Bright Future


The future has always been bleak. When I graduated as an Engineer 36 years ago it was a dark world I had entered into. Jobless people, depleted resources, limited access were bothering the nation. “It would be very difficult to manage this menacing population’’ people said. It was quite depressing and the future had really no hopes. My nerves broke down very frequently.
36 years later the problems are not very different. But my nerves get seldom broken down. There is hope everywhere and the planet has evolved better.
Radio first changed to Television, Audio cassettes to CD, Phone to mobile, typewriters to computers, warfare to terrorism, cafes to internet cafes, trousers to jeans. The poor class has turned middle class, wheat is sold at the same price in rationing as 36 years before. The world became a better place to live in.
Since then things have further evolved. Televisions have turned LED’s, CD have become obsolete and music systems rare (everything is available on www free), computers have become household and supercomputers have replaced them (hence internet cafes have dwindled and wi fi has taken over), jeans were torn in between and there is so much scope to improve here. The world has become a still better place.
And I see the future. LED’s becoming 3D, printers churning out 3D houses, cities under water and skyscrapers taking shape as fast as ever (in fact I am being part of one). The cosmos will become still better.
What have we to lose? Dont get bothered! Live like a free bird!!
