Buildings were characterized by their amorphous shapes, numbers and magnificent height which was paramount to housing the teeming human population. Buildings weren't made of bricks nor blocks - that's archaic- rather, they were made of crystalline materials that were bulletproof and
of great tensile strength. Quantum chromodynamics was applied in the construction industry that made it common for buildings to literally glow in the dark in different colours after absorbing the Sun's white light during the day. In the dark from high afar, a city's form looks like a constellation of tightly packed stars gleaming with different myriads of bright colours.


The city was filled with people who came to witness the unveiling of the world's first time machine. It was reported that this first version of the time machine can travel as far back as 2 years when the universal time-data satellite was launched. The time-data satellite records every detail of every activities that were ongoing in every part of the world. The time machine was designed to work with the time-data satellite so that a humanoid can literally go back in time.
After the unveiling, many people returned to their respective abodes in sonic speed jet, while some wealthier ones teleported. The world government has done a good job in restricting teleportation only to the elites.
-Good job huh?-

I was still virtually present at the unveiling ground when someone in my room tapped me, as a reflex action, I disconnected the televirtual lens. The televirtual lens is like a swimming google. It operates just like the television; difference is, with the televirtual lens, you choose what you want to see any time at anyplace that is televirtual enabled, while In the case of a television, there's a limitation to what you can see - you see only what the cameraman wants you to see.
For security reasons however, some places were disabled for televirtual presence.

The person who tapped me wanted me to configure his newly bought PC. I just spoke a few commands and the thing was up and running. Yes I spoke to it. Keyboard and mouse were now obsolete. PC's now come with inbuilt peripheral devices that enables users to input data and issue control via the mind. Originally designed for people who are physically challenged, it has gained massive entrance into the market as people preferred it to manual data input devices like touch screen pad and virtual data input. Also, computer systems now process information like a biological human brain. No longer in binary I.e zeros and ones. This means no more Assemblers, interpreters or compilers. This feature which was introduced in the 91st computer generation has made PCs more human friendly and faster as the overhead of compiling was eliminated.

Another determining factor for the PC's speed and improved performance was the unlimited storage device which makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information and the introduction of laser technology to replace the concept of transistors in the manufacture of chipsets like the CPU chip.Did I mention RAM was extinct?


House appliances like light LEDs, sound systems, TVs, micro wave, Phones, PDAs, PCs etc were all nuke powered. Each with an inbuilt nuclear cell with enough energy to power each device till the device's lifespan.
So there was absolutely no need for house electrical wiring. In fact, wires were fizzled out. Everything was wireless.


UVMs (ultra vehicular movement) were also nuke powered. UVMs can be compared to what was known as cars about one thousand years ago, but UVMs unlike cars were not limited to the ground alone, they don't use internal combustion engines, thus there was zero CO2 emission.
Green environment. To further clarify, everything ranging from non-biodegradable wastes to nuclear wastes were been recycled.

Venus and Mars has been terraformed and has long been a habitat for humanity. Infact in sports news, humans in Venus would be playing the Venus football cup final and in a fortnight, Venus 11 would play to host Earth 11 in an interplanetary match. Football, just like literature, stock exchange, law, creative arts etc were strictly human exercises

Humanoids are almost like humans in everything but the spiritual, biological and their characteristic blue colours.
They have taken over fields like medicine, agriculture, engineering, astronomy, military etc. All the aforementioned fields have recorded tremendous breakthroughs in twenty-five years, since the humanoids took over. More than ten times the total achievements that has been recorded since civilization:

Quantum inoculation has gotten rid of all diseases, Human longetivity has been increased dramatically, cataclysmic asteroids averted... However, despite the quantum leap in computer science, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, humankind were still plagued with disasters mainly Israeli - Arabian cyber war and artificial viruses. Artificial viruses stem from an unholy competition between rival OEM companies. These artificial viruses mutated to biologicals and not only affecting the humanoids but humans as well.

An artificial neural network connects almost everything, ranging from PDAs to humanoids and even humans via human interfaces. Each device is a node
of the neural network. Some conspiracy theories have it that the artificial neural spine has a consciousness of it's own and hence subliminally manipulative of the human mind.

**************************
PHEW!
Back to reality, this epistle is getting too long, please forgive my loose pen. (yawns)
I just projected my thoughts to one thousand years from now.
It may sound funny, awkward, unrealistic or even unreasonable but the truth is, solitary fictional thoughts aren't totally discarded by me.

If I may ask, what will the world look like in the fourth millennia in your own imagination?

Angelou:
Very beautiful write-up

Krystalzkris:
swear,I had already started living in this fantasy.

socially4fun:


Welcome back to reality
Where we still depend on oil and can't boast of 24/7 power in naija.

Krystalzkris:
this kind tin tire me sef... And the funny thing is this generation will die off before 3000AD.. And i wont be able to witness this sweet life

socially4fun:


Yeah. My point exactly.
Buh I guess most religions gives us hope as regards to a "sweet after life"

Krystalzkris:
after life my foot... The only life am sure of is this ,none else

socially4fun:


But that doesn't eliminate the possibility of an afterlife.

Krystalzkris:
there is no proof of an afterlife,if there was any,y do we die in d first place.. It would have made more sense if we lived forever..

socially4fun:


Neither has anyone disproved it by any logic logic. That something hasn't been proven yet doesn't make it nonexistent.

How do you explain the supernatural phenomena happening everyday?

Krystalzkris:
you cannot disprove something that has not been proven... Until,its proven to exist,it does not exist. Its now left for anyone claiming its existence to prove that it actually exists...btw,what supernatural phenomenom are you talking about

socially4fun:


You're correct. You cannot disprove something that hasn't been proven yet. But I fault your second argument, 'Until it is proven to exist it doesn't', since aliens hasn't been proven to exist yet, if tomorrow they come visiting in stealth mode, does that mean they've not been in existence? - just an instance.

