I've been thinking about this for some time now. As you see new technologies and innovations keep coming and coming and we're embracing them without thinking about any possible negative consequences. I mean, we don't have a choice really though, do we? If someone doesn't want to change with the rhythm of the world, he's just being removed from the system. Believe it or not it's almost a matter of survival, it's just that's in modern times.
One of the most recent news which I read and was shocked about it was that the humanoid robot Sophia, who recently got citizenship from Saudi Arabia, wants to have her own family and a baby. That means more humanoid robots... It's happening in front of our eyes! It's amazing but also scary to think we're this advanced now even though most of the common people have no idea about it. Like, just 5 years ago here in my country only rich people had smartphones. Now everyone has at least two.
What about cryptocurrencies?
We're literally witnessing the revolution of the cryptocurrency. Soon, the material money we know now will disappear, banks as well and it's happening right now. No wonder some people say that Bitcoin could cause a potential war. The world is changing with extremely fast temps. So, yes I definitely think the world is entering a new era.
