‘The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.’ This is what I really believe in but if I were to predict a day about 8 years into future, taking my flamboyant views into account, I would foretell it this way.
It’s 5:30 in the morning and I finally found my alarm clock hiding under the study table, the most sought place by it to help me get out of the bed. Next, my washroom mirror- an architectural display glass gave me a glimpse of the world’s happenings and obviously my day’s schedule. Then my shower detected my dry scalp and recommended me to go for an apt shampoo. I straightaway headed for the kitchen and cooked myself breakfast according to what the body scanner told my nutrition requirement was. Although, I have my

On reaching my apartment, I got an immediate conference lined up with a client in New Jersey to check and inspect their products which required my mandatory presence and so I took the tube train – an innovation which reduces miles of distance to just a few minutes’ journey. Certainly these inventions have saved time manifolds.
So finally I got home and was immediately scanned as stressed by the scanner which suggested me to go for some yoga exercise, although exhausted but I still make it a point to follow these advices and adhere to them strictly so as to avoid any kind of ailment. I finished them and after an hour made a video call to my parents. It is good to be linked to your roots no matter how successful a person becomes. After catching up with all my household chores I finally went to the bed wondering about what all the science and engineering has made possible today is because of the research based knowledge and experience that we have gained by our teachers at every level of the education system and my parents who have been a constant source of motivation all these times. Thinking all this I fell asleep in a perfect setting of the bedroom according to my requirements.
The life today is no less than that of any sci-fi movie which was only an imagination for a few. But as it is rightly said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’- this is the sole reason that the life in 2017 is far different than that in 1990 and these
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”, these are the quotes of the famous German physicist Albert Einstein in relation to how the world has become overly reliant on technology. As a result, we have taken nature for granted while also ignoring the adverse effects of technology. The making of steam engine, the usage of fossil fuel and the creation of chlorofluorocarbon are all technologies which has benefited us greatly and are continuing to do so, but like everything on this earth there are always negatives to counter the positives This is the balance that we must find between nature and humans.
Today I did my best. I let go of the rest. I am surrounded by peace from within and without. I am comforted by it. Sleep comes easily to me. Tomorrow I will wake rested and ready for a new day.
I was still drowsing, but I was awake. I got my clothes on and then went to get my phone and I remembered that I did not charge it. I found my phone on the charger and I said in my head “Thank you, dad.” My mom, my sister and I quickly got in the car so we could go to Rockford to get my cousin, Melissa. We stopped at her house and she came with us ready to go to Six Flags.
I partially agree with Pangloss’s statement because we never know what the future holds for us and we can never predict our fate therefor what happens to you today (now) or what you have is the best you can get or have in your live. For example, considering
During my three-day food intake I learned about myself. There are many benefits of good nutrition. ”Medical Online” states “besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its system to function optimally for a lifetime.” A healthy diet promotes good sleep, gives the body what it needs to stay healthy, and provides energy. According to “Mealtime Memo” Good nutrition means getting the calories that we need for energy and the nutrients we need for proper growth. I’m learning that variety, balance, and moderation are the key to healthy nutrition. As I am learning what I should and should not eat I will like you to invite you to take a look at my food intake. This essay will converse about my
It is amazing how far this world has come in the world of technology. From the telephone, to the dishwasher, to the satellite, many inventions have been created to ease people’s daily lives. In The Andromeda Strain, Michael Crichton gives the audience an insightful view into the ways that humans try to solve problems through science and technological advancements. However, when people interfere, the consequences may lead to bigger problems and even the destruction of humanity. Crichton gives the audience a look into his perspective as a student of human nature during the times of the “race to space” on how dangerous human interference can be and how allowing nature to take its
Food is the most tedious task of the day, and it often occupies your mind at all times, especially in your sleep. Waking up in the dark, cold corner of Herman Ave, I find myself lying down under a tree confused by my surroundings. In a panic, my feet jump to touch the ground trying to search for a familiar sight. Once all the memories from the night before immerge, I recall not eating for the past two days and that has brought short -term memory loss every time I awake. I feel my body eating itself from the inside, and I muster the strength to walk to the corner of a 711 gas station to beg for change. Dozens of people walk pass me and give me a smug face and stare at me as if I were a foreign animal in a cage—out on display for their amusement. Two hours pass before I collect enough money to purchase a ninety-nine cent doughnut. After satisfying my hunger, I go to my favorite location where I search for food—a subway shop on Vasco Road. Thinking back to two hours ago, I wondered why I didn’t initially come to this location instead of showcasing myself at 711; my brain must have lacked oxygen. The walk from 711 to Subway is minimal; it took (takes) me one minute to arrive. I look inside the sandwich shop to reassure myself that there is only one employee working, and I dash to
I believe that science fiction is definitely providing cautionary tales of our dependence on technology. We can see examples of this in feed in the way it portrays dependence on technology in our society. In the future, our Reliance on technology could lead us to a society much like “Feed’s”.
