Overview

Tense+ is a society-changing piece of entertainment that by 2073 has become a part of the human consciousness: a new Tense.

Tense+ is used to share experiences with others, from the past, present, and future. One can live-stream, upload, download, and save memories so that they can share their life with others. This new form of storytelling gives way to a new renaissance of human empathy and a society founded upon understanding others.

What’s society like in 2073?

Through the universal use of Tense+ a society based upon empathy has been founded. People no longer act in evil or hateful ways because they have the empathy to understand the pain their actions cause. People have the option to work in whatever field they choose and develop new experiences that will function as a form of exchange currency. To better understand how we reach this future, please take a look at the timeline linked below which provides a framework for how we will arrive at such a future.

The timeline describes in detail the evolution of society and Tense+

Beginnings

Tense+ was made possible by global leaders who collectively agreed and pledged to help with human evolution and re-education as a tool to connect people through visually sharing their first-person perspective. By re-educating society to help develop a new sense called Tense+ there is a shift in the mindset of people who are empowered by this new ability to share their ideas and passions with society. In 2073 people can collaborate and express themselves in different ways through music and entertainment. In the following video, you will see an example of a person having the exit indicated to them by another individual using their Tense+ instead of speech or pointing.

Experiences and the Experience Economy

Experiences are a new form of media that completely reconstructs our society. They’re used as a form of bartering and this new Experience Economy system encourages the acquirement of new experiences, knowledge, services, and even collaborations. Tense+ has strengthened education, social structure, and culture as we know it through music and entertainment. In this way, Tense+ does not replace reality but aims to enhance it.

Tense+ in Entertainment

Tense+ does not replace the music and entertainment that we see today. Tense+ is accessible to the whole world and it provides accessibility to every user who utilizes the ability of creative instruments and recording equipment for all artists. You can download the experience of a set of drums or whatever instrument you wish in front of yourself and then use the equipment to create music. Additionally, entertainment through Tense+ is an interactive experience within reality. Anything that can be imagined could be turned into an entertainment experience. Instead of reading Harry Potter, you can dive into the world of wizardry as a peer of Harry’s as though you were physically there. When people sit down after a day of work, they can download experiences from other people within society to feel the same sensation or they can create their own. See below for an example of such.

P.S. In 2073 there will be no more bed bugs.
