Warping into the Future
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2013 8:15 pm
Watching the videos below gave me an inkling as to the direction we are travelling.
We seem to be on an exponential curve of evolution now and as the speed increases I wonder if we can stay in control of it or will it overtake us?
These videos are just a scratch on the surface of the innovations coming to us day by day.
The vid's + pee breaks take about 2hrs 45mins to watch so, get some cola and popcorn and have an evening watching the videos, I’m sure you will be entertained; some you may have seen before, some new, but whatever I am sure you’ll be left with mixed feelings of excitement and uncertainty.
