Welcome to the future, it's 2017.
Have we all enjoyed watching as every one of our fears has come to pass? Perhaps not in the way we imagined but they're all there.
Welcome to a world where you carry your very own CCTV camera, complete with microphone and GPS tracking.
Where you can pay for everything with not your card but a swipe of a phone/watch or ring, next step microchip in your skin?
Walk in to a store without seeing a single member of staff.
Hate everyone different yet?
Getting sick or old no longer an option unless you're super rich?
The corrupt are leading the world and kindness to fellow humans is seen as a weakness?
Food is grown in laboratories and covered in poisons that make you sick.
Saving for everything puts you at a credit disadvantage than someone with thousands of pounds of debt.
Education leaving children with a feeling of hopelessness, that they'll never be 'good enough for anything'.
World peace seen as an impossibility, war being something that's natural to humans as breathing.
Being someone who sees any of this as wrong feeling more and more like a freak.....
I get so angry and frustrated by it all and not being able to communicate to someone why certain news reports get me angry. When in my head I'm connecting the dots as to what the story actually means, where it's going to lead us.
My predictions?
The NHS will be run in to the ground with private health insurance becoming the option for the rich.
Less retail jobs being available, more people on job seekers.
More prejudice in the UK, everyone is going to blame anyone other than the government for our problems.
More people will have trouble with banks and cards, with banks and hackers disabling accounts for one reason or another.
Manufactured war to distract everyone from the above predictions.
