Eutopia...


Eu·to·pi·a


noun Obsolete .

place in which human society, natural conditions, etc., are so ideally perfect that there is complete contentment.

When i think of a Utopia i think of nice green fields with everyone living together in harmony. When it comes to a technological view of this they are set in the future, when it is believed that advanced science and technology will allow utopian living standards; for example, the absence of death and suffering; changes in human nature and the human condition. Technology has affected the way humans have lived to such an extent that normal functions, like sleep, eating or even reproduction, have been replaced by artificial means. 

If we look upon technological advancements in this way, i would say that through the digital revolution and the search for perfection, the human race is looking to science to create a world of ease and sustainable, with very little effort being needed. An easy world where we can do and have what we want at the click of a button. Not having to rely on people could create a Utopia but separate Utopias for everyone. Such as a virtual Utopia where the world is who that individual wants it to be, whether the perfect partner, house, job or car, all virtually there and yours for the taking.