About supernatural phenomena.

When the whites talk about atheism, I really don't give them much of an attention but when an African (I presume you are) talks about atheism, it really gives me a cause for concern. Aren't you aware of the black magic activities looming around?

johnydon22:

That the God you believe in has not been proven and you agree with this simply shows you just subscribe to an assumptive lay out of some people..

johnydon22:

What you dub supernatural are just phenomenons you don't yet understand or know how they were achieved.

We only have nature and nature do not have one specific way of working dubbing the phenomenons you may not understand yet supernatural only betrays the insecurity of that lack of knowledge, what ever manifestation of nature in this material world is within the confines of nature.

johnydon22:

[b]First of all you are an African and you subscribe to the idea of God that is UnAfrican.

Christianity and Islam are unafrican and were imposed on your ancestors by the foreigners at the expense of your own African beliefs and religion.

johnydon22:

Lastly belief in supernatural powers has nothing to do with being atheistic.

There are many atheists who believe in supernatural and your spirity mumbo jumbo (what makes them atheists are simply disbelief in Gods)

There are also theists who disbelieves the existence or potency of spirity shenanigans, this doesn't make them any less theistic..

So do not confuse belief in God/Gods with belief in spirity claims.. [/b]

Krystalzkris:
lemme still use ur aliens as an example,we all know we'v never seen one.. If u say they exist,describe them,tell us about their nature. Aliens might be in existence but for the fact that they have not been proven to really exist,they dont.. That's what I meant when I said that,and if they come visiting us,wow,i would be the first to believe they do exist,but until then,no way... What black magic activities are you talking about?

socially4fun:

That's where faith comes in. If all the concept of religion were logically proven, then, no need calling it faith any longer.

Take for instance astral travel. It defies the laws of physics and hence nature's. How best do you describe it if not supernatural? Or would you call it a sham?

It is termed evangelism. Spreading the good news.

I don't revere black magic. I was onlytrying to buttress a point. - There are things which science cannot explain. At least, not yet.

Really laughable. But I wasn't talking about magic tricks. I've long known it's a hoax

You're correct.
But I don't think I'm confusing belief in a deity with belief in spirity existence. Like I said earlier on, I was only trying to lay emphasis.

Also as you'd agree, most atheists don't believe in anything outside the confines of science. Talk more of spiritual beings.

Please don't get it twisted, I'm very much science inclined (enthusiast), but I just have that feeling there is more to this life; else what's the essence of life if we are here today and gone tomorrow, forever?

Lastly, despite we have contrasting views, I commend your use of polite words in countering my arguments.

socially4fun:

If black/white magic/sorcery is proven to exist to you, would you change your mindset?

johnydon22:
Exactly that is where "FAITH" the worst form of irrationality steps in. that you have "faith" does not make that your belief true, not even probably true. That you have "Faith" simply means you believe it whether it is true or not.

Faith is a very dishonest position, you shut out reason in the process of clutching on something by faith. you disregard truth when it comes along in order to hold on to your convictions. . That is intellectual dishonesty of faith.

johnydon22:

Lmao. . Astral travel is a projection of the mind, it is the mind nothing more. . why not go read about Astral travel and see..

Astral travels in no way defiles physics law or nature itself. . i wonder where you guys get these from. .nature do not have one way of manifestation. Please can you point to me the law of nature being defiled in Astral travel.

johnydon22:

The point then still remains CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM are unafrican religions and you are the one practising something that is unafrican, something you wanted to accuse Krystalzkris of. .

johnydon22:

I do not recall insulting you perhaps you should show me where i did?

socially4fun:

I think I mentioned it. Faith is something beyond human logic. Call it intellectual dishonesty if you please.


Well I'm not well groomed when it comes to the metaphysics, but don't make astral sound so simple


Iooolz I think I should invite my lawyer ... I never intended accusing krystalzkris. That's the last thing I'd do here. I mean, on what ground do I base my accusations?


I said, "I commend your use of polite words."

Hawkins, Hitchens, Stephen fry, to mention a few, debate against top religious scholars about atheism and on most occasions, they win the debate.

That been because philosophy, logic and science favours atheism against theism, little wonder an agnostic barely partakes in such.
Hence I'm backing out of this argument. Maybe you'll do well against a religious jingoist, who'd argue, quoting the Bible, Quran or Torah.

Alright...

johnydon22:
Alright...

menesheh:

Continue nah.
Am feeling it.

Hahahaha i like the guy's honesty. .

johnydon22:
Hahahaha i like the guy's honesty. .

socially4fun:

If black/white magic/sorcery is proven to exist to you, would you change your mindset?

menesheh:

He will soon realize his flaws as he continue researching.

Krystalzkris:
change my mindset about sorcery and magic? it depends on how good the proof is. its just the same as all these bad guys that use cards to deceive people,they'l tell u its magic,but if you look carefully its just some silly tricks.... people who do not Care to know how its done will still believe it as magic... hope you get my point...

socially4fun:


I get ur point lady. You don't believe in anything outside the perimeter of science, logic and philosophy.
To you, anything that has to do with wizardry, necromancy, soothsaying, Christian miracles... are not real. They're a hoax.

socially4fun:

Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Wiener Heisenberg, Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Steve jobs, Bill gates... to mention a few are all great minds who believe in God. so I find it a bit of an embarrassment for you to say I'll change my view if I do more research.
Or you are just been myopic about this subject matter; just like jonnydon22 said, being atheistic or theistic is a matter of individual choice, whether or not it appeals right to philosophical ethics. QED.
