My friends and I were only talking today about what the future would hold for their 3 year old daughter. Bound to be some absolutely amazing things. Her mobile phone will probably be in her wristwatch (or was that outdated in 2014?)

As I'm clocking on towards 50 next year I went through having no refridgerator to having a gas one!!!, a B/W tv with all the valves to a colour tv, the first cassette players, video recorders the size of suitcases, mobile phone the size of a brick, a music centre that played 78rpm records and 16rpm etc, etc.

If you'd have said to us 30 years ago we'd be communicating around the World in seconds like this, had music on a tiny device smaller than a matchbox, and virtually everybody had a mobile phone, we'd have thought you were mad.

My mind's open to anything now (apart from religious *ull*hit). The future will be amazing to us and ordinary to people to the people who live in it. Bring it on!
