Ideas into reality


What is the future to come of technology in the world, are we already aware of what is to look forward to through cartoons and futuristic movies. New ideas are what interest us from Superman and wishing you can fly to Star Trek and hoping to be alive when it happens. Is the production of film going to be the production on our life?
The first kind of futuristic cartoon for everyone was The Jetsons and the robot maid, the hover cars, plastic clothes, floating buildings. What's wrong with being on the ground, why should we float, is there exercise or just some sort of fat suction every time you gain a pound. There are realistic futures and just pure fantasies. This was set in 2062 so how far are we from this future?

It's always good to write a story not so far from your won experience or even that it draws from someone else's, but the imagination makes great movies. With the millions of movies about which one is in the right path; I think its going to be Pixar’s cartoon Wall-E. This is one of my favourite movies in the products and the fact that no one really speaks for the most part of the movie but this story line is what I feel if we carry on making rubbish the world will have to end and humans will have to leave to repair it. I think we just going be fat and live one with the sofa.
  
The worst out come of the future besides aliens and the world blowing up is if our body reproduction organs decides to fail, this was the idea for film Children of Men. The future of even nature stopping and life in Britain being so terrible is the mad fait that we could be waiting for.

The most current film for the future that I recently watched was Limitless and the clear pill that makes a human access 100% of the brain, this future is probably already here. 

All of these movies I have chosen are the destructive I feel that we destroy Earth because of all the materials being used the world has to end. The more materials to make this spaceship and creating piles of garage will destroy us and seems more realistic than Fifth Element.


         futureforall is the expected future to come for many things to come.

open source...freebies?

As a journalist you have to get your source from somewhere and whichever one is open, free and easiest to get with the same credibility is the one more expensive, round the world trip to Austria and back is not the one we go for. Many people like to count the pennies but they seem to make an exception with technology. It’s about the name of the label. 

 “You can’t have Reebok trainers; you have to have the Air Max 90 Nike, if you don’t your just not cool”. It is all a branding scheme and a whirlpool of money that just becomes a vortex of electricity. This was Windows Bill Gates might invention and now its Apple Steve Jobs millennium invention, that has created a power brand and a whole lot of money. The way he gets money is that the source has to come from Apple otherwise the device just doesn’t accept it; making the customer buy just Apple products. Like the iPod it only recognising one computer otherwise you have to delete everything if you want to change PC’s. That why he created the Apple store

Closed source is what it is and even to make applications (apps) the maker has a yearly sub fee for even developing it. Unlike the Android which is cheaper, it is free to distribute, it can be found on any website. Many people think like me, which means there are more users, but more likely to have more dodgy stuff and bad quality apps which means it could carry viruses. But who really wants to pay? I remember when MSN messenger was at its height of communication and they decided they wanted to make their members pay to use MSN. The new open source was Myspace and MSN had a big drought ‘whether it was a rumour or not’.
“As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software. Hardware must be paid for, but software is something to share. Who cares if the people who worked on it get paid?”
                                                                                Bill Gates, 1976
(Click the link above and how Windows has become so big through the internet, from 1976 to 2011)

This was a letter to all the hobbyists but it was a rhetorical question that answer wanted to be ‘yes’. It could be the hackers but it’s the free in freedom that makes it for everyone. This could mean that we are all hackers, everyone that can access the internet. But truly without the internet is there an open source?
Just the knowledge that they will always be a brand on top, but whether people can get the information closed or open they will always get it. open sources are like simply talking to people,  instead of buying the book go to the library, whether getting around getting it from a judge or a witness or iTunes or Mp3 converter. Up to the person and how much they can take off the closed source.

surveillance

Who is regulating all this information?
Being watched and scoped in the 21st century has become normal, seeing people and watching them. It is all a conspiracy; a big fat Prison Break storyline with a messed up reason and big deeper meanings. The collection of data from online pop-ups to your passport is a general way for the government to find out who you are; making it only accessible through them to enter anywhere.
RFID tags is an identity card is used so you can access into places. Most work places and institutions have these for their staff or students. Monitoring where they are going but there are better reason than just getting into the library!
Transport for London (TFL) has devised the oyster card from 2006 and has developed the forms and identity of those that own one, but why! I thought it was just a device that holds money and travel cards: hear my conspiracy!
 The bus isn’t £2 for any reason; they want you to get an oyster card; just because it’s cheaper? If you think about it they cut the prices in half so that they can get your name, address, age, race, number, nationality, normal routes and journeys on one little card. The Government is a sly conspiracy, that why I hate ticket booths! I have told them to put money on, and they want to check my history, but why, you’re just TFL Officers! Oyster is in your hand.
NI number is your identification card, without this you can't get around as an adult in Britain.  Without your passport you can’t get out, without your Pin numbers you can’t get money, without your Clubcard you can’t get a discount etc. 

The visuals RFID are just the Big Brother camera and even in 1948 the author of the book 1984 got the future correct in his book about the big camera in the sky. But if it only for our safety, everyone isn’t safe because within your home someone is watching you.Even through nanny cams or baby monitor everyone signal can get transmitted somewhere else.

This song is from one of my favourite artist and she explains the surveillance in America through every lyric and how crazy being watched has become.

Globalization


The equation of globalization in the day and age has rapidly simplified, after Einstein’s great equation to just this easy formula:
Society + Geographical x Democratic-Culture =Technology?

Half the world has this equation and the other has no way to even understand.  Is that half missing out the joys of the equation?

The last tribe to be found was this February in the Amazon, they have never seen cameras, helicopters (up close) they were completed isolated from the world and was fine with it. Knowing their culture will change at these new discoverers as they become discovered themselves.  Most people believe technology comes with society, like New York Time Square where the millions of LED lights, bulbs, TV screen are there for everyone. Someone living in Long Island might not own anything about computers or big Tv screens and they have a good income.
Globalization isn’t so easily divided from 2nd to 3rd world countries but rather tribe, village, county, town and city. A fact is that everyone in the city owns technology or has good use of it. Poor parents might know that homework isn’t just about handwriting but typewriting but that city would have a library that has public use. Unlike a Kenyan village that might have one telephone or mobile between 50 people and a hospital 4 hours away; even simple globalisation of health is divided by technology.  These people would be 10 years behind technology if they don’t steal it from a tourist!

The majorly about who is in power and how they decided how to use their power. Example African country Sudan has political issues and instead of giving children education or medicine for diseases they give them guns. It could be the government faults, not saying technology is the answer but you can’t just throw a rabbit a bone; give the country what they need first. The UK has the power and the population has the right because of tax to ask more from the government.
Greece has lost its touch as coliseums become clubs and togas are just white cloths. I feel because of technology the who world is becoming western, notice that those who have no contact like the Amazonian tribe are true to their culture, rather to China who is still dying to try hold on to their great culture. It has all been washed down slowly as the growth of tech continues.
  Technology commences growth and as it grows, it is all about who has what! (High School all over) “You can’t have Reebok trainers you have to have the Air Max 90 Nike, if you don’t your just not cool”. It is all a branding scheme and a whirlpool of money that just becomes a vortex of electricity.

Hi-tech guys went out camping and packed over dinners.
Guy 1: We don’t really need a stove; give me gas pump and a lighter.
Guy 2: No, give me gamma rays in a box....                                                    
Guy 1: That’s the microwave, silly.
Guy 3: We might as well make a time machine and go back to the ice age and watch what they did, we could never make fire come out of wood!

Because of globalization the simplest things for people have now got complicated without the magic button.
