Summary:

  • Technology products simplify life and help update homes.
  • Products catering to diverse interests, such as portable telescopes and new turntables, are emerging.

2. Considering the Background

As technological innovation advances, our lives are becoming more convenient. For example, smart home technology automates household chores, reducing effort. These products meet the needs of a society that values convenience. However, as the pursuit of this convenience progresses, what kind of future awaits? Let’s consider potential futures.

3. What Will the Future Be Like?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Technology Becomes the Norm

It is conceivable that convenient gadgets will become a part of our lives. Consequently, many daily tasks will be handed over to machines, changing how we use our time. Gradually, accepting technological evolution and relying on technology may become commonplace, potentially significantly altering our values.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future of Major Technological Advancement

Further advanced technology may create new industries and jobs, improving the quality of life. Individual products will become increasingly smart, and environmental considerations will advance as well. As a result, a society that maximizes the benefits brought by technology may form, leading to a sustainable future.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Human Skills Deteriorate

On the other hand, excessive dependence on technology poses the risk of a decline in human manual skills and creativity. Over-reliance on machines may result in the loss of basic skills, leading to a society where living without technology becomes impossible. In such cases, the perception of technology might shift in a negative direction.

  • Reassess how you use technology in daily life and question what you truly need.
