The true potencial of today’s technology

After some time now I’ve desided to start some blogging. Its about time in these days I belive, i feel like the last person on earth now. All though I already have a blog, but its related my work on Idefagskolen, where I’ve been studying 3D design since fall 2008, and will finish this summer. Since i was a younger kid I’ve always found technology interesting, but not on the usual mainstream level. Technology becomes really interesting for me when its combined with art and philosophy. I belive we have come to a point in our technological evolution (if you will) where we’ve been blinded by the fun and the mass of infomation, so that we don’t fully see the potential of our knowledge, that we can change the society to our best. Though it wouldn’t be easy to make a such change over the night, I belive in a world without money nor politics. As I see it, the problem today with such a world is the humankinds hunger for power. If we learn to let go of the egoistic power we try to win and maintain, we will be able to live in an selfproducing, healthy world, where the technology gives us the possibility to live life as we want it without being forced to work. Where machines can do our work, under our controll. Of course it’s complicated to get to a such point, but hope takes us closer than nothing at all. Some of you have might heard about The Venus Project, which is of sorts what Im talking about. If we add some conspiracy to the whole idea, you’ll see that our political- and economical system today isn’t working as good as we belive it to do. And some people might be using this to make us their “slaves”, or making us giving them all the control of our lives, since those are the people we think to trust. I hope, as the rest of you, that this isn’t true. All though I will currage you all to take a look at the movie called “Zeitgeist: Addendum” (free to watch at Google video here).
