Just read an article recently about what kind of technological transformation we will witness by 2040 i.e. in the next 20 years, wherein people’s most difficult work would be replaced by robots, and there will be 60-inch display theatre at homes, there seem to be foldable and rollable laptops that would be really thin. Indeed such information on technology advancement blows my mind wherein I find what a heaven the world is entering into in the coming decades.

However, there are certain things that I noticed don’t change at all despite industrialization, privatization, MNCs entering the country, and people upgrading themselves from a computer to a smartphone to get their work in minutes.

1) Greediness in human beings. I don’t think this is going to vanish anytime soon. The more I see advancement and growth, the more I find people running behind materialistic gains so much that they have forgotten their basic roots of being humans. Even some spiritual people are so hungry for achieving their calmness in life that they go to any extreme. Remember, no extreme is good, either in materialistic aspects or in terms of spirituality. We cannot live a life like a robot and neither can we abstain from all materialistic stuff completely to find actual peace of mind. No money can give you peace and no cutting off from reality can put you calm.
2) Tears and smiles will remain the same. When we lose a loved one, we will definitely cry and when we become truly happy, we will smile and laugh like anything. Despite AI and ML doing anything to show their presence in our lives, basic human emotions wouldn’t change as they are naturally built. When it hurts, tears roll out from our eyes and when our hearts become happy, we automatically live in peace.
3) The saas-bahu family dramas and office politics will continue as they existed since no one knows. I remember my mom telling me a story of how my grandmother was asked to leave her own house with my grandpa because her in-laws couldn’t afford to pay the bills of my dad and his siblings. This 80 years back story is still so relevant even now in the rural villages and even urban settings wherein families get divided just because of one sick mentality. It is not about money but that “one khotta sikka” who is present in every family or organization to make sure that happiness is short-lived.
