I was logging onto yahoo to get my e-mail and I saw this article that seemed to really grab my attention. It is all about how the moon will eventually disintegrate, the earth too! As I was reading this article, that projected a future trillions of years from now, I sat here wondering what the world would be like then. I also sat here wondering what scientists of our past thought about our current times. I know there was a lot of projections that in 3 years from now we would be living on the moon, like that will happen! I also know that a lot of technology they thought up even 30 years ago are slowly coming into our daily lives. Remember Star Trek, with the little button to push simply to communicate with their ship? Well now we have our own walking cyborgs, my own Dad being a victim. With a press of the button, not only can you communicate with the mother ship, but all the other folks in that handy dandy phone book you have attached to your hip. The Internet was a thing that not many could even imagine. No one estimated the effects it would have on the whole world! It is wha, 12 years old and already 4 and 5 year old children are learning how to use it? Companies are built upon it... I am still waiting for the day when all I have to do is think my thoughts instead of having to type it all out, but I am sure the day will come. After all, we do have some wonderful voice recognition programs. It would definitely help getting these ridiculous tunes I often have running through my head out. Just put on my music maker thought machine and presto, a new song has been written!
I digress, the whole point of this blog is simply to say, the future is so far away, and not so much closer than we sit to think about. It really made me appreciate all the comforts I have today. America is certainly a country built on comfort... Also, I simply wanted to voice my simpathy for the future generations when the moon may be a thing in the history books.
