No matter what your religion is, it is ultimately YOU who has the capacity to control your life. We can't always blame religion for the current state of our lives. For example, in this day and age where our earth is deteriorating, do you solely pray for a better world, or actually do something about it?

Hmmm.... I think I'll cross the bridge when I get there -of course we will all be thinking differently once we're old or sick. But it's nice to know that will options in the future about extending life. Ex. Virtual Reality.

At the state of our earth right now where we're at the verge of completely losing our resources, I think we really do need new residence. I think scientists were right all along. We need to design a better world through technology. VR, perhaps?

I guess for the spiritual, they believe in entering paradise with their God. But for realists and those who believe in the power of technology, death can only be an option. Scientists nowadays are looking into achieving immortality by way of uploading the mind into a computer.I guess there is hope for future generations.

No experience on that matter, thank God. So not ready to die yet. But some scientists now are able to paint a picture of what an immortal life, or at least an extension of life would be like in the future. They're looking into using virtual reality particularly, digitizing the human consciousness and uploading it into a virtual world. Interesting, huh?

A world without politicians would just create more chaos, don't you think? It's like leaving kids at a candy store and all hell will break loose. Greedy people will just take what they can get. And for sure our environment will have all its resources destroyed/consumed.

Well, there are studies being done about using the brain to be able to digitize memories and ultimately, downloading a human being’s conscious mind through a computer -the objective being not just to be able to "read" the mind, but to produce a digital self in a virtual world.

Bitcoin, as well as other blockchains, are part of a breakthrough technology that can hold, transfer, and accumulate wealth without restrictions from centralized government. The money is back in the hands of the people plus, it will open doors to more useful applications needed in this digital age. Virtual currencies will dominate in the future.

I think a certain amount of phone/computer usage for children is fine. Let's face it --we are at a digital age and we cannot escape technology. We have to introduce it in some way to the kids. I am not against the use of technology, I am for the responsible use of technology. And also, being tech-savvy is cool --it makes more room for success in the future.

Yes, I think it's possible. I mean with all the talk now about human consciousness being uploaded to a computer, I'm sure dream recorders would be feasible too. Quite exciting how it develops, huh?

An article on the Telegraph says that the head of the Environment Agency is warning England of the need for personal water targets. In particular, people should take showers instead of baths. They are urged to use less water and companies are asked to curbed leaks in order to to prevent future shortages and damage to rivers and wildlife. Apparently, many of their sources of water supplies are already overstretched. Couple that with a growing population and climate change, much of England could face supply shortages by the 2050 Wake up, people! We should all be afraid of our resources depleting. It’s not just drought, but food and clean air as well. What if the time comes when we’re asked to not even take showers anymore? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/23/ditch-bath-environment-agency-chief-says-warns-need-personal/

Anyone interested in traveling to outer space without actually leaving earth? A UK company will soon be launching multiple satellites to broadcast real-time immersive videos of the Earth, made possible by virtual reality goggles. Exciting, huh?
