The first is agricultural revolution. About
12,000 years ago our ancestors began to make plants to eat them, instead of
hunting. It made possible for a lot of people to survive without hunger.
The second is industrial revolution from
1750 to 1850. People invented many innovative tools with steam power. They also
created the rule of the law, transportation systems, and capitalism. The modern
civilization has developed in this era.
And the third revolution is information
revolution that is now going on. We can use telegraph, fax, mobile phone, and
internet. I can write this entry and publish it for all over the world via
Google!
So what is the next revolution?
It is very difficult to predict. I have
only vague image in it.
I think it is the TIME.
Time shifting is already common. Border of
nation is lowered. The world is narrowing. In several jobs adapted age become
extremely younger. Early retirement has been a trend in new-riches. But human
lifespan is expanding. What do you do in the end stage of life?
In the next era, definition of time will be
changed.
Common sense in elder people is no longer
useful. The world is going to asymmetric. Each persons are to live their own
lives alone. Value of the time will be various. Perhaps eternal life or
reincarnation would be available.
Everything is changing.
Besides, what is the thing not to be
changed?
