The very idea that we would be at exactly this time and place in our technology would have been impossible to fathom only five years before. Gaming, advances in digital communications and our interpersonal relationships have been so affected so quickly, the rate we change now is startling. From our business to our sex lives we see changes every day and whether they make us better is anybody’s guess.
What we do know though is that we have no idea of the changes coming.
As far as our interactions with one another, most likely we will continue to grow closer as a people and at the same time continue to isolate ourselves from one another. There will be ever more opportunities for masturbating contact, and maybe even a backlash among people who want to date more, faster, hook-up, mate quicker, but there will be just as many lovers. loving each other only on-line or avoiding real contact for on-line moments of intimacy. And we’ll keep it all as portable as we seem to be.
Real services and products will see a decline as we do for ourselves with the abilities afforded us and as we become ever more jaded to what we can do ourselves when it comes to products and services. The companies that create will need to create a better bread box right along with a more powerful vibrator, escorts are going to have to present something worth leaving the house for and porn companies are going to have to market their dirty movies-and make a better dirty movie at that-for people who want to see them, people who will most likely be downloading for free well into the future.
Mainly though our leisure time will probably increase and we will want ever more diversions to fill it. We might simply take to one another and see a rise in sex and in turn baby-making but then again we might stick deep in our cocoons and enjoy even more a technology that allows us to be alone, quiet and free of sticky relationships and human interactions. There is no predicting really how sad and reclusive we might become in the future and how much we might not care we are.
As we sit masturbating the future is upon us.
