In a nutshell, the purpose of this blog is to review the results of predictions which people made a decade or two ago; about things which they visualised as "the future" and has now become the "present" or the "past".
Some of these predictions included those from doomsdays soothsayers about the end of the world; the "Millennium Bug" in Year 2000 which was expected to create havoc to the computerised world and other scary earth-shattering future vision of mankind.
Are these predictions made by people based on the figments of their imagination?
Does the means justify the ends? Over time, does perceptions change?
In simple terms, it is about perception, time and space....
As an experimental project, I will base my research on material in the public domain from printed publications, the Internet and relevant contributions from readers.
The blog format will be tweaked and fine-tuned as we move along.
Whilst relevant blog topics will be selected discriminately to reflect changing circumstances, changing environment and changing lifestyles, they are not intended for criticism on the merits or demerits of these public issues under discussion.
The blog topics are selected based on an educational perspective of events of the past; particularly those where useful lessons can be derived.
The "vision of the future" as presented two or three decades ago have been overtaken by historical events; just as what is defined as the "future" looking forward to the next several decades would eventually become the "past". In the process, the lessons learned are the valuable experience earned; as what our forefathers have imparted to us.
