It is safe to say that the modern man can no longer live without computers. The comforts of modern living have made it increasingly indispensable in getting things done right at home. The kings, royalties and aristocrats of the 19th century in all their pomp and circumstance are sure to envy the lowly housewife of the 21st century of the extent of sheer comfort and convenience with which they get things done. So much so that in the future, no one needs to get out of the house anymore.
- Videos games from computer controlled games consoles like the PS3, Wii and the Xbox as well as on the PCs have taken over the television as the object of focus among couch potatoes. They are more intuitive, interactive and their graphics is amazingly realistic and immersive thanks to the high definition imaging and full surround sounds they produce courtesy of the powerful computer processors in their hardware. Soon virtual reality engines will take gaming to the next level that makes staying at home even more compelling.
- The internet is not just a gigantic library of information but has evolved into a virtual social landscape dotted with forums, blogs, communities, social networking sites, chat rooms and dating/match-making services that some psychologist have started airing alarms that the modern generation is losing touch with real friendships and interaction with the family. When kids start to spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet chatting, uploading photos on social network sites and posting messages on forums more than playing baseball or spending time with family members, then you start to wonder if we are looking at a future with an entirely new set of social values ' one that is more virtual than real.
- Just about anything can be virtualized these days. With an increasing computing power promised with nanotechnology, even visiting historic sites and taking a vacation in beaches and exotic places can be made on virtual reality PCs. You already have virtual video conferences participated by people around the world without ever leaving their homes. Virtual interaction is now a new dimension to societal relationships. It is not surprising to see airlines suffer shrinking travel revenues when fewer people are taking business trips for overseas meetings, trade conferences and seminars. A computer on the internet makes these travels redundant.
- Home entertainment using the immersive experience of 3D video and surround sound could not have been possible with analog technologies. The digital revolution of the 90s with CDs and DVDs have opened the path for home entertainment to where they are today, thanks in large measure to computers processing billions of pixel and sound bits behind the home entertainment appliance we now have. It can be pretty much predictable with such an alluring form of divertissement that the tribe of couch potatoes will increase.
Conclusion
The future will find us inexorably home-bound. No need to go out the house to visit the mall, as you can shop and pay on the internet. No need to bring the family to the theater, as your 3D home video system does the job. No need to attend get-togethers with friends as Facebook and Twitter sites do the same job. No need to play baseball at the school gym since virtual gaming does the job. No need to go to the office since you can do whatever you need to do in the office at home. No need to take a vacation to the Bahamas or attend a conference in England as you can do a virtual tour and a virtual conference over the internet. In short, the future is bright for social nerds who just need a chair and a computer hooked to the internet. GP
