{life.ideas} Sci-Fi

Year 2007. Yes, that's future and I am just fancying sharing my Utopia with you. My sci-fi post.

You would have a unique ID tied to your credit card.

There would be no centralized news websites. The reporters would blog the hell out of the news in their blogs. The team-workers, would establish a collective "news-blog" and update it every half an hour. You would be charged a tiny amount to know what is going on in the world.

There would be no traditional news groups. Everybody would share and discuss an idea through a collective weblog, a "grouplog". You need your unique ID to ask a question. No anonymous questions allowed. Your ID is tied to your credit history, so you won't simply spam others or that would ruin your credit. You can of course adopt a nickname if you are shy to ask your sex-related questions under your real ID.

You would not email reports to your boss, but rather share them on the company's blog. Note that a blog might be private and available to a number of authorized IDs.

You would not send an article to a technical journal, you'd just upload it on the journal blog "jourlog", and let other scholars judge your work. When real people comment and criticize your work, others would have a better chance of rating your work.

There would not be different media players, but rather media blogs, "midilog"s, so that you can catch up the old and new hits. Each time you listen to something, a minimal amount is charged to your credit card. It would be a fraction of a cent, so you wouldn't care. Given that millions listen to a song per day, the artists will have sth to eat next day. Why should Yahoo, MSN, RealOne, etc. benefit from others talents? I would rather pay it all to the artist.

The list can go on, but I am too sleepy to ramble more.
