Evolution of Man

I have something to declare. I have changed mentally. The way i communicate, the method i use to think has changed and the way i talk has even changed. What the hell am i blabblering here? No doubt that i have passion to write and i like to write. But the content that i wrote nowaday seems to be broken and its clustered everywhere without a deep meaningful meaning. Rather, it is another surface content, with ideas and information here and there. Information and feelings that drift from my brain to the keyboard i am using right now, typing this out. Funny feeling, isn't it?

I was read this article by MM and Nicolas Carr and it simply stunned me. I was surprised but i was not shocked. Deep thought.... .... .... Then i realised that what they say is very true. WE have changed as a human kind itself. WE are evolving. We are changing to the new era post internet. Some might fear it, as it really changed the way we communicate daily, the way we read and etc etc etc. Scary but its true. *I will be surprised you are willing to finish reading the whole article by them and mine!* Seriously!

You see, i read a lot, i mean a lot. Daily! I browse through information like gigabytes of memories and clusters of random informations and datas ranges from political news, fashions, ideas, cars, blogs, travels and sports all into one. I simply can't survive one day without getting informations into my brain. Its like i am getting dried. I need information. This crazy phenomenon, which i am referring to, is called "information junkie", a term used by me.

C'mon! Lets sit down and make some thinking. Some deep thought. How often DO YOU not spending your time not doing online reading? Can you simply lock out yourself from computer and internet for maybe 1 week? By then, you are simply outdated by a week. Can you adapt to it?

I believe that all of us, that uses computers and internet faces this problem. I might be wrong. I have talked less, i communicate via MSN and bloggint more than using my mouth. We talk in MSN to our friends more than we talk face to face. My family communicates more effectively using blogging and MSN more than face to face. I have less and less call to my mom, although the charges is getting cheaper. Bruneians even uses their mobile phones to MSN rather than just use a calling function. Friends uses SMS to send the word OK, rather than to call and say OK! Its like a borderless world, where there are no restriction of geographical area anymore.

Lets break it down further (again, my ideas comes and goes), i think our education system have to be change, FAST! We are still using the old traditional methodologies of teaching to our new and younger generations of kids. C'mon! Imagine and understand this:

40% of humans received information via visual (eye sight)
40% of humans received information via kino (touching and feeling)
20% of humans received information via audio (hearing)

OMG! Only 20% of us listen? Yeah! You are absolutely correct. Btw, the information above is not a pluck out of the sky, but rather a scientific analysis done and its a common knowledge to anyone that reads.

Only a handful of us really understand anything we listen to. 20% to be exact plus or minus. The majority of us, 80%, to be exact, actually understands via visualizing, imagining, feeling and touching the information. PLUS, of course, with the addition of internet at the touch of our fingertips, i believe the method of visualizing becomes even more important.

We need to change the way we communicate effectively. More graphics, more pictures, more visuals is the way of the future.

Have you ever tried looking into a person eyes and know what are they thinking about? Are we perceiving using our senses via visual, kino, feelings and thinking or are we using our audio (hearing)? It is also a common knowledge that more than 80% of communication is done via body language rather than sounds. But, the wonders of internet really move us and propel us to the future.

i believe in the future, humans will communicate between themselves using visual and kino only. Its an evolution. Maybe human 100 years down the road will use their mobile devices to communicate. Perhaps something like a super chip that transmite informations implanted into their body. We will be having our meeting at Starbucks, one from Rio de Janeiro, one from London and another from Tokyo, by using only a super LCD projector screen looking at each other without actually speaking. We will be communication via that super chip implanted into our body, remember? The world will be peaceful and very quiet then. Hahahaha.

So, remember, don't blame and angry with your wife/husband, your boyfriend/girlfriend, family or friends if they SEEMS not to be listening. Its not that they are not listening. its just evolutionary that we communicate via our LCD screen through our monitor.

People changed, we have changed. Be prepared!
