Ever wondered how our world will look like in say half a millennium or thousand years to come? I’m amazed at the picture I see; it is highly contended that a greater part of what man needs to know would have been known.
We’ll probably not need papers or books, libraries etc because these would have become entirely obsolete. Data and information will be a click of a button away in microchips (if not implanted in our nervous systems). A man will virtually walk into the doctor’s office and select the kind of offspring he wishes to have and that will be done for him/her.
In fact it is feared that since affordable cures would have been found to basically all human ailments, and a good part of the human population been able to live un-aging for as long as they so wish, people will have to ‘ration death’; a family who anticipate bringing forth a new born may be advised to ask granny to give way!!
The effects of certain natural phenomena like global warming will mean that people will ultimately be asking Doctor to give them a baby with more melanin. Man would have gained full control of his destiny.

Some philosophers I have spoken with believe that human driving force has got something to do with Sadomasochism.
