I need to make a confession I have a severe \u00a0dislike of nostalgia. I am the type who looks forward to the future and but learn from the past \u00a0and \u00a0do not wish to return to a simpler time. It is one reason I dislike the show Stranger Things on Netflix.<\/p>\n
I wonder positive outlook on the future is due to \u00a0I was born in 1960 \u00a0and was raised\u00a0 on a steady diet of Science Fiction that showeed all the problem but still had hope. I love shows\u00a0 like The Thunderbirds, Jonny Quest, Star trek, TOS and Animated. When I was twelve or thirteen I was expose to Science Fiction\u00a0 for young people and began reading the\u00a0 Masters \u00a0like Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Frederik Pohl, Robert Silverberg, and other from \u00a0the age of 15 and beyond; even \u00a0reading \u00a0from two \u00a0to three books a month than watching TV. I look at toady technology like the internet with \u00a0fascination not with distain as others do. I love reading and playing games on my tablet and streaming shows. \u00a0I do not want go back having four tv channels. Yes there are problems today, yet we can overcome some and I trust my Lord and Savior than man on the rest (not that \u00a0I will have a good life or not\u00a0 experience pain and suffering in this life but I\u00a0 will be with Jesus in the end). \u00a0I remember being scared \u00a0by the doom and gloom predictions as a young teen by books like the Population Bomb and Future Shock and not realize now \u00a0\u00a0in 2017 and 56 years old these predictions did not come true, why am skeptical of\u00a0 climate change prediction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
