Rate Your Self


Rate Your Self

In the near future there will be no examinations anymore. Anyone could learn, teach himself and rate himself through the internet. Who then wants a Master’s, a PhD degree?

The exam questions could be found in the internet. The candidate, there are no barriers of education, of gender, of age, of place, of time, ... anyone can answer the questions; given a limited time. Then he could see the right answers, know what’s right, wrong to his answers and so rate himself. Private. No one knowing his rating.

Knowing that you rate high you certainly are proud and you eagerly want that the whole world know this but when your rating is poor you don’t want anyone to know it. That’s just plain knowing one’s self, common sense, not psychology.

When you think you’re a genius, then you should, could compete openly, not so much as designing the most ingenious, prestigious bridges, ships, fastest jets, that’s nothing, but designing a modern space city, a deep ocean city, a deep underground city, clone creatures that are extinct and bring them, the mammoth, dinosaur, ... back to life and be the champion in the world, watched on the internet as the Olympic Games on TV.

That’s a challenge, that would be really great, really a feat which is not impossible in the future. Stephen Hawking even asserts that it is theoretically possible  to travel in time, to the future or the past.
