pay" (regular fixed monthly payments) society.  An example is the phone systems we use, where we (largely) moved from landlines to mobile phones, where we now commonly pay a fixed monthly fee, regardless of how much we use (based, of course, on a fair usage policy). In the old days, you paid a small monthly fee, and your final fee was based on your usage.
Now it's becoming more and more based on a monthly model.

Hence I foresee this trend continuing into the future, whereby this will extend to other business models. e.g. On average you might pay €40-50/day for your daily shop, where Supermarkets might adopt a system whereby you use a loyalty card to shop each day for free, but you pay up front a fee of (say) €300/week. These models are very attractive for suppliers, as they provide a guaranteed monthly income, making revenues much easier to predict into the future. Hence I expect this fixed periodic payment model will become the norm for society in the future across a range of business offerings.
