Future Diary – May 15th 2100

May 15th, 2100

“I feel strange today. It’s been a week since I got my new neural implant, and I’m still adjusting to it. The doctors said that it would enhance my memory and cognitive abilities, but I didn’t expect it to feel so… foreign. It’s like there’s a constant buzzing in my head, and I can’t seem to focus on anything for too long without feeling overwhelmed.

I worry about what this means for the future. If we keep augmenting ourselves with technology, what will happen to our humanity? Will we become machines, devoid of emotion and empathy? I fear that we’re losing touch with what it means to be human, and that we’re creating a future that’s even more bleak than the one we’re living in now.

But then I remember why I got the implant in the first place. I wanted to be better, faster, smarter. I wanted to keep up with the demands of a world that’s changing faster than I can keep up with. And maybe, just maybe, this is the price I have to pay. But I’ll keep writing in this diary, to remind myself of who I am, and where I came from. To remind myself that even in this strange new world, there’s still hope for a brighter future.”
