I was just brain storming for the 2020 brief (for those that aren't on my course, in quick terms we have been given an assignment to look into the future "2020" and basically predict a piece of technology), new technology is pretty much easier convenience. We are turning into a lazy world, take the Wii, it has realistic sports games. The Xbox 360 has great online gaming. These are making it so we don't have to leave the house to have fun with friends, whats next "Friday Night" where you get drunk and play a game...or do people already do this. Home cinema! the cinema is a dying breed because people have better technology at home, with their wide screen HD T.V, surround sound and BluRay player. BUT the worst of all is the Internet, don't get me wrong I'm a huge net fan. Online shopping...MSN... even Casino's...the Internet offers pretty much anything and everything so that you don't have to go out of the house. I can't actually think of a reason why i would have to leave the house! There is so much more than what I've mentioned.
This is only today's technology. 2020 is a bit close, but imagine the year 2120! In my previous blog i had the idea of a clean up robot, this isn't something that might happen it is something that will happen. I get awfully scarred when i think of the world we live in. We are losing so much value, I think I will take it in my stride to be a designer to make the world something beautiful, not a bloody Sony Rolly with a vacuum attached to it, but something to capture what we have around us. I don't want to bring up my children in a world where going to the cinema, watching a live band, having some fun in a park is a thing of the past.
More than likely we won't make it to the year 2120 anyway with idiots like Bush running things, will we even make it to 2010...so I don't have anything to worry about.
I think I will continue this in my sketch book, where my brain can run wild on paper rather than this new "blogging" fandangil
p.s. i do think some new technology is good, by using MSN i can talk to my friends in finland for the price of my broadband. Photoshop makes me look like a good artist. Web designing made me some money. Making films is much easy and there is some other stuff.
