<b><i>The future's so bright, we're all gunna need shades!</i></b> <br><br> This is a collection of video and audio recordings about the promises of the future.<br><br>I like media that depicts a vision of the future. Mainly I am interested in how far off from reality they can be. It seems like there is always someone selling a better future through technology. So here are some from days gone by (often about what it will be like today), together with some more recent ones that look ahead.

I have been carrying them in my head since I started vlogging back in April. It's become sort of an anthem for me. I'm not sure why. Sometimes I even scare me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.epitaph.com/bands/index.php?id=316">visit site</a>0markus@apperceptions.org (Markus Sandy)http://promises-promises.blogspot.com/2005/10/welcome.htmlFri, 14 Oct 2005 02:36:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17843476.post-112928294237440335Some time back near the beginning of the year, I created <a href="http://webjay.org/by/app.etitio.us/promises2cpromises">a WebJay playlist called "Promises, Promises"</a> that has been very popular (there have been over 65,000 plays so far).<br /><br />I thought I would turn that list into a video and audio blog and see what happens. Maybe it will be popular outside WebJay. Perhaps not.<br /><br />I intend to create a post for each item in the list and add special feeds to the sidebar that allow one to play through all the media. We'll see how it goes. Be forewarned that some of these files may be an hour long and a little on the large side.0markus@apperceptions.org (Markus Sandy)
