Nicki, if you do the AI topic, could you do an article or a dossier YouTube video about how the meta verse (or something similar, should that not take off) could effect the future?
My theory is that when we are elderly, we will rarely see younger people out and about, because they will all be in their homes, living in virtual reality. There will also be many elderly people living this way.
A virtual world could have many fun things, and could be a nice way to spend a few hours when the weather is awful, and all the housework is done, but I could easily see it becoming so many peoples lives. It’s simultaneously fascinating and scary.
Great idea! It reminds me of the movie Wall-e or that (pretty bad) Bruce Willis movie, Surrogates. I think sci-fi has such an important role in being able to help us hypothesize the dangers and implications of technology, but we seem to be so far removed already that we only look to books and movies for entertainment, smh.
The final boss is ... you.
The AI topic sounds infinitely fascinatinf!

Oh no! The idea that everyone in the future is obese and lives in floating chairs is literally going to keep me up at night!
Well said! Hope you have a great 2023 Nicki ♥️
Thank you, you too!
Yes, you can’t make New Year’s resolutions without actually working towards them. I definitely agree.
