7 Evolutionary Predictions

Posted by Michael Calienes in miscellany, social media

The further we tread through the warm 2.0 bouillabaisse, the more I consider our current modus operandi and human physicality to be incapable of accommodating the increasing demands of a new world order. If we are to survive, certain things will almost inevitably happen:

  1. Time: The 24-hour clock will become a 28- or 30-hour clock. 24 hours is an already-insufficient amount of time to get everything done, and get sufficient rest to recharge.
  2. Business: Hours spent physically at work will be reduced by half, smarter companies will reduce that time by more, allowing personal time and work time to coexist and make satisfied, productive employees.
  3. Data: Server storage systems will come standard with every new home. Most likely, they’ll be buried in the yard to keep them from being eyesores.
  4. Brain: The cerebral cortex will grow more dense to accommodate the increasing need for information storage and recall.
  5. Fingers: Both the thumb and pinky finger will grow more muscularly complex to facilitate 2-finger typing on mobile device.
  6. Eyes: will move independently of each other so that we can tweet and drive safely.
  7. The End: Custom tombstones will be ready in 24-48 hours after tweeting your own epitaph. Some will be very very funny.

Thoughts? Predictions? Epitaphs?

Hope you’re well, and thanks for stopping in.

well said my friend! all except the tweeting while driving thing. you know things have changed when your kids start a non-profit org. called "KAMTS"=kids against moms tweeting & steering". my son is NOT the president in case you wondered.

8. We will all be walking around doing the "iPhone pinch and swipe" motion w/our fingers in thin air like in Minority Report.

BTW, have you seen Daily Joey's take on "the future of the workplace"?
