Eyeless

Utterly prophetic.

Look around you, we are getting 3D television, smartphones, new gaming consoles, and every day more and more technology is slipped into our lives.

Aldoux Huxley wrote in reaction to the industrial revolution, decades later, we are seeing the aftermath of it. Albert Einstein once said he was afraid we would one day let the machine outsmart the man, we are on the verge of Singularity.

Einstein and Huxley both  lived in the 1900's, they both died before they could see the theory of singularity come to live. Today we relay on the machine, machines fix people, they fix cars, and animals, and plants. Machines run the world.

Even beyond Huxley's and Einstein's words, men became dependent of the fast evolving technology. To my eyes, Huxley was a prophet, he predicted what we would become if we allowed ourselves to let go of our humanity. I just hope I don't live to see it happen.
