THE FUTURE IS APPROACHING

The future has many names. For the weak is the unreachable. For the fearful, the unknown. For the brave is the opportunity.
Victor Hugo





We are living in a time of changes that is progressing incredibly fast, at times the news seems to come out of a science fiction novel in the best Orwellian style, even at times it resembles a dystopian reality alien to the realities we know as typical of our time .
However on the other hand we see how the world is stuck and loaded with a lot of problems that seem to be too distant from an immediate solution.
We live in a world where social differences, customs and lifestyles of our own or acquired mark us and show us the different realities of each culture.
While in one part of the world everything looks nice and life offers a lot of opportunities to succeed and have the life that everyone once dreamed about, on the other end some people lives in a dictatorship and prisoner of a government that controls at his own a whole country.

But when we think about the future that awaits us and pay attention to the advances and changes that we are experiencing, we can see a small beam of light that illuminates our path. As in a moment were the media and all the fury that this brought with it today, the revolution goes through the economic and labor side, everyone, or the vast majority remember the beginnings of mobile cellphones, the first text messages, a 24 hs internet connection, the first blogs, social networks, etc. All this has awakened a new wave of actions, customs, uses and much more.
However I remember how was this change for the generation of my parents and previous, I remember the first computer in my house, the first time we entered that world called "internet" and my parents could not believe what they had within reach, some faces of astonishment among so much intangible information.





The same thing is happening today with the world economy and the problems of work and unemployment, it is very difficult for these people born in the 60s, 50s, to understand this change and this inclusion of the cryptomoneda in the world economic system. In the same way the simple fact of making money through STEEMIT, or another platform that rewards media writing, even a freelance telework can be difficult to understand at a certain point for them. To a certain extent these generations delay the use and application of new technologies, just as in the past happened with cellular technology, and WhatsApp had to appear with its free messaging service (as long as you are connected to a data network) to force this public to use the messaging, and it seems that this has been who has put an end (practically) to the use of the classic cable phone.

As the time passes to these generations it is harder for them to understand and adapt to the new changes, in the same way that we are struggling to keep pace with certain technological aspects, an example that I lived in person was the appearance of the Pokemon GO , a game that seems to have made a furore in a certain audience but that we did not share that knowledge could sound a little crazy.
Unfortunately there are changes so drastic and so fast that they do not allow time to adapt, and at a certain point I believe that the great break of this economic and labor change that we are going to end up settling down when a generation dies, when the use of digital devices is unanimous to make transactions, and this will happen to us too, at one point our capacity for understanding will become obsolete before new technologies and we will simply become the herd that delays the evolution of the rest.





I do not want this to be misunderstood and to sound cruel, but in my opinion it is like that, and I see it every day. Moving it to my circle of people I can see clearly that no parents would come to understand what the inclusion of the cryptocurrencies in the economic system can be posible, as it would be impossible to explain to my grandmother how the concept of blockchain works, or what is the mining system.
As much as generalizing does nothing but enlarge a possible margin of error in the theory, this shows me that majorities dominate the market in every way, and while the majority of people who use credit cards, paper money and transactions keeps using bank houses the change will continue stumbling and will always have some kind of barrier that retains it for a short period.

In ten years we will be living in a world where the economy is going to be managed virtually, the majority of the world's population will telework or generate their income through traditional mining or brain-minig, bloggers, vloggers, or any type of related business that can provide good income, labor will be exclusive and will have a very high cost, while everything we know today will be made by robots. At one point everything will evolve to something that exceeds us and is far from our capacity for understanding and there will be us who are the burden of new generations to follow their evolutionary step.
