A few weeks ago NewMexiKen posted the item What really matters. It included one person’s list of things from 1950 to 2000 that he suggested would still matter 200 years from now. NewMexiKen has been mulling this concept and is prepared to suggest my own list.
Seven things from NewMexiKen’s lifetime (to date) that will matter in 2200 (in no particular order).
- First extra-terrestial flight (moon landing).
- Discovery of DNA.
- Instantaneous audio/visual communications (worldwide television).
- First weapons of mass destruction deployed.
- Global warming realized.
- Personal worldwide communication (the Internet).
- Nuclear power.
