as tomorrow becomes today

time travel would be so cool... but could i use it to save people in the past and if i could, would that be right or is the natural evolution of consciousness, technology, humanity, and everything else the best way?... could a time traveller play god? (doctor who?)... seriously, these are real question for tomorrow... are there an infinite number of parallel time lines and would changing something in my current past change that timeline or erase it or would it or propel me into another timeline or both?... when can we do anothing without drama and unnecessary emotional errors?... just a few hundred years from now we will likely be travelling through space to other stars and accepting intelligent autonomic computers as servants, co-workers, even companions... unless, as is just as likely, the tech gets so far ahead of the emotional capability of humanity that we destroy ourselves with it... the question becomes, if we survive our own fears, how do we evolve?... the obvious seems to be a merging with tech on some level which suggests extended life in some form and that leads to the question of consciousness and memory and whether that has an expiration date of some sort or can we find a way around the law of entropy as well?...

the fact is, yesterday's science fiction is today's reality and today's science fiction will be tomorrow's reality and so on... but what lags behind due to fear-based greed (and any other greed) is the emotional maturity to share and the intellectual awareness and acceptance that sharing is required for continued survival... will there still be a blinding poverty, a struggle to pay bills, and the shirking of responsibility for our destructive and murdurous actions in the name of gods in the future?... either way, logic suggests that logic will prevail, whether it is human evolution that embraces rational logic or whether it is intelligent computers that take over and force logic on irrational humans... or we'll just blow everything up...

there's always hope we won't...
