What Next?
"My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there."
This quote is from inventor Charles F Kettering. He was head of research for general motors and would have bestowed this knowledge around the early 1900s. It must have been a very exciting time and look at the change 100 years has made.
This is an image of Belfast's Vitoria Square taken around 1910. And here it is 100 years on.
But today nostalgia seems to have over taken our desire to look to the future. Which is surprising as the future has never been so exciting with nanotechnology the world is our oyster, even being able to replicate conditions of how the world was created.

So do we embrace the traditional, tried and trusted methods? They must be the best as they have lasted for many a moon?
But don't be afraid of the future. For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.
