TRUE SEEKER

Hello world,

It's 10.43 PM, and I almost forgot I have this 30 day challenge until I watch BBC knowledge. It's "speed" serial, but today's topic is not about the car or other yet about the future technology. Today's theme of "Speed" is snatching my attention to hold the channel for a while (before i turn it into HBO) moreover when they show some interview with futurologist.

What? a futurologist?

I almost disappointed with myself to figure out that it was the first time I've ever heard a profession called futurologist (Is it only me?). Then I go to the right place to ask whatever you want to ask. Then here comes the explanation:

"Futurists or futurologists are scientists and social scientists whose speciality is to attempt systematically to predict the future, whether that of human society in particular or of life on earth in general."

source : the almighty wikipedia

The first thing crossing my mind is wondering how brilliant they are to make such a future prediction, I mean, they are nearly God. But, in fact, they're not that miraculous.

"The terms most commonly refer to authors, consultants, organizational leaders and others who engage in interdisciplinary and systems thinking to advise private and public organizations on such matters as diverse global trends, plausible scenarios, emerging market opportunities and risk management."

So to be the futurist or futurologist you don't have to do such a ridiculous thing as the psychic did, haha, again, the science and technology always win.

To be pointed out in this story is not about the futurist itself, yet about the discussion of the future technology impact to the human kind around the world.

Question to be answered: "We now live in such an advance technology which help us to do everything in a minute, connect one person in one city to another in a second, make the world as in our hands, but, why do we sleep less than the people who live 1000 years ago whereabouts there's no such thing called technology. Actually, we supposed to be simplified aren't we?"

The answer (by the futurist) is: "We're end up at one conclusion that the human kind (nowadays) are the true seeker. Thus, as they get the answer and the result for something, they'll search for another, then the cycle will go again and again until they get satisfied (which is never).

So that is  the answer why you guys (and me) still sit in front of computer at this time (where you suppose to be on bed). Because, we are the true seeker.
