What the Future Holds
By Ray Fauteux
We think we are at the height of man's creative power with all these great high tech toys we have at our disposal. There is nothing else that can top the feats of this generation that's for sure. Of course that's what they said when the Wright brothers left Mother Earth and took to the air. Nothing was ever going to top that. Well maybe walking on the moon or living year round in a space station topped it a little bit. I can remember about 45 years ago when I was in High School and we were taken on a field trip to the downtown head office of a major bank. They were showing off their computer to us. It took up one full floor of a 20 story building. They were sure proud of their monster computer. It could play tic-tac-toe and sometimes tie but never lose. There was no screen to go along with it and of course there was no internet. If only they could see 45 years ahead when the average school kid would have a laptop that would be 100,000 times more powerful than their dinosaur computer. Their computer that most likely cost tens of millions of dollars put to shame by a $700 Dell. So we should not get too high on ourselves and all that mankind has accomplished up to this point. Fifty years from now the average school kid will most likely laugh when they see pictures of us with our cell-phones, Blackberries, computers and I-Pods. They will most likely be wearing a pair of glasses that with one wink will activate a computer that's housed in the frames. Their parents will get in their hover-cars, punch in an address and read a book while they are whisked to their destination. Yes things will certainly be much different for those of us who are around to see it. Of course we still have to make it past December 21, 2012, the date that every psychic, witch-doctor, nut-case and Egyptian soothsayer claims will be the day the world will end. |

I do not believe Earth will cease to exist on December 21, 2012. Myan calendars end on the 21st just like Julian calenders end on the 31st of December. The last known Myan calendars were published in advance. The last known calendar publication from an ancient civilization just happen to be the one exploited in commercial frenzy as "The Day Earth will End" 2012: The End is Near?
