If mankind is still around...what sort of technology will we have? Remember, Uncle-Al will be long gone by then. Here are some thoughts.... anti-gravity drives hand-held laser weapons cloaking devices speech to speech translators - hand held for any language. quantum computers that can reason and think. robots that can be mistaken for humans. ...any more? What about after 1 million years - will humans be like Gods?

And when the next ice age comes, the few remaining humans will seek shelter in the only warm place left on earth. A system of caves our ancestors told us through their mythology is called Yucca. It must be a holy place, what with that strange blue glow, the warmth and all those indecipherable holy symbols. -- Paul Hovnanian mailto:Paul@Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Due to recent budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel has temporarily been turned off.

(or was it the early 70s?) some of it was good. i saw the fireworks here in Boston/Cambridge last july 4, and they had Neil Diamond featured singing Sweet Caroline. he may be once have been rich and famous (as in "Has Been"), but i couldn't help be embarrassed listening to it. they even needed to kill another couple of minutes so he did an ad-hoc reprise of the refrain of the same song. how embarrassing. oh well. r b-j (identified in South Park as Aging Hippie Liberal Douche. i wear my ponytail proudly.)
