System Study Focus
How will people connect with one another 100 years from today? What will constitute meaningful social relationships? How will communities be built and sustained in the real world, the virtual world, and beyond?
Our Vision
In the next century, we will witness a radical shift in how humans connect, breaking through the boundaries of Earth. Our group envision a world where interplanetary communication becomes a daily reality. Humans will be engaging with extraterrestrial species, or Aliens, fostering a new era of cosmic socialization through advanced satellite-supported social media platforms.
Why is it important?
Communicating with extraterrestrial beings is significant because it could radically expand our understanding of the universe and our place within it. Such contact promises not only scientific and technological advancements but also a profound shift in our philosophical perspectives. This endeavor symbolizes humanity's enduring curiosity and aspiration to be part of a broader cosmic community, potentially leading to a future where we are interconnected with diverse forms of life and intelligence across the cosmos, thereby enriching our collective knowledge and existential comprehension in unprecedented ways.
