OK, so as I watch this conversation go by and smile a lot, I find myself wondering....
We old folks sure did enjoy the ride during the period of great invention and achievement we and our peers participated in.
But I sit here wondering what the youngsters will be reminiscing about forty years from now as mid 21st century arrives....
Will they remember what it was like when they had to fly to meetings rather than just transport to them? ( Beam me up Scotty )
And will some of the youngest ones among us actually remember, one day, what it was like when they lived back on Earth?
Now that would be cool.....
