What will the future hold?  What will the world be like?  Will it be like the Science Fiction books, or the cartoons and movies that have been so popular?  Or will it be the opposite, some big disaster sending us all back to the stone age? 

It’s pretty interesting when you look at all of the different views of the future that people have imagined.  It seems as though people have tried to imagine or even predict the future for as long as I know of.  There have been books written like 1984 because the author thought that is what the world would be like 50 years from the time of the Nazis that he was growing up in.  A time when everyone was afraid that everywhere would be taken over and controlled.  Movies are made every year it seems with a new vision of the future, from the Jetsons, The Fifth Element, etc….People love to imagine what we don’t know about the future.

I have to wonder if people try to imagine the future because it’s exciting, or because they are scared?  do they really want to know or do they just hate not knowing?  What is it about the future that draws our imaginations in?  It’s the same quality as outer space, the unknown that we want to explore, or love to imagine because the possibilities are endless.

The future is another unknown element that just can’t be ignored.  Imaginations running wild, going through the endless possibilities.
