How will augmented reality influence the Destiny of Humanity?

My take on augmented reality is that it will hugely impact how we experience daily life on a practical level within the next decade. l’d say, however, it is essentially an advanced development of information processing, projection and environmental task integration. Whether this proves to a indispensable and valuable contribution to the spiritual destiny of humanity is debatable.

We are presently only scratching the surface of natural reality and human consciousness. Augmented reality science is a more of a supplemental adventure in the sphere of distraction and technological engagement, rather than a new, fundamental insight into purpose behind being a human being and understanding our potential collective, as well as individual contribution to the development of humanity.

Augmented reality will inevitably make our daily lives easier, whilst undertaking practical tasks, freeing us from our current dependency on separate technological devices to support task activities. By this l mean the inconvenient restriction of sitting at a static workstation, touching a computer to support larger scale work, or holding a mobile device like a smart phone or tablet.

The technological eye wear that the commercial pioneers of augmented reality systems are utilising will rapidly consign the majority of the smart devices we use today to the museum of obsolescence. No doubt there.

All this aside, is such technological progress really as impressive and magnificent as it seems?

 

Advanced Spiritual Beings

There are advanced spiritual beings who can purportedly:

• Change their physical form instantaneously, to adopt any appearance they like.
• Physically traverse global and planetary distance in the blink of an eye without being dependent on conventional physical modes of transportation to do so.
• Experience past, present and future as one continuum of reality, changing their conscious focus in any of these three states as necessary. This includes accurately predicting future events.
• Create solid physical objects and manifest them out of thin air.
• Move and manipulate large, solid physical objects without using direct physical touch or mechanical equipment.
• Transform a person’s conscious perception with a light, physical touch, enabling them to experience infinite love and bliss.
• Heal and restore even serious or terminal physical illnesses instantaneously, when orthodox medical professionals have exhausted all avenues of curative rehabilitation.
• Communicate with each other by telepathy with less effort than we do using the voice.
• Offer pragmatic, efficacious solutions to complex individual, national and international problems, which the implicated people were incapable of thinking of.

Taking the human capabilities outlined above on a purely hypothetical, conceptual footing, perhaps fewer than 200 people out of 7.4 billion people living on this planet are able to demonstrate these aptitudes. So, in this broader context, how impressive is augmented reality?

 

The Destiny of Humanity

Will augmented reality swiftly help humanity to achieve the crucial aspirations for development below?

• Cease to permit avoidable human death and degradation by starvation, when there is an abundance of food in the world.
• Ensure people do not unnecessarily suffer from illness and die of disease due to the lack of primary free healthcare and medicine.
• Live without war and deploying it as a routine solution to regional, national and international political and ideological conflicts and disagreements.
• Stop systemically destroying our living environment, locally and globally on a daily basis.
• Provide a basic, global standard of free education regardless of where people live, their social and economic status.
• Really understand what love is and express love freely without fear.

l suggest augmented reality can make no meaningful contribution to enable humanity to address the aforementioned six challenges of human existence.

If technology investors and corporations divested even 25% of money being lavished on the development of augmented reality systems, into a global, United Nations managed fund every year, we could purposefully begin to tackle some of these acute human challenges.

As humanity has demonstrated over the last 200 years, the prevalent tendency for the wanton destruction of life, the constriction of human freedoms in favour of centralised power, the furthering of commerce, the relentless quest for wealth, the provision of clever mechanical apparati and technology, have consistently taken precedence over the prosperity of human welfare and values.

A step change in Love is what humanity most needs, along with the sharing of global resource to the benefit of all people, no matter their nationality, race, religion or social standing.

Only this will restore and further the glory of the human race.
