Here's a prediction; 'humanity won't end with a bang, but will rather put itself to sleep at the mercy of an epidemic of boring.'

The fact that the world is so outraged by a boring ad campaign for a brand nobody really cares about is just one symptom of an era where everything appears to becoming increasingly mundane and predictable.

Everywhere you look, everything is so neat and perfect and obvious and boring.

Let's not forget that while maths and lots of data are indeed useful in many applications, they should in no way be in charge of creating 'things of interest'.

But our fascination with machines that are able to seemingly create perfect novelty appears to have dulled us into believing that this is what they should be doing.

The world doesn't need more words filling up screens.
