A while ago, there was a piece done about magazine covers from the future. Artists imagined what the covers of various magazines would be like 100 years from now. It stuck in my mind, because while most people found them to be cool or funny, I was horrified.
People with clay skin to defend against global warming. People living to be older and older. People living their lives faster and faster. Technology, technology, technology.
That’s what Mother Culture says. Sure, there are problems with the environment. But we’ll fix them in the next hundred years. How? By doing the exact same thing we did the previous hundred years, but better.
Me, I hope there are no magazines in 100 years. Now that would be “progress”. (:
Have you read the Connection Manifesto? It tells the story of why there is so much hurt and sadness in the world, and how we can heal through connection.
