The Future


One thing that I keep on listen is"We have no idea how world will look after 5 years? Things are messy and ... Things are unpredictable and uncertain like they have been never before."
What is the reason? Why... why,when the innovation is going at the fastest rate then ever in the entire human history , the future is so unpredictable. Why??
Is it because we are stunned by this unexpected growth in Information Technology?
Or is it because the Artificial Intelligence didn't achieved the anticipated growth and in future the dream of bots serving human doesn't seems to be achieved?
Or you agree with me that finally Facebook has made us dumb?
...
I don't think anyone of them can be solely responsible for it.
Well, does anyone else also think that we are running out of ideas to develop our future.
In the last 200 year's development in technology, we have fulfilled a large majority of dreams of the human race. We have gone to moon, we can fly and we have achieved a much higher standard of life. Recent development in computing and social networking have made it possible to connect to society even when they are far away, download music, share and watch videos.
And the ideas like living on moon, finding ET life or AI seems infeasible. And if we look at the graph showing development of such things(AI) in past few, we can't expect much development in the coming time.Though in next few years, we can expect a computer has computation several times the human mind, but I don't think that it would be capable of (leave it, it won't ever come close to) natural language processing.

So what is that which makes future unpredictable?
It is our lack of vision. Lack Of Vision About FUTURE. It's like as if we don't have plans for tomorrow. And it could be scary idea especially when we are growing so fast.
So, are we going to remember this 21st century as the time when lost the pace unexpectedly due to lack of ideas which could motivate human, and finally decided to improve what we have achieved rather than creating something new.

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

So I think it won't be wrong to conclude that most of progress in near future will be more focused towards improvement what we have achieved today. And new stuff like an flying machine or the video games won't be seen very often.

Feel free to express your opinions.

Caste System -A Different Angle



Caste System: -A system of division of people based on their birth in a particular family. An ancient system prevalent mainly in South Asia, based only on writing of ancient of religious books, without much understanding of human psychology or any science behind it, which still rules the rural India and decides the occupation, fate and social status of an individual, even 60 years after the constitution guaranteed "Right TO Equality" to all its citizens.

There is no universally accepted explanation on the origin of caste system. Some believe that people belonging to lower classes were the native inhabitants in India and they were conquered by Brahman invaders.But Genetic Analysis were not able to find any appreciable difference in the genes. Another more acceptable theory, which is based on social division of people of people of same race according to occupation. With time (and don't forget to add the Indian nepotism) this division of people based on occupation gave birth to caste system, a social evil which associates a person's occupation with his/her birth.

Now, this caste system, that exists in our society, is a good example to what happens when things that can go wrong does go wrong.
For a few moment, if you could assume that such social configuration never existed, then I would like to reincarnate this social configuration and would like to show you how it can be useful and meaningful in 21st century.
Ok... .Lets start with a direct relation between human learning and development. And assuming that throughout the entire human history and in the coming future also parents will remain the major contributor in child learning. So what a child becomes in future will mainly dependent on what he has learned he has learned in his parental care and its surrounding social environment, rather than what lies in his/her genes. The direction will be given by surrounding environment. There can be two types of environments around a child. One is an unbiased environment which gives a child full opportunity to choose and grow in any direction (this we are trying to create when we talk about a cast free society). And other one is based on a structure based similar to old system, which attempts to create specialized environment, which directs a children in one directions. Every system has in advantages and disadvantages. A society based on first system will promotion of talent without any biased attitude towards anyone, better with ethics and human equality. But my opinion is that the second system is not as bad as it may appear. If you compare the overall output, first system will not be a match for the second one. The reason is quite simple. Second system is a kind of hierarchical system in which each generation passes its experience from one generation. It promotes continuous transfer of information and forms a chain of human learning, so that the present generation doesn't depends only on current efforts but it is also endorsed with the efforts made by previous generations. This form of society, which learns from its mistakes and promotes its racial experience, could produce exceptional results. Kind of warrior or scientist this society can produce can never be achieved by any universities or any kind of training present in our system.
Well... who knows? Some day we understand why those having "The Royal Blood " were unmatched than ...

One day I was taking relaxing and taking rest (after lots of gaming as obvious) on my bed. A guy named Bill Gates came to me and saw me lazing in my bed and enjoying. He said, “Why don’t you go to the lab and do something...”
I replied-“What I will get after doing that?”
Bill Gates said-” You will learn the things and may be you will come up with something great”.
I said, “What is good in that?”
Bill replied,” I don’t know. May be you can sell it and earn some money.”
I replied, “That’s ok… but what after that?”
Bill” ahhh… If you keep on selling that, soon you will have lots of money and you can buy a lab for yourself.other will work for you”
Me,” and then what?”
Bill, “then you can sit back in your bed and relax.”
Me, “ Ohh bill… what do you think I’m doing right now?”
