Am I thinking too much about the future?
I wonder how the future will be. Will it really improve our lives or not? Yesterday I was thinking how frustrating and challenging at the same time is learning a new language even if (or even though?) today we have so many tools for getting better at it. Just 20 years ago humanity couldn't even imagine about platforms like Italki where you can experience a new language by video chatting with native speakers or still seeing videos on Youtube to hear pronunciation and some other tips.
What if one day we wouldn't need all of these stuff? Maybe one day scientists could wreck language barriers by transplanting a chip in our head. This chip could connect to a lot of servers placed all around the world and we could start talking any language simply by using a special earphone. How cool that will be? Maybe we'll be like living smartphones! Yeah , I know! that sounds awkward and even funny today and things like these can even terrorize people but just 20 years ago, would you even imagine things we have nowadays?
By the way, for now I'm going to be content to talk to Siri and ask her to set the timer for pasta!
