Our Future

Eren BOzKuRT

The world is in the beginning of a huge change . In less than 20 years ’ time our lives might completely change . Technology has advanced insanely throughout this decade , and especially in 2021 the Internet started taking a huge shift .
With NFT ’ S ( Non-Fungible Tokens ) becoming more and more popular and the recent announcement of Facebook switching to Metaverse , people started investing crazy amounts of money to digital art , land and profiles . This might seem like a waste of money to the ones who don ’ t have much knowledge about this topic but the investors are on the right track .
These new Metaverse games are proof of life becoming VR based slowly but surely . In these games you can buy your own profile , buy your own plot , your own buildings and anything that you are able to purchase in real life . When technology advances enough for these games to have 4K graphics , the difference between them and real life will become unrecognizable . That is definitely terrifying .
In the future we ’ ll have to be citizens of a digital country . Getting ready for that is the best thing anybody could do since there is no way to stop it . It could take a decade , a century but one day it will happen , however we can ’ t know if life would be better than our lives today or not .
