This text is meant for example as an image. Can our future be something very strange and could our privacy turn that way, that all human civilization would melt into one gigantic organism. In this scenario, the future of mankind is that the man is living in some kind of dream without the body. This version of the losing ability to live independently, would the mankind live in the virtual reality. The movie "Matrix" came that version of the future in the front of the audiences. That movie told the story about the world, where humans are totally losing their identity and privacy.


And the resistance, what fought to get the mankind back in reality. But after that film was the feeling, that was everything fake or reality, and how many layers of the reality could be in that imaginational computer's memory? In this texts, I can think the layers of virtual reality as the one version of parallel universe theory. If the mankind would live in some kind of matrix, the layers of this super-reality would have similar forms with the multiverse theory. In this "matrix" would be many layers like universes, and it could be theoretically impossible to move between the layers.


When we are thinking about the "hyper-reality" we would face many fascinating theories, what are actually quite silly, but they would show that persons dare to think the different way than other people. The theory that human being would be the computer program is, of course, one of the most brilliant ways to make philosophical thoughts. There is no limit of imagination, and imagination is the way to make innovation and new products. And the imagination is in the key role when people make their inventions. Imagination is also called as the term "productive thinking". And this way of thinking makes innovations for the human race.

Once I saw pictures of Japanese plastic-tube hotel, where people would not have actually own rooms. They would sleep in small ski-box style tube, and this is seen as a very suitable solution for airport hotels. But this picture brought one thought about the privacy of human being. And also I can see that kind of living for solution one of the biggest problems on Earth. That is overpopulation, and here I can think about the next step of privacy. What if some people would live in those tubes, and work in the cities, what is looking like giant shopping centers.


Maybe I wrote this sometimes earlier, but as we can see, the people of tomorrow would live actually in the cities, what is made inside one single building, where would be same services than modern cities, but all things in this combination would place inside one single building. Maybe people of tomorrow would ever go out, and they would live inside those houses, and work in there. When we are thinking about architecture, the most well-known cities could be covered by giant bubbles, and they would be stored as a historical monument of the people, who lived in 21 st. century.


And the people of tomorrow would automatically leave many things about their privacy away, but then we must ask: how much privacy one man or woman needs. Here I'm writing about things that would make our society more social, but same times this advantage would need changes in the people attitudes. When we are thinking about growing population, we must make something. We have no space for traditional living style. And probably there would be implants in the human body, what would send their health information to central computers because that would able to make health care more effective.


Of course, many illnesses can be cured by vaccines, but there would always found new kind of mutation of viruses and bacteria, what would cause that the health care must have more capacity to fight against new organisms. In that society of tomorrow, we are losing our privacy and probably we would turn as machines by step by step. In the society of tomorrow, we can have many keys, what we had ever before. But the problem is that we would lose our privacy. The machines would make all our work, and that could cause the end of privacy. And if this advantage would continue, would the man lost the body to some computers, what need only our nervous system for working. In this scenario of an advantage of human civilization, our future would be to merge in one super mind.


Once I read one book about this kind of advantage. In that book, the main character would solve the murder case, but then this character realized, that he was in some kind sleep, because the characters were in 1920's style houses, and suddenly they were traveled in flying cars. And at the end of that book would the main character noticed, that he was only a computer program, that traveled in the 2nd. Lifestyle virtual world, where computer programs met and talked together. This is one way to think about risks, what computerization and other things like virtual reality would cause.


Sometimes I thought that could some person in future earn money by laying in EEG-machine, what would connect that person to computers. And could the "plastic tube"-type solution cause the advantage, that our all civilization would transfer to the neurons, what are assembled in one giant brain structure. Those brains could be connected to robots and other systems, but in this case, we would lose our individualism. In the world could be only one brain, and that would make them very lonely.


For creating new, brains would need also ideas and stimulus. And also for making right things would even the most powerful brains need other brains what give ideas to that massive neuron structure. This is only the most horrifying road for mankind, and thank god we have understood that real strength of mankind is individualism. We all think different things, and that makes our species very surprising. And our genetic variability would give us a possibility to stay alive even in the most lethal epidemics. Individualism is the power of our species. That individualism makes us humans. And all advantages would go forward from individual thoughts.
