If you are here, you probably lost your way. You are on the good way to lose some time too.

Welcome everybody. This little blog here is meant to do two-thigs-two:
first, talking of where this world is going, second how to make the ride enjoyable.
Let me explain: since after the scientific revolution technology has started evolving exponentially,
a thing that some see as a blessing, some see as a curse.
I'm currently 22.
As anybody who was born in the 80's, when the clock stricked midnight the 31 december 1999,
a question popped in to my head:
WHERE THE HECK IS MY FLYING CAR?

Well, I probably shouldn't have screamed that aloud...
But that's not the point: everybody has expectations from the future, makes projects and suppositions. Somebody wants a serene life, somebody wants to make history...
point is, we don't know what's going to happen to us, let alone to the rest of the world.
And unless you believe Nostradamus mambo-jambo, you probably agree with me on one thing:
nobody does.

And another thing: the world isn't getting any simpler.
Every day, things that just a couple years ago were dimed impossible become reality.
We are now capable of travelling outside our athmosphere, we reached a couple days ago the goal of one billion computers sold around the world and cellphones are nearly everywhere...
Which is interesting, considering that experts on the respective fields seemed to think those tasks impossible:

"Man will never reach the moon, regardless of all future scientific advances”
by Dr Lee DeForest, inventor of the television.

“ I think there is in the world market for maybe five computers” by Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM in 1943.

“ 640k ought to be enough for anybody” by Bill Gates in 1981.

"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
(Ken Olsen, Digital Equipment Corp, 1977)

"Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons."
(Popular Mechanics, 1949)

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
(IBM's Thomas Watson, 1943)

"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us."
(Western Union internal memo, 1876)

...

And they were all super-duper sure, mind you.

What I'm trying to say by those quotes (outragiously stolen from other sites) is not that you have to believe to any pseudoscientific crap you hear. or that experts have no idea of what's going on around them: they do, too bad smart people too often become a little bit too sure of themselves.

What I mean is that, in my humble opinion, if given enought time humanity can reach any goal.

...assuming we don't kill each other first, mind you.
And that's a huge assumption.

My aim with this blog is to report the most interesting technologies and theories and discussing on their potential and of the dangers they pose , trying to evite dogmatism and technobabble... to get maybe a glimpse of tomorrow.

A tomorrow where, I hope, there will be my frigging flying car!
