“By 2023, 90% of the population will have a supercomputer in their back pockets.”

Not a very savvy person, that author. People already have a super computer in their back pocket.

In 1990 a $10 million Cray Y-MP super computer could do 300 million instructions per second. Today, we’re in the trillions.

An interesting read and only a few paragraphs at the end talk about religion so that’s good. I shared this with a lot of people. I don’t agree with all the prophesies but did find them interesting.

True. Wagon wheel makers repair guys had to find another line of work. The smart ones learned a new trade while they were still working if they could so they could transition easier.

Sometimes the hard part if finding something else a person has both the aptitude for and a desire to do. Having been there due to a physical injury/disability which prevented me from doing a previous trade/profession; it wasn’t easy.

A basic “basic living wage” for doing nothing

Experiments were done on mice in the 1950s to create an artificial disease-free utopia of free unlimited food, water, and living quarters. The experiments always ended in total colony collapse. Always the mice died out, even though they had everything they needed for the colony to live forever. It would be an excellent socialist utopia experiment for all high school students to perform and witness for themselves.

There will be many Amish-like communities popping up in the future, and these are the people that will inherit the Earth.

Too true.

There was a book written many years ago, about 20 IIRC, that said about the same thing.

They speculated that science could reach the point of making nanocomputers so small they would effectively work as viruses and people could be 8infected* with them without knowing and the nanocomputers could make chances in their DNA and control them without them even knowing.

It seems less probable then, when I read the book than it does not.

Our technology is far outpacing our ability to use it wisely. The human race is on a path of total self-destruction without the intervention of God.

Much of what is prophesied in the prophets and Revelation makes far more sense today than it ever did.

Posting the article in it[is] entirety above.

it's = it is

WTF?

[publius911]

Single driver trash trucks that pick up bins will soon be entirely robotic.

This has been followed by a 20,000% increase in dead bodies in trash bins.

Authorities and elected criminals are at a loss to explain the new reality...

[right way right]

I cannot help but see how everything is categorized today as what we thing and what we do.
It’s the beginnings of what the mark will control.
You think with you head. (forehead)
You do with your hands, (hand) take the mark and your choices will end.

But many (most?) people don't "repurpose" well in reaction to rapid changes in the skills demanded by the market, driven by technology. The emphasis on formal education as a requirement for employment makes people think that new formal education is only way to adapt, and it is expensive.

"A little learning is a dangerous thing..."
True 150 years ago... true today.

A primary School student of the 1900s was better educated than a non STEM college graduate of today. That is reality.

Expensive college education of today is mostly utterly worthless.

Women's studies?
Basket weaving?
Black Studies?
Snowflake Studies?
Community Activism?
etc?

All fall under the umbrella of Societal Parasitic Studies.

Contributing less than zero to the improvement of the culture and the country.
A culture and a country more than halfway to extinction.

Why is the wife driving?
Is the passenger on a laptop?

90% of today’s global population doesn’t have Smart Phones, but soon they will.

I’m glad you found it beneficial.
It’s important for people to not be dogmatic about prophesies since they haven’t played out yet. I don’t agree with everything every Christian author writes either.

[Lazamataz]

We are so screwed.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

I don’t pretend to know everything about God.
A few things I believe I think He really dislikes are big cities and technology.

Moral depravity doubles down when they are combined as we see these days.

[PeterPrinciple]

Technology is NEVER a substitute for good management (decision making). It can be a tool for good management.

But the reality is technology will be the substitute. We are all algorithms in the future……………………………….

There’s a brighter day coming FRiend.
With Christ and those who love Him.

[Lazamataz]

In the future, Grammar Police will be replaced by Artificial Intelligence.

They will be just as annoying.

;)

[Lazamataz]

There’s a brighter day coming FRiend. With Christ and those who love Him.

All I want to know is that Jesus loves me even if my grammer is bad.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

LOL
Even if your breath is bad He does.
