Smart is taking the planet by storm; I mean why not?!
- Electrical vehicles promise less carbon footprint, hence cleaner environment, a goal we are all aiming for, as the climate gets warmer and seasons become disrupted.
- Integrated digital healthcare systems to help us track you heart rates and alarm us when we need medical attention. Not only that! They book the appointment for us.
- Digital travel guides in a world where we want to mingle less as we move more towards social individualism.
- Digital sports trainers, that would be available at our sole convenience.
- Self-driven vehicles for when we want to avoid the chits and the chats of a taxi driver
- Smart meters that would finally let us know who is consuming what in our households and help us deescalate the rising bills.
Everything digital promises world economies to grow and thrive more sustainably with less expense on us and harm to nature.
I mean why not grow fond of SMART?! I know I did, with proper exposure and research SMART is the only way to go for a better future. My obsession even expanded with all digital from crypto to NFTs and now Meta!
I mean, does this digital world know any limits?
My brother used to collect physical stamps in the 80s and sports collector cards in the 90s, keep them in a special album where they eventually wore out and lacked good exposure. Now, my dear brother and all collectors of any form of art, you can collect NFTs. NFTs don’t wear out, they are always exposed in the new digital world, cannot be forged, and sell for millions of dollars or bitcoins and this is only one of the new phenomena of digital revolution.
Facebook is rebranding to Meta and moving humanity to another dimension, a dimension where we can be wherever we want to be and with whoever we want to be with from the comfort of our home. We can even visualize our future selves better if we want to, helps us become what we aim for faster with consistent and frequent visualization a dream is more achievable, quoting Yo Pal Hal from The Miracle Morning. (If the exercise is paired few other habits)
But Gosh!
Should you here the side human gossip I heard about Meta, one of my colleagues told me he is worried he will walk into his son involving in a physical fight or love all alone in his room! Creeped me out! Or did it not?! I will leave this up to you to decide as it is relative and variable!
Nike is releasing its first Metaverse collection, an interchangeable line of digital fashion where we can own shoes or clothes for the Meta world, and people (who wish to) can even shout out their status and their wealth in the Meta dimension!
Can you imagine! I can… I can! Can you!
If you cannot, just go to your favorite social platform and follow pages related to NFTs and Meta, you’d be mind blown by how close to reality these possibilities are, and you will enjoy it!
We should not be intimidated but thirsty, thirsty for more, more and more.
But if you can notice a certain pattern, whatever applies to the real world is being replicated to the digital world now, from social stratification, to commerce to work environments. As much as this is good to be true, wouldn’t it be better if move away from this harsh reality and redraw a better world in this new digital dimension?
I mean norms and values can be re-evaluated, re-assessed and re-written to try and create the “utopia” we all read about in Plato’s philosophy, the perfect world where all is right and beautiful and there is no hate, no crime and no poverty.
We are capable to do so now!
Maybe if we want a better world, we need to focus on what these giants are doing in the digital world and set our pace as we are the users and eventual target of all innovations.
Digital is growing a new dimension for us to enjoy, and we can govern it with our demands so it is a good idea to make them clear and fair! I hope we realize it fast enough to get the opportunity to set the pace for a better world now and embrace tomorrow…
Will we?
