What Next For Human Beings?

When I sit back and just think about life and how much things have changed over the years, I honestly just nod my head like, wow, Human beings have really come far sometimes I look at my mom and imagine how life was then for them when she was a child, then I compare it to how things are now , Omo, it us like we are living in two different worlds.

I mean, just look at us now ,almost everything we do is online, You see from food delivery, shopping, dating, reading, watching movies, even school and office work, all are online, See before, people used to walk miles just to pass a message to someone,but now we just press phone, evolution is real o , and we are living inside it.

Now when I hear the question like "What is the next step for human evolution?" honestly, I think it is scary and interesting at the same time, because the way I see it, we are becoming just too connected to our devices. If evolution continues like this, I feel like we human beings are going to be so attached to technology that we will not even be able to do some basic things without it.

See , sometimes I just even imagine that in the future,we human beings will not need to walk again , we will just sit in one place and machines will do everything, Like you will be working, ordering food, talking to your doctor, attending church, doing everything right from your bed, yeah...It sounds nice for comfort sake, but when you think about it deeply ,it is just ow-key scary.

I do feel that we will be more mentally sharp because we are always feeding our brains every second with information, but emotionally and physically we might not be as strong as how our parents were, I mean,just look at us already , when small phone off If there's no light someone’s mood is already ruined for the whole day. See even me i'm guilty sometimes, let me not lie. Lol....

And don’t even get me started on social connection, Human then used to gather, sit under the moon, gist, play, dance. Now, it’s “I will text you,” or “Let's do video call,” or “Send me voice note.” There is connection, yes, but the human touch is reducing, I think the next evolution is going to be mostly emotional , how to balance tech life with real life.

On the positive side, I believe some things will get better, I think that people will be more health conscious, I think the next evolution might involve us understanding our bodies even more, People are now more intentional with eating healthy, doing exercising, going to therapy, and even being more self-aware,I just pray that we don’t lose the beauty of being human along the way.

Sometimes I even joke with my friends that maybe in the future, babies will come with little chips already installed in them, so they can start learning ABC from the womb. ...LOL, imagine that, But if we are being honest, technology is moving like that, it is only time that will now tell.

But you see at the end of the day, evolution is something that will not stop, but what just matters most is that in all the changes whether it is physical, mental, emotional, or digital , we do not lose who we are as people. Let the change come, but let us still keep our heart, our love, our community, and our humanity, because those are the real things that truly make us a human.

So yeah....... evolution will always continue, but I just hope it will continues in the right direction.
