“Sparky, what is the weather like today?”
“Ms. Kim, it is 17 degrees, 2% humidity, and 24% chance of rain by 15:30. Is there anything else I can help you with this morning?”
No that is all. End.
Date back just to before the 2nd millennium, and finding the answer to this simple question meant tuning into our local weather station or taking out or laptops to google the weather. As of 2025, we surely have come far in our technological developments.
It’s all about speed, speed, speed. A simple request to our in-home intelligence personal assistant and knowledge navigator, Sparky, we can now get information through a single voice request. Need the local news? Sparky’s got it. Want to know the status of the stock market? Sparky’s your pal. Maybe you want to find out the best sushi restaurant in your neighborhood? Yes, sparky even has access to all your apps like “Yelp” and “Travel Advisor” to filter through the highest and most ranked restaurants in your area.
We’re also all about being eco friendly. It’s taken quite some time to realize that printed newspapers and magazines are actually useless when everything can be archived onto a digital platform. With a subscription to access, news is not only filtered through the web, but it Sparky can also help with finding out specific information that you request. If you primary interests are for international affairs, Sparky can retrieve articles from different resources such as CNN, PBS, and New York Times. Since now all major news companies are owned by Google, we pay one single subscription to access our news. This way, readers are more informed while getting feedback from many different sources and writers. Same scripts have circulated through many TV news stations, and this has been done this for quite some time… we thank our lucky stars this concept has entered the journalism industry as well.
Let’s not forget about our social media… In fact, let’s never forget about our social media. Any common man can say that the big three—Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram—has truly changed the way we socialize, advertise, and capitalize. Almost all companies have moved their promotion and advertising onto these digital platforms. Through the help of hashtags and tagging, we have moved our entire world into the digital world more than ever before. This means, Coca-cola can raffle off a 500k trip to Bora Bora in the same way a 45 year old soccer mom can promote her ceramic cups. Of course, you can multiply your audience by paying a lump some of money to advertise more on these sites. However, the world as we know it has moved from reality into a world of 0’s and 1’s. Now that’s a crazy thought to think about.
Yes, everyone. We are the new pioneers—the explorers of the digital world. We are 2025.
