Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better
World Economic Forum - Contributor
Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city." I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.
It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.
First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams, not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking?
....
the hopeful article goes on in the same vein and also mentions those poor souls that don't live in "our city".
just because they are planning it and have the money and will to try and make it happen doesn't mean that anyone should try to point it out or work against it politically.
It's those loose cannon populous that are the problem, or the muslims, or those immigrants, or minorities or the democrats or republicans or the Chinese or Putin.
If we step back, it seems we all have common enemy pretending to be our friend trying to Shepard us all into a controlled technocracy.
