When it comes to a verbal insult it would be like water off a ducks back (no offense Mr Mallard) to me, yet the idea of meeting physical and political prejudice really defines to me the crux of the problem we need to rise above. I stlll go to the chinky chippy with my chinese daughter. And I'm a...
What do you think about the future? Will we conquer our solar system and beyond? Will we be pegged back a notch or two by natures own hand? What technology do you think is inevitable or even a slight possibility? What ideas do you have for technology in entertainment? How will life evolve on...
