We live in a world where today’s “can’t live without” are things we lived without only days ago. Technology is moving so fast that it’s hard to image what will occur in the next year let along the next decade but I believe gene therapy will be at the top of the list. For the ability to change a gene to cure a sickness or change the one feels without the need of medicine will truly altar the world we live in. I also believe that driver less cars will enable all of us to get around at all stages of our lives and in all different conditions.  Without appearing too old here are a few breakthrough’s of my lifetime.

(1) Microwave Oven– Yes I actually had to wait to get my food.

(2) Fax– Your word was literally your bond growing up with no paper in-between.

(3) Home Computer– We actually had to go to a place called the library to discover information.

(4) Social Media- People would actually have to talk to each other face to face to see if they were a friend.

(5) Music/Entertainment- There have been so many advances in this category but basically in my days if you didn’t see on the big three ABC, CBS,NBC when it occurred you wouldn’t see it all.  Playing your favorite song required more then pressing a button or two but actually waiting and buying.

(6) Cell Phone- The dream of the rich and famous has now found it’s way to Tom, Dick and Harry of all ages.

(7) Cancer – This word symbolized slow and painful death growing up. Thank G-D I live within a time period where it has become a way of life to be conquered for many, many more people.

The Senate should vote to repeal Obamacare plain and simple then replace certain bits that the American people really want.  They would be individual pools set up for those for pre-existing conditions, having plans that allow children to stay on their families plans till 25,  expand health savings accounts, allow people to buy insurance past state lines etc. This should be followed by the House and occur within a week so the President can enact these bills into law. Let’s move the ball forward instead of just playing with it.

Where would the undead of the big screen be if it wasn’t for George A Romero. You might say we would have our Vampires and Frankstein but nothing as truly creepy as the creature George A Romero brought to us the ” Zombie”.   Gore wouldn’t be as rotting if this man wasn’t able to turn his vision of zombies into a reality that we now see as routine movies and T.V. shows of today but was truly an experiment in horror of those days. RIP George A. Romero unless your movies have a certain reality that we never knew was coming.

It’s important to shoot for your dreams but have a steady job that allows you to pay for the pen, chair and room in which such dreams can be hatched.  Dream big but work steady so that you can live comfortably enough to watch that cloud open in reality without falling to the ground.  For without the basic 9-5 Mon-Friday work behind you it’s a much harder mountain to climb since you won’t have any shoes to depart with and won’t have a parachute for the small drops in between.

Did people see ghosts from the past more then now? If so was it because they had more free time to look or were naive about other scientific effects?  Would a ghost of today need some technical skills in order to get through our smart devices to spook us? If so would there be some class to take before one is to perform some actions or would the ghost be a bit bored in the modern era? Today with society as cynical as it is would a ghost get any respect from a haunting or just be left in the sheets?  Maybe the modern ghost is longing for the good old days when people really did care and fear. I guess Opray and Dr. Phil still have an interview to perform but I’m not sure people will give a boo.

Let’s face it being sick can make you very needy and that’s when the  “Sick Friend App” comes in handy. This “App” will be alert all your friends about your conditions and provide contact information for what needs you request.  Whether it be someone to pick up your mail, take your pet for a walk, or just stop by they’ll know your needs and have an opportunity to help.  Furthermore if your friends just don’t have the time this APP can alert professionally care givers at different price ranges to step in and help. Whether it be that emergency personal assistant or just someone from a local clergy to give you some spiritual guidance/friendship you know that someone is only an APP away to help.  The “Sick Friend APP” for you never knew when sickness might call but should always know someone will be there for you.

If you became a ghost G-D forbid would you be a better ghost then you were as a person? For maybe you would believe if you acted a bit better you’d move up to the higher place but let’s face it being a ghost could be quite boring so maybe some fun with your old friends would be in order. What’s the big deal if you made a door opens and slam closed, is that really so terrifying? Maybe you’d meet other ghosts and then would ghost peer pressure lead you down their dastardly path?  If you’re a kind ghost you might scare you’re “new friends” away from a path that could be harmful to them whether it be freaking them out before they tried some might altering drugs or going down the wrong stairs. Whatever you’re decision would be let’s hope it’s many, many years before you have to make it.

As technology advances the next change will be to in our skin color and how will that effect society? Will we truly become a color blind society not knowing who was originally white or black or will we say that there skin color whether new or old affected how they acted now?  For one will be able to change their skin color and move to another location to truly start anew or maybe stay old.  Other’s will claim that they were born in a white body and need to be black (vice versa) and public medical expenses should be paid for this transformation.  Will more people take the procedure to change from black to white or white to black and if so which side will ask for affirmative action? It’s a debate in the making as society becomes black white and white black within days.
