THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS

I wanted to write "Where will you be in the next One Hundred Years!"  Answer:  Dead.     So I'll change it to the next fifty years...although I'll probably be dead anyway.   69 + 50 = 119 (Maybe?)  People are living longer and longer these days.

In my high school days we had to write a composition on What would the Year 2000 be like.  That was in 1961 and at the age of 18...I could not even imagine that.    But it is now 2012; and I am still here.   The projections were space travel, moving sidewalks, cars that flew above the roadways...not just the ones that FLY on the roads.  Cities enclosed in domes.  Robotic police patrolling the cities.  Camera's watching the roadways, and streets of the cities.  Outrageous clothing, well we did accomplish that one!  Technical advances in the Medical field...study of the chromosomes, the pathway of life itself.    Telephones that can see you as you talk to someone on the other side of the world.   Our cars are now talking to us, and parking themselves.  We have weapons that can destroy our world ... and we pray that they are not put into the hands of a madman.  We live on the edge...always looking to do it faster, bigger, better.   A world that, in my opinion is spiraling out of control.

We look to a GOD to save us; and do nothing to save ourselves.  We were given the keys of life and the brains of a snail.  (Does a snail have a brain?)  People that are trying to change the world and bring peace into it are looked upon as "crazy"... while our scientist are trying to recreate life in a laboratory, and produce food that is unnatural to our bodies.  

This is the world of the future, based on what we thought we could accomplish as a teenager.  So the world of the future based on the projections of the year 1961...has meet some of its predictions and some that we couldn't even fathom during our teen years.    Are we happy with it, have we found the utopia that we imagined?   It hasn't all been BAD but IT COULD and SHOULD have been BETTER!   Time is still on our side ...  so hopefully the Children of the 80's and 90's have a new vision for the betterment of the World we all live in.  

Peace, Light and Love....to ALL the Children of the Millennium!
