The world through my distorted lens... a distorted world through my lens.

3000 AD

No signal!  Initiating UV mode.. Scanning. Scanning.. signal found.
location: 30.43° East, 15.01°North...

Buildings are characterized by their amorphous shapes, numbers and magnificent height which is  paramount to housing the teeming human population. Buildings aren't  made of bricks nor blocks - that's archaic- rather, they were made of crystalline (glass like)  materials that are bulletproof and of great tensile strength.

Quantum chromodynamics is applied in the construction industry that has  made it common for buildings to literally glow in the dark,  in different colours after absorbing the Sun's white light during the day. In the dark from high afar, a city's form looks like a constellation of tightly packed stars gleaming with different myriads of bright colours.

The city is filled with people who came to witness the unveiling of the world's first time machine. It  is  reported that this first version of the time machine can travel as far back as twenty years when the universal data - time-stamp satellite (DTS) was launched. THE DTS records every detail of every activities that are occurring in every part of the world. Even in deep caves,  remote villages, deserts and oceans.   The time machine is designed to work with the DTS so that a Humanoid can literally travel back in time. 


After the unveiling, many people returned to their respective abodes in sonic speed UVMs, while some wealthier ones teleported. The world government has done a good job in restricting teleportation only to the elites.
-Good job huh?-


I was still virtually present at the unveiling ground when someone in my room tapped me, as a reflex action, I disconnected the televirtual lens. The televirtual lens is like a swimming goggle. It operates just like the television; difference is, with the televirtual lens, you choose what you want to see at anyplace and anytime, while in the case of a television, there's a limitation to what you can see - you see only what the cameraman wants you to see.
For security reasons however, some places were disabled for televirtual presence.

The person who tapped me wanted me to configure his newly bought PC. I just spoke a few commands and the thing was up and running. Yes I spoke to it. Keyboard and mouse are now obsolete. PCs now come with inbuilt peripheral devices that enables users to input data and issue control via the mind. Originally designed for people who are physically challenged, it has gained massive entrance into the market as people preferred it to manual data input devices like touch screen pad and virtual data input. Also, computer systems now process information like a biological human brain. No longer in binary i.e zeros and ones. This means no more Assemblers, interpreters or compilers. This feature which was introduced in the 91st computer generation has made PCs more human friendly and faster as the overhead of compiling was eliminated.

Another determining factor for a  PC's speed and improved performance was the unlimited storage device which makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information and the introduction of laser technology to replace the concept of transistors in the manufacture of chip sets like the CPU chip.Did I mention RAM was extinct?


House appliances like light LEDs, sound systems, TVs, micro waves, Phones, PDAs, PCs etc were all nuke powered. Each with an inbuilt nuclear cell with enough energy to power each device till the device's lifespan.
So there was absolutely no need for in-house electrical wiring. In fact, wires are  fizzled out. Everything is cordless.


UVMs (ultra vehicular movement) are also nuke powered. UVMs can be compared to what was known as cars about one thousand years ago, but UVMs unlike cars were not limited to the ground alone, they don't use internal combustion engines, thus there is zero CO2 emission.
Green environment. To further clarify, everything ranging from non-biodegradable wastes to nuclear wastes are been recycled.
 

Venus and Mars has been terraformed and has long been a habitat for humanity. In fact in sports news, humans in Venus would be playing the Venus football cup final and in a fortnight, Venus-11 will play to host Earth-11 in an interplanetary match. Football, just like other sports are strictly human exercises. The humanoids are not allowed to participation. 




Humanoids are almost like humans in everything but the spiritual, biological and their characteristic blue colours.
They have taken over fields like medicine, agriculture, engineering, astronomy, military etc. All the aforementioned fields have recorded tremendous breakthroughs in twenty-five years, since the humanoids took over. More than ten times the total achievements recorded by man since civilisation.

Quantum inoculation has gotten rid of all diseases, Human longetivity has been increased dramatically. Cataclysmic asteroids averted, ozone layer replenished... 

However, despite the quantum leap in computer science, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, humankind were still plagued with disasters mainly Israeli - Arabian cyber war and artificial viruses. Artificial viruses stem from an unholy competition between rival OEM companies. These artificial viruses mutated to biologicals and affects not only  the Humanoids but Humans as well.

An artificial neural network connects everything, ranging from PDAs to Humanoids and even Humans via human interfaces. Each device is a node
of the neural network. Some conspiracy theories have it that the artificial neural spine has a consciousness of it's own and hence subliminally manipulative of the Human mind.

PHEW!
Back to reality, this epistle is getting too long, please forgive my loose pen. (yawns)
I just projected my thoughts to one thousand years from now.
It may sound funny, awkward, unrealistic or even unreasonable but the truth is, solitary fictional thoughts aren't totally discarded by me.
