Where is tech going?

If you take a look back at the past, the world of tech will show you a little direction. What else can you do to make predictions, but look at history! That is our best bet!

The world of tech, or more broadly, innovation usually happened in the name of problem solving. Us, humans, had some problems, that needed solving. And the ones among us who could, made something to fix it. The roads, rails or the simpler things like a lamp, all came from a need, and then somehow we found the solution. Our ancestors did. But where does it lead us?

In the grand scheme of things, even the most meaningless events could connect to something bigger even the smaller parts not being conscious about it at all. That's the beauty of natural course. It leads to somewhere even if you hadn't made plans to do so.

But it helps when you can get an idea!

Through our exploration, and seeking answers, we've come to this point so it must be not completely pointless to try! To understand. So we can either avoid an accident, or at least brace for impact if it's unavoidable!

Now simply apply the same thing to the field of science and tech. It has advanced so much in the past few years that it's starting to feel like the innovation explosion. Things have reached a tip off point. 10 years’ progress in months. That's what happens when the progress has started to finally show.

Where is the tech leading us? Even through simple and quite ordinary things like igniting a fire has led to this phone in our pocket. The memes in your internet has created the single smartest being on the plannet. The tweets somehow created the next ultron, or jarvis? Perhaps! But even the plumber who helped build the house, of the guy who invented electricity, can you imagine, was somehow responsible! Whatever the outcome is, good or bad!

Now where does it all lead us? Will we ever know until it's too late?
