 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: What if instead of today's technological advancements, we could have magical advancements? Which would be more powerful – magic or our new technology? Write a story, poem, or anything else you like. I can just imagine: No more long lines in airplane travel or blocked and slow-moving traffic, no more cars, trains, buses trucks, etc.; instead, broomsticks, teleportation spells, telepathy. Heaven! Diseases could be cured with a flick of a wand or a well-brewed potion, drastically increasing life expectancy. Instead, healing spells and potions. No more physics, chemistry, computer science, Ai, etc. Instead, we would be learning about different types of magic, potion-making, and spell-casting. Best yet, we might harness magical energy for power, reducing or even eliminating our reliance on fossil fuels, to solve many environmental issues. Plus, new forms of security would be developed, and for instance, protective spells could be more common than physical locks, passwords, electronic keys, etc., and law enforcement would use truth spells during investigations. The economy would change, too. New industries based on magic would emerge and professions like Potion Master or Spell Creator could become very popular career choices. On the other hand, ethical questions about the usage of certain types of magic could arise. Arguments and conflicts between those proficient in magic and those who are not could lead to social inequalities. Misuse of magic could also become a significant issue. It would be a whole new learning, though. Yet, come to think of it, I'd rather live with magic than any new technology (at the moment, Ai), which very few people know how to use it or misuse it. And the rest of us, especially the elderly and those who have no techy background, flail about losing their way. . |
