Going off my last post of musing about what the future holds in store for us, is it me or do we work way too hard these days?
With the age of computers and technology and this new age of information... our goal should be AUTOMATION...
Many things are already automated. For example, ATM machines. Did you know that the owner of an ATM machine makes money off you (by charging you that $2 fee or whatever) automatically? That's automatic continual income. You can invest in an ATM machine for a few thousand dollars, make a deal with a restaurant owner to put it in her restaurant, and start making money right away. Warren Buffet's first investment was similar. He bought a pinball machine and made a deal with a barber to put it in his shop.
The funny thing is, in the future, we probably wont even need ATM machines at all... why? because, if everything is automated. And I mean things like farming (We can make robots that will sew and harvest plants.), construction, landscaping (We can make automatic lawnmowers that remember a certain path to take.), cooking (sudo make me a sandwich), etc. If everything is automated (Use your imagination. Anything is possible.), then we won't have to pay for anything (You don't have to pay robots or computers to run. They work for you for free. And we can find natural, automatic ways to power them, like solar power. Nature is automatic.).
So, humans should be working toward automation to the next level (way past industrialization). And it should be done with health and environmental concerns as a top priority. For example, gasoline should no longer be used to fuel cars. We've already shown it's plausible to use hydrogen and water to fuel cars. But then again, the gasoline industry are doing a great job resisting this transition.
Not to mention the transition from the unhealthy American diet to the healthy whole plant-based diet. Sigh... I could go on and on. Educate yourselves! Or how about how blurred vision is the new normal vision. And laser surgery. The doctors don't even tell you the risks involved. Yes, that's right, you're more likely to get blinding eye diseases later in life if you're myopic (nearsighted) or presbyopic (farsighted). And if you get laser surgery, you will be permanently myopic. Myopia can be cured. It is not hereditary. Really, google how to improve your vision. I'm living proof that it can be done.
