In class we discussed a lot of inventions so I decided to research future technology. I was curious to find out what new inventions will the future bring to us. I found an article that talk about some of the futures technology that is expected in the future. By the year 2050 Brazilians have a vision of a new vehicle. “This vehicle is powered by 90hp electric motor and features aluminum body structure for urban use. The concept uses less energy to help prolong your ride and is equipped with various equipments that improve driver’s interaction with the other vehicles” ( http://itechfuture.com/tag/future-inventions/). There will be a kitchen of the future in which families can cook watch TV and dine all at the same time. There will also be a future music player from 2020 from apple where people would not need earphones. It will have ultra sound waves that will travel straight through the inner ear.
However there is a polemic and people are scared with all these new technologies because people are scared of the number 666, the number of the beast. According to www.bible.prophecy.com/techmark.htm, there will be a time where people will have a smart card implanted in them where they will have their money ids and passports and any other paper or document they will need. Already we have something similar according to the article it is called Mobilspeedpass, where when you want to make a payment you just wave this thing and it processes the payment for you. The technology is getting very advanced and I feared that this passage in the bible on revelation 13:11-18 will occur soon. The passage says “ Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that he could speak and caused all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had that mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:11-18)
With so many advances in technology and new inventions popes, priests and many people are afraid that the men will surpassed God and this prophecy will come to life. However, we should live the present as is and just hope the best for the future, because no one knows when this will happen.
