Think deeply about things. Don’t just go along because that’s the way things are or that’s what your friends say. Consider the effects, consider the alternatives, but most importantly, just think.

“Shalosh B. Ekhad, the co-author of several papers in respected mathematics journals, has been known to prove with a single, succinct utterance theorems and identities that previously required pages of mathematical reasoning. Last year, when asked to evaluate a formula for the number of integer triangles with a given perimeter, Ekhad performed 37 calculations in less than a second and delivered the verdict: “True.” Shalosh B. Ekhad is a computer. Or, rather, it is any of a rotating cast of computers used by the mathematician Doron Zeilberger, from the Dell in his New Jersey office to a supercomputer whose services he occasionally enlists in Austria. The name — Hebrew for “three B one” — refers to the AT&T 3B1, Ekhad’s earliest incarnation. “The soul is the software,” said Zeilberger, who writes his own code using a popular math programming tool called Maple.”

Though some visions of the future seem far away, know that they arrive sooner than you think.
This Compuserve poster is from 1982. 25 years later, the first iPhone was released, and the concepts listed in the advert were considered to be the most basic functions of the device: banking, stock-tracking, email, and even multiplayer bridge…
As we look 25 years into the future, considering the exponentially increasing rate of science and technology, will our current futurist visions be seen as equally basic? Life extension, body augmentation and brain-computer interfaces will likely come installed as default apps too.
“Someday” is closer than you think.
