The future is now

I had a college professor in the late 80's who inspired me to choose the path of psychology. He was a wise hippy at a conservative university in the NW. I specifically recall a moment when he reached in my brain and turned on the light switch- it was in a course titled "Life and Uncertainty." In it he drove home the point that everything we once knew and took as steadfast were soon to become replaced- over and over at an ever increasing pace.

This was pretty revolutionary at the time. I mean no one had cell phones.  The computer science intro course was programming in DOS. People were still using typewriters. Hell people were talking about an revolutionary sound called Grunge.

I can go off at this point in several directions (besides the fact I am now old). However my cup's out of coffee so I'll make it brief. 

I think the video below breaks down my proffessor's theory pretty clearly (interesting where Proffessor Brian Baird is now). 

I also believe that this frantic pace will precipitate an evolution of the human spirit. Let it simply be said that we are all connected, the soup is still cooking-we're not done yet.  

There's more here but better saved for another day.
