In the next 1000 years, men will have heads the size of an overgrown pumpkin, short, lean legs and arms, pouchy stomachs and a big butt. And so my college professor said crediting Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
The reason for such weird prediction, he explained, is the manner by which men will behave in the future -- as slaves of computers, tied down to a chair and desktop table.
I refuse to believe that of course.
It's an irony that while 1st world countries advance their technologies, other parts of the world lag years behind. Children of the former learn from the Internet while the latter scrambles to read old, worn out books.
If Darwin's theory will be true, then we may have two breeds of human walking in the planet.
I'll be happy not to be alive at that time.
And again, I refuse to believe that...of course.
For every Filipino to be future-ready, basic requirements must first be addressed - nutrition, education, employment.
Unfortunately, 70% of the country's population do not meet these requirements. Future-readiness for the Philippines must be a collective effort of the government and people to raise living standards a top priority.
Good thing technology plays an important role in learning, research and remote study. And we are glad that even the farthest areas of the Philippines can now be reached by wireless broadband Internet.
When we speak of politics and the government, we all exhale with dismay. But I still have a fervent hope, and I pray at night that someday, our country will change for the better. So that all Filipinos will be prepared to face the fast-changing, technology-driven future.
