Old Fools Journal: The Future
In the words of Mister Natural "What does it all mean?".
*THEM - Anyone other than US. It's subjective but tends to be those we perceive as being different from us. Never mind that every human on this earth bleeds, loves their children, grows hair in the same places, has fingernails, regrets going bald, has birthdays, mistrusts politicians, takes food in through the mouth, shits, grieves, picks their nose, cheats on their spouse, has thumbs and dies. THEM is Pretty much US.

I'm never sure why people make these. It's interesting, but I don't see what I can do about it. It also assumes that our economy and environmental excesses (and therefore development of technology and the budgets for this) will remain constant indefinitely, which I'm not convinced of either.
There is nothing to be done about it. It just is. Interesting I think is the key word. Interesting like much ants outnumber humans by a million to one or there are more cigarette smokers in China than the U.S. has people.
Oooh. I love that tingle in my spine everytime I am confronted with facts like these.
Workbike is right (will they really be making computers in 2049 or will we all be coveting our neighbour's piece of flint?), but man, just thinking about it. Whoo ha!
