Technology over the last century has leaned towards one goal.

Making money.

It's fairly easy to come to the conclusion that it will continue on that path and we will see technology continue to squeeze civilization into obscurity to further separate the ultra rich from the rest of humanity.

1. Most jobs will be automated.

2. Art, thoughts, and information will be controlled tighter.

3. we will eventually get some kind of brain or body implants for tracking or monitoring.

It sounds like some dystopian sci-fi far reaching conclusion but just look at what we have done with technology.

We built factories to make things faster and cheaper but that wasn't good enough. Now we are automating processes and systems that are designed to simply cut out human wages.

We've created medicine and life saving technology that is only accessible to the highest bidder, the wealthiest, and luckiest people.

We created way to share information instantly and socialize with strangers instantly across the world, but the information is being fed through algos and sold to the highest bidder. It's used to manipulate, control, and advertise.

Every time some new breakthrough of technology takes place it is used to further widen the wealth gap so there is no doubt it my mind that will continue.

I believe that if Orwell was a glimpse into our current future, Black Mirror is the glimpse into the further future. Some version of it will be our reality. Art imitating life imitating art.
