futuristic Thinking???

Today, while typing a letter, i accidentally keyed in 2998 in the year column instead of 2008, due to the proximity of the two numbers '0' and '9' in the keyboard. That actually led me to think about life in 2998... A couple of decades back, if someone had told me that 'video chat' was possible , i wouldn't have believed it. i am not saying that i am techno-savvy now, but those days, i never ever imagined that i would be taking part in such a discussion, in this particular manner. This is 2008. Everything is accessible to the common man.. but what of 2998? How can technology increase further? Or has it reached a stagnating point? I am rather old fashioned, and still cannot digest those wierd cartoons' like DragonballZ, Pokemon and the such that are preferred by children worldwide.To me, a cartoon should be cute and funny. Thinking about the present 'cartoons' that are aired on tv,i am getting a rather unpleasant feeling in the pit of my stomact.. Is this trend a prelude to the actual life that is soon to come? Are the present human race giving away to senseless and mindless robots, with their bodies of steel? Are we paving the way for the future generations, who consider expression of any sort of emotion, as a sign of weakness? Intolerance has always been the trade mark of the primitive man, who believed in nothing less than killing his enemy. The present civilised human beings took a long time to evolve, with their power of reasoning, and the ability to forgive. But looking at the level of intolerance that is steadily spreading it's vicious tentacles all around, there is a nagging fear in my mind.. Is this a cyclic factor? Will we become primitives in mind and soul again? I pray that this is just the stupid ramblings of an over-imaginative mind and nothing more. I pray that the feelings of equality, solidarity, and peace envelops the world and that all it's inhabitants stands united, just as we, in Mylot, belong to one beautiful world!
