Dreaming about the future. Brittany W. ( 1 BATX B )

We won’t need to drive our cars in the future … Computers will do it for us


The world is advancing so quickly these days. Every single month there are new mobile phones being released, new cars being designed.

We cannot keep track of all the innovative developments in the world anymore.

Imagine waking up in the morning not having to search for car keys, jumping into your car and asking it to start the engine .Envisage that in the future, now imagine it in your future. Even though this idea may be difficult to conceive this is where humankind and the world is going.

Cars will no longer need a steering wheel. The car will contain a “brain” of its own and will make decisions by itself.  But a car will never have a soul or a spirit so it cannot replace our cognitive thinking . Personally I believe that this may be the root of some problems . Do we truly want to put all our trust  within a car not only that but  put other people’s lives at risks not just our own .

Is this fast-tracked development a positive or a negative? In my opinion I feel that it can be seen as both. On one side there are a lot of positives as it improves our knowledge of technology, science, nature and transport. It makes people contemplate what their purpose on the earth is and what they are going to contribute to the world.

But what would happen if we reversed all the progressions that we have made to before the Industrial revolution. People would provide for all their basic needs and have our priorities in line. We would supply for our essential necessities within Maslow’s triangle.


This is an ongoing debate and will continue for a very long time  People will continue to be free thinkers and be innovative and creative providing services that they feel people may need.