Throughout this semester our literary material dealt with themes of technology, modernization, the imponderable bloom, human nature, and truth to name a few of the most overarching. Each text has woven an impression of the possible near future for humanity if the patterns we are creating continue at an exponential rate. Patterns such as consumerism, neglecting unpleasurable emotions, using drugs, and controlling the environment for our short term benefits will write an unsavory and inevitable future. Science Fiction often reflects on society by exaggerating their negative characteristics and advancements to seem far-out, but often it is ironic how close many aspects of the fiction are a direct reflection of the present condition. Even now, the possibilities of utopias and dystopias forming are not so out of reach. The ability of our culture to control an entire population with a self-satisfied culture of vices outfitted with technology is less and less science fiction as the years pass.
In a genre whose name ostensibly welcomes innovation—science fiction—resistance towards technology may initially seem counterintuitive. This, however, is where it is essential to delve into the annals of history. Writers, after all, write what they know. In an 1948 essay, George Orwell wrote, “When you are on a sinking ship, your thoughts will be about sinking
My target area began as a focus on eating more in general. The food available at PSP was not always ideal, many times the food was either unhealthy or there simply weren’t enough options that I enjoyed. As a result, I noticed that my weight began to significantly decline and I desperately wanted to allay this problem. After completing my log sheets over three weeks, I came to the realization that the bulk of my missed meals came in the morning. I would sleep until eight to make sure that I received adequate sleep, however, I realized that in doing this; I was forgoing breakfast which was negatively affecting my health and my performance at Cornell. In fact, “research involving adults and children has indicated that breakfast might enhance memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning, creativity, learning, and verbal abilities” (Consumer Reports). No matter a person’s age, breakfast is a vital part of their life.
With an ever-changing world, it is important to predict the future of healthcare. With the advancements in technology, cost and improving patients safety is healthcare’s main concern. This paper analyzes the benefits and risks of paper vs. electronic vs. RFID charting. While paper charting in facilities are becoming obsolete, the alternatives still pose a risk for the provider and patient.
While many people are focused on the present, living in the moment, and doing what’s best for them right now, it is important to think about the influence it has on others. The scientific and technological advances made now will have a great effect on how lives are lived in the
The world that we live in is constantly changing. There are numerous inventions and new
Since the beginning of time, the human population has strived to live simpler lives. We have spent generations, creating innovations within technology to ensure our lives would always be more simplistic than those who lived centuries before us. People now have the ability to update their Facebook status’, map the human genome to target strands of DNA that can be disastrous to one’s health, send out amber alerts nationwide, and create plants that are resistant to pesticides. Many fields, such as medicine, law enforcement, and entertainment have benefited greatly from advancements in technology which has inevitably changed the way society operates. However, with the abundance of technology available, society has developed an unhealthy relationship where we now rely on technology too heavily. Technology has rendered our minds incapable of the ability to play, communicate, and live our lives in the moment, despite its positive additions to our society.
