Towards a Shared Vision: Exploring the Future for a Better Tomorrow

 So hear this, my daughter was tasked to create a poster illustrating the theme 'Towards a Shared Vision: Exploring the Future for a Better Tomorrow'. I would have never guessed that 'poster making contests' would come back to haunt me after 30 years.

Brainstorm.

So, what would all people (yes, this time inclusive of LGBTQ+ and people of color because it's 2024, *yawn*. ) need in the future? A robot that follows you around everywhere and has the ability to transform into a toilet whenever the need arises. You may be at your sad work cubicle and have to go, or at the dining table with your loved ones, or maybe stressing out during an important examination at school. The robotoilet will be there for you. The restrooms will be a thing of the past.

Stupid?

No. Phone cameras are stupid. Do you remember the time when cameras were just cameras and mobile phones were just mobile phones? Who the fuck thought that it would be a good idea to integrate phones with cameras? Was there ever really a need to capture a photo of something while you are speaking on the phone? There wasn't. Not until idiot humans came up with vlogging (and that was decades later after the technology became available).

In conclusion, technology isn't stupid if it's available to the common idiots.
