What if the future is not a Minority Report, but a God-like voice caring after everyone, everywhere?

The problem with a notebook and paper in general is that you have to physically hold it and look for information wherever you go. Something that was very revolutionary with the iPhone and software as a service era was that it enabled something small to be with you and be synced to everything you had. It enabled everyone to ask Siri, for example, to set up a to-do for them when they were in a car, and once they were in their office, the two of us automatically had a calendar on the desktop. This is a very huge difference because it's enabled people to be more integrated into the medium. It made losing information a lot harder; if your notebook is stolen, then you're badly in trouble, but if your iPhone is stolen, only the body of the information is gone; you can simply go and buy another iPhone, and everything will come back to it; no information is ever lost now.

Now imagine a whole new future where there is one central computer that knows everything about everyone. Something like Siri recognizing your voice everywhere. So you walk to the street, and you have this idea; you don't need to have a phone with you; all you have to do is start talking with that computer that is available like electricity everywhere. In the middle of the street, you just say, “Hey, can you remind me to pick up my coffee at [ somewhere I need to remember]?” You may even go to a store, and the voice in that store says, “Hey, you have to buy this thing here; remember that.”

Think about it. We are grown into believing that the future of technology is something like The Minority Report or 1984, where there is a big eye watching everyone. But now think about this future: one very voice that knows you fully is everywhere watching you. This will be like God actually taking care of you.

This is a whole new dimension to humanity and the concept of cities and countries. I always felt that crime originated from the fact that people got strangers to each other. If you go to a very small town or a village, you will hardly see crime because everyone is relatives and friends of each other, and doing something bad makes everyone that you know angry with you. But move to a city, and most of the people you see every day are strangers. You probably don't even see people twice. That creates the room for crime. But now think about the world where everywhere you go, there's this voice that knows you, you're never alone in the world, and if you do something bad, that voice will be upset with you, will be disappointed in you. On the other hand, wherever you go is a place of safety to you. Someone who wishes to steal something never steals from their neighbors and home; they do it somewhere wherever they feel they are a stranger. Then just think about it: how would it be possible to steal something if everywhere you go feels like home?

I think it would be a whole new dimension to safety and peace in a world where there's a God-like system watching over everyone equally (if the system is created the way my vision sees it without someone trying to profit from it, if it truly sees everyone as equals and tries to protect them).

I think it would be one of the previous and the last stages of humanity walking towards a mind’s singularity, by which I mean every mind connected to each other in a way that everyone's memories and feelings are shared with each other, and then everyone becomes one person. I think the world where everyone always feels at home and safe would be a huge walk forward towards happiness and actual total peace.
