I wonder
what communication will be like in 10 years?
I was thinking about Star Trek this morning and how they were able to
travel faster than light, yet communication with Star Fleet was instantaneous. So obviously they’ve figured out how to move
independent particles (or is it waves?) faster than light so they don’t slow
down when they leave the warp field. But
I digress! My thoughts were really more
along the line of will we be able, or will we be willing, to communicate in
more than emoticons?
The
conservative media is abuzz with discussion and condemnation of the recent
announcement that Harriet Tubman is to be recognized on the next version of the
US $20 bill. While I can come up with a
group of individuals who might be more deserving of this honor I am not sure I
see the big deal here. But again, we
must make every decision a political argument.
Truthfully, I’d be a little more sympathetic to the Administration if
the President hadn’t gone out of his way to encourage the division of the
nation during the past seven years.
The artist
Prince, or the artist formerly known as Prince, or [insert symbol] has passed away. It is unfortunate,
but death stalks us all. Sometimes we mourn
the famous who’ve made choices in life that speed the inevitable and I guess
this is to be expected, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for them when I
look at those nameless men and women who struggle to get the most out of each
breath and overcome the disabilities they were born with, or have incurred
from accident, or fighting our Nation’s wars.
