Some predictions about the future. (part 1)

This is some predictions about ourselves in the far far future. Not 20-50 years but hundred years from now.

1) Playing god is a federal offense. Influencing lower life in other planet to worship you and making them your slave will be punished by death.

2) Taking tourist near supernova is prohibited.

3) Genetically modifying pets to make them killer machine and commercial slaves is illegal.

4) Colonizing planet for the sake of a camping trip is breaching Natural Reserve Law.

5) Robots are banned in school, because many students are using it to copy.

6) Driving a car manually is suicidal. Let the computer drive for you.

7) Uploading information to the brain is possible.

8) Creating artificial experience to cheat the brain into doing superhuman stunts.

9) Human deformation is a thing of the past.

10) World War 3 is unavoidable. Look at current world status, North Korea launching satellite with missile capabilities, Russia calling for mass weapon rearmament.

11) Humans will be immune to radioactive because we re modify our genes. This enable space travel in long distance.

12) An archive of genetic information of all past and present animal will be available. Animals will not be living among us in some place. But if there is a need using this information to clone a new animal in seconds.


I'll add more prediction in the future. If you have any ideas even crazy ones, please tell me.

The right way to Moral

I have received critical comments in my last post. Therefore i would like to write my solution on moralizing student while opposing the status quo.

To make things short,
Forceful memorizing will not help students understand anything. Instead a concept should be developed in them. The question is how?

The best way to make a student realize is through stories.

Instead of spoon feeding them with values, we tell them stories with values. This will change the responsible of a teacher from just teaching to a story teller and teaching.

The best example we can get is through epics like Jakata Tales. This type of stories are told in an interesting way which indirectly emphasis moral values. This what modern kids need, INDIRECT NON BORING LEARNING.

If the tales are too old for modern kids some would argue, give them modern story lines.
For example, Animes.

Yes! i mean animes like naruto, Law of ueki and such and such. Why such a solution?
If you ever watch Law of Ueki for example, it indirectly emphasis about the value of friendship. This can impact a kid better to asppreciate friendship than what they learn in school. This i dare to stake my pride for it.

Well, of course not all animes are compatible therefore it needs heavy selection. But majority of the popular ones is viable.

A story can impact one's life and given it's proportion compared to current status quo it's way better mean of educating moral.
