The Future is Now
The people of the past believed that by the 21st century we would have hover-cars and teleportation, but at the current time, this is not the case. However, some of the technological advancements we have experienced in the last 16 years have surpassed even the wildest expectations of the time.
We have mobile computers that fit in our pockets which have
more power than all of NASA in 1969 at a much cheaper price. There is also the
burst of consumer grade VR technology in the recent years such as the Oculus
Rift and the PSVR. These pieces of amazing technology are far more innovative
and powerful than comprehensible at the time.
Yes, we may not yet have hover-cars, but we are ever closer
to self-driving cars which are becoming more and more affordable. Tesla,
Google, Ford, and other large companies are investing and developing new
technologies which could see the use of self-driving cars increase
exponentially in the next few decades. Self-driving cars are much safer as they
do not become fatigued, and can have a much faster reaction time than humans.
There have only been a few accidents with Google’s test run of self-driving
cars and these were all a result of other car users on the road.
So yes, we may not be as advanced as expected in some
respects, but we have a lot of new and exciting technology constantly being
developed which is unheard of. That is why I propose, the future is now.
