When I was young I thought about the future to which the technological advances of our time would take us always towards an easier, more comfortable life. I saw that after the hardships in which my parents lived my generation did not lack anything, food, shelter, leisure. All our needs were covered and then, other needs appeared that became essential and that ended with the dreamed future to turn it into a future described in "1984" where the leading leadership oppresses the people by handling information, where we survive thanks to the aid of the government that fights against our maximum enemy that is inequality, the oppression of previous regimes, the extreme right, businessmen and any other that are invented to divert our attention from reality. Our leaders only think of improving their own lives, of keeping us oppressed and grateful for saving us from oppression.
But, life is a wheel: ‘Difficult times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times.’
I think we have completed another wheel, thanks to the struggle of a few, all the lies are being uncovered. Technocrats rule over ideologues again. Votes at the polls are now won with empirical realities and not with fears of the past or ideals of the future. Technological advances are again at the service of the population and our leaders are again walking among the people listening to their needs and trying to improve our future.
