Future Shock 1972 Film by Alvin Toffler (Reflection)

         “Future shock is a personal perception of “too much change in too short period of time.”

             Way back 1972, it was opined that it was an Era of Disposable Body because of the fact that technology can able to make human life longer because of the electronic devices that can support human life also it can able to replace the body organs of human when it is not well functioning, the organs that are going to transplant like for example heart or kidney transplant came from human donors but maybe someday we do not need a donor anymore because there might be an invention of artificial body organs and that is a question way back 1972 if it is possible to happen, but I think it was already made on this present century, an artificial heart but it is just a temporary life support to a patient while waiting for the heart donor. Also they concluded that maybe in time bioengineers can also made artificial human organs that can work better than the normal.

 Technology can make almost everything possible. Technology can now redo human face to make it look better by means of rejuvenate surgery or plastic surgery. Also because of technology our skin color can possibly be change according to our preference by means of skin pigmentation and this can confuse us whether what race those who undergone this procedure belongs to. Technology already created a machine that can able to see, hear, touch and smell—the so called robots that can also respond to changes around them like a living organisms and because of this invention there was another conclusion made that we might one day, replicate man his form, body, actions and reactions which was carefully engineered by scientists – we might create someday an artificial humans. Who will know? Maybe in the future humans will live in this world together with artificial man and because they are engineered carefully, it might cause us to find it difficult to distinguish them from real humans.

 What if everything becomes different? Like for example they become our ruler and we are their follower? Maybe I’m just imagining too much for uttering these but who will know? Like what is already said technology can make almost everything possible but it also brings us a relief, consider the statement itself, the word ‘almost’ makes the difference, because many impossible things might made possible but the word ‘almost’ connotes that not everything can be made possible. There is still time, we can still prevent Future Shock for the benefit of all mankind.
