For the people born in the new millennium, I have observed that it is harder to imagine. They have been brought up with TV and computers and other visual elements around them. They have been isolated from books and stuff.
How do you imagine something when everything is presented in visuals and images to you already? There is no scope for individualistic thoughts when your imagination is taken away. Therefore not only are the people of this generation less imaginative, they are also less intelligent.
When you read books, you imagine all the details in your own way. But when you dont read books, you only see and do not imagine. That is why, a book is always better than it's movie adaptation. You imagine it in your own way and the director's interpretation doesn't match (in most cases).
With time, as imagination is slowly and completely repressed, it is easy to control people. Maybe George Orwell's prophetic vision in his book "1984" might come true, albeit a little later.
Reading is vital for imagination. If you read, you develop your own thoughts, apart from learning volumes. And once you stop to imagine, once people stop to imagine, we lose our ability to be different. We cannot form our own belief system. our own consciousness.
Then we become just another brick in the wall. We become sheep, we follow what is told. Instead of machines gaining consciousness, I think it is more likely that humans become like machines.
From this, many side effects will follow. It might be proper to say that these side effects are the actual desired outcome and will benefit the capitalistic society. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I say that all this is a planned operation by the corporate and capitalistic forces.
People already believe that one has to look "good" to be happy, one has to be fashionable to be happy. You know at some level that this is not true. But yet, still follow it anyway. Why is that? Because, you cannot think for yourself and believe that this is true.
I dread the arrival of this age and hope I'll be long gone before it comes.
