What Will Teenagers Be Like In 100 Years

What will Teenagers Be Like in 100 Years.


This is an interesting title, and it's quite thought-provoking too. So without ado, let's start !

We might not live to see the teenagers in the next 100 years, but who knows, maybe someone invents life-prolonging technology. In 100 years, teenagers will be less...curious to the environment and everything else. Since with  the advancement of technology, basically every single information that a human could ever want can be found with a single press of a button. Given that we're already able to do that right now, it's now only a matter of time when humans are able to download data directly into their brains.

Unless biotechnology or the current state of the environment improves, humanity's look will deform. Really badly. Evolution sometimes bring surprises. In an attempt to overcome the damages we caused to the environment, we might just created another environment, a volatile one for our future generations to adapt and overcome. This might bring about the term science fiction movies or books adore to use - "Homo Novus" the next step in human evolution. Stronger, faster and smarter than before, they look ugly due to their ability to resist harsh environments.

Currently in the year 2018, teenagers love to use their technology on hand, such as the smartphone or maybe even a desktop. This all will change in the next two decades. As augmented reality becomes a "reality", teenagers will switch from using devices and interact with a virtual environment, fully equipped with sensors to feel whatever their doing in games or that one drama which has 500 chapters in a season. Hell, maybe they even get to star in that drama. Who knows, I have a lot of friends that are addicted to these kinds of things...

As for their cultures, you can be sure there will be a lot of them preserving them. Maybe they would even spread it with other cultures, or even mix it ! Who knows, 100 years is a lot of time. A lot of things can happen.

Don't think too much on the future. If the humans now don't solve problems that are currently existing, we might not have humans in the future, let alone in Mars.

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

What Actually Transpired During The Holidays

Well that was fast. There goes the week long holiday that everyone anticipated. Previously I discussed about my plans during the holidays, and to summarize if it did happen, yes... some of it. I did complete my homework and studied a bunch throughout the holidays. It's a nice thing for a change and I didn't want to take any chances in failing my tests. Yeah it was boring, but no pain no gain as the wise old man says. I didn't do much writing as it turns out, just a few chapters here and there. But I did do a lot of research and learned a whole bunch of new vocabulary after reading some books and listening to some documentaries and podcasts. Sleeping was the best part of the holidays to be honest. Getting to rest up is a nice feeling in general. All in all, not a bad week. Cheers, Chua.
