future
Exploring the future of science today, while looking back on the achievements from yesterday. Science fiction is science future.
My Future
My parents never fail to remind me of how different the world is now compared to when they were children. With advancements from bulky bricks and wired headphones to weightless screens and bluetooth earbuds, it's safe to say technology has progressed at an exponential rate. I mean, just take a look at what the internet looked like in 2000 compared to 2021. No one could have possibly guessed we’d be selling pictures of NFT toads at higher costs than some houses. With the passing of time, the evolution of technology will only move forward. If all goes according to plan—and climate change doesn’t kill us too soon—I hope to, one day, have a family. There is already a huge difference between my mother’s day to day life compared to my grandmas, so it's not a stretch to assume motherhood will be an entirely different experience for me. Although it’s pretty impossible to predict what my future will look like, I do have an idea of how my morning routine will play out in the year 2050.

Have Sagittarius, Will Wander
Well it's December 2021 and the Sun is moving through Sagittarius as we speak and doing quite well it would appear. With Saturn in agreeable sextile and Jupiter also, we are feeling optomistic about booking that trip that has been denied us for so long. The mix-ups and travel confusion at the airports in the news recently is most likely temporarily due to square Neptune in Pisces but you knew that didn't you? And the ones most likely to be yearning to travel are probably Sagittarius or Sagittarius mixes. What does that mean you might ask?

Study says 85% of jobs in 2030 don't exist today
According to a report by Dell and the “Institute for the Future”, a Californian think tank, the switch to cognitive digital intelligence will profoundly change our notion of work. If the study seems very optimistic, it is not without inconsistencies and sweet illusions about the economy of the future.

Kingdom Come
The second in a three part story concerning a future world that just might be right around the corner. The vaccine had been promoted with the promise of eradicating the killer virus that had wiped out a whopping 2 percent of the humanity; amazingly, nearly the total human race came forward to receive the inoculation. The man responsible for making this all possible had come to be known simply as "The Prophet". How society was ever able to operate without the benevolent act of this great man was now unfathomable. Wasn't he the one who convinced the nations to come to the table and agree to act as one and take the "cleansing"? A small injection taken in the right arm, and incredibly, the deadly virus was corralled, as well as many other viruses that had plagued humanity from the beginning of time, even the common cold was at an all time low.

The 3 Possible Futures of the Metaverse: Understanding the Metaverse, Network Stars and NFT Planets
The Metaverse is a term people are throwing around like decentralization when it just started being a thing – they use it far more than they need, and to describe things that are not quite what the term means.

Cross Roads
Cross Roads EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT Fading from black, the sound of constant rain patters on different metals, aluminums and puddles in an urban alley. Thunder claps are paired with flashes of lightning that, for one second each, show the contents of the alley. The first lightning strike shows an alley empty of sentient life.

The Looming Winter of Discontent and Why A Crisis By Christmas is Possible
The world is hurtling towards a “crisis by Christmas”! Right from the Financial Fights over the Debt Ceiling in the United States and the Looming “implosion” of the Chinese Economy, to the burgeoning Global Energy Shock, and the all present threat of shortages in the UK and of gas in Europe, there are no dearth of “triggers” that can have a cascading effect on the world. Indeed, with such a Perfect Storm of converging crises, we can expect some sort of catalyzing event around the End of the Year, from which only a Divine Intervention can save us.
