Scenario 1: There is almost no difference between the population density of a city and a village throughout the whole world. Both villages and cities are quiet. The only difference lies in the infrastructure. Most people live in villages with their families. No distance from family members for the sake of education, job, or anything. Everybody fulfills his/her needs from home. Sounds great! Right?
The condition is the same in one aspect for both our present world and the past world: cities have much more population density than villages. Job, travel, education institutes, medical centers, markets, everything is in cities. Those who are able, prefer to stay in the cities.
Now, is it possible to reach scenario 1? If we look at the current world trend, we can see how everything is turning online: businesses becoming online, government works becoming online (passport, national identity card issuing, etc.), shopping becoming online. One day soon, we may have little works left offline.
The reason why people gather in the cities, in most cases, is doing their jobs. People get a lot of trouble because of their jobs. They may have to leave their family at home or live in a hard place in the city. But the current trend in our world is leaning towards freelancing and online jobs. The employers are also eager to employ workers online. If the trend continues positively, most of the jobs will be online and offices will operate through the internet. This most likely will take us to scenario 1.
There are many freelancers in our country, Bangladesh. Many successful freelancers have a high range of income. If this number continues to grow, almost everyone will move to freelance works and gradually all will start working online and getting things done online. Not only graphics design or data entry works, but also other working sectors will develop online: education sector, medical sector. If these jobs go online, then one day we will not have to keep ourselves busy offline. People go to the cities to study, to get a job, to get medical treatment. But if we do these things online, then there is no need to go to the cities. People will gradually become villagers. How lovely! Villages are online, quiet, fresh, and with the love of relatives.
The world is changing fast. InshaAllah we might see scenario 1 soon enough. There will be a combination of peace and ease in the world.
