What Lies Ahead?

Are you afraid of your future?
Am I afraid?
I am not Afraid.... not afraid of facing the future... Events will happen if it will really happen. All of the happenings that will come in the future are intended to come and yet is inevitable to happen. It will continue to happen because we choose it to happen in our lives.
Our technology in the future lies in our hands. It will be in high demand and will be in the stage of SUPERB in application and standards in structures. In the coming days, we are riding in jet shoes. Wow! we would be flying! Such a very high standard technology. Robots may appear in a more humanoid structure and figure with more human behavior. Cars may fly, building will rotate, farmiung can be in skycraper and payments could be done by scanning the barcodes tattoed to our wrist. Wow!
BUT could we live a life in a world like that? Can you imagine your self riding in a plane where your destination is the galaxy? I think I can igmagine that... huh?
What I am afraid in the technology to come is the evolution of humas and robot into one figure. Human brain with robotic body... uhmmm, possible to happen but frightening, I guess. The question is are we still unique in the future? In the present, we are losing our identity by pretending to be someone else on the other side of the virtual world of mobile phones. And besides I believe that technology evolves as war evolves... Technology are best invented for weaponry in the wars to come...

Technology contribution as an IT Professional

The Idea of Household Innovation

If I would think my self as an IT professional, first I should be worthy of the title and the situation I am in. If in that case I am, I would introduced of a technology that would make human life mush better but not to the extent that they would become worthless and useless in terms of doing their chores. The technology would be a garbage scanner and segregator. This technology will help the environment because of its eco-friendly goal and applications.

The technology will improve the human’s way of garbage disposal. With this, people can just throw garbage in the machine and the machine will take charge of the rest. I thought of this idea because of the fact that even I, myself, do not think of segregating my own garbage at home. And another is we, Filipino are throwing our garbage without caring if the ones we threw can be recycled to a new material for another purpose or can be turn into organic fertilizers that we could use to fertilize plants, crops and trees which could lessen our expenses in buying those costly commercial fertilizers which for sure is composed of chemicals and preservatives.

The technology I think about is just in our home. Located in our backyards It is intended for household waste management to lessen the hustle of disposing sack of garbage to those timely garbage trucks and workers. The technology will be like an ordinary cabinet in your household but with control buttons as an option of task. There will be a pair of stainless bucket inside, one for the biodegradable and the other for the non-biodegradable waste. A person will throw its garbage by putting it inside and then the machine will automatically respond. The machine will speak as a response like a robot does.

First, it will scan what kind of object is inside and will identify if that object could be recycled or trashed automatically. If the object can be organically recyclable, then it will be automatically crushed down into powder like entity before being thrown into a bucket intended for biodegradable in the lower part of the machine. When the thrown object cannot be recycled like plastic, then it will grinded into small pieces before being thrown into another bucket for non-biodegradable.

The idea of making human life better but not to the extent that they would become worthless and useless in terms of doing their chores is maintained in the technology because the house owner will still throw the entities inside the non-biodegradable buckets to the garbage collectors for recycling. The organic garbage will be used after being crushed as fertilizers to our gardens in the backyard. The technology will be a new household innovation and additional technology in the kitchen. It would be nice if we have that kind of innovation in our home but their will still a big BUT if the idea of doing such technology will come true.

Wish ko lang....

Another is a mobile phone that does have to charge its battery for energy restoration. Because I recognize that cellular phones and mobile phones battery are fast to deteriorate its preserve energy so it is really necessary to recharge the battery for how many hours., maybe one or two hours with the use of fast charging battery chargers. To resolve this situation, why not thought of a battery that is kinetically charge. Kinetically charge is the word because it will only be shake or swayed to simulate the energy and restore. Then you can use the mobile phone in a minute of shaking and swaying the battery with your hands. Hmmm, why not! It would only not lessen the usage of electricity and too much waste in energy but it would also motivate to your body to move and exercised through the shaking and swaying way. It could be, because sooner there would be a charger just like this idea. Just look for ZDNet.com and watch the new generation wireless charger. Try! Actually there are so many futuristic technology being invented nowadays but is not yet implemented for censorship and limitations of information. Censorship is applied!

I also though of this technology but I doubt it would be possible to implement in our world today. It would be transportation technology that would make our way of transporting form place to place in a fast and more convenient way. This is no flying car but we can fly. If you think of a jet pack, it is also a big NO. The idea is having a Jet shoes. Fantastic, is not it? Fantastic because we could fly to our destination without any more hustle in waiting for buses or jeepneys or trains for several minutes up to hours in a terminal or bus stop. With this technology, we only need to wear it in our feet, and then we FLY! This technology could also lessen the pollution in our air. Jeepneys and buses as we all know contribute air pollution because of the smoke that came out from them. But I think we cannot afford of such technology because of the fact that we have NO funding and the government have to intentions of supporting any research that would be useful not only in our country but in our lives. Just like the new technology present in Japan today. Water based engines for cars and buses. The idea come from a Filipino scientist and was also proven and tested. But it was neglected by the government when he proposed it to them. Instead, Japan bought his idea and now is implemented and in progress in their country. There are so many technologies we can think about in terms of being eco-friendly, energy-saving, fast-transport, waste managing, etc. the only problem with the implementation of these ideas in technology is the financial assistance and support from the higher authority or the government. We all know that the main purpose of proposing a technology is to help make our life better with no intentions of destroying our environment and our world. But we also know that what we could make could also be the one to destroy us. A reality that we should remind our self about.
