Have you ever sat down and added up how old you will be in the future and what year that will be like for example right now I am 21 it is the year 2006, in 20 years I will be 41 and it will be the year 2026... kinda of interesting and kinda scary

As you get older, you tend to do this but in reverse....I was born in say 1950. It is 2006 now...I remember seeing JFK's funeral on TV. I remember very well Apollo 11 (moon walk), 12 (the one which burned up) and 13 (the one we thought WOULD not make it back.) I remember Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. I remember MLK and RFK...not to mention the day George Wallace was gunned down. I recall the end of Vietnam. I am getting older by the minute.
Anytime you look foreward or backward, you gain perspective.
It is spooky to some degree to realize you have seen as much history as what you have and to know you are THAT old.

Yeah... back when I was sixteen I used to think about "gee, when the year 2000 comes around I'll be 36. I wonder what I'll be doing then?". Little did I know that in 2006, at age 42, I'd be wondering "how in the hell did I end up sitting at a computer all day trying to help people I don't even know?".

Yes I have. Not scarey for me but interesting. Try this one. Picture where you think you will be in 5 years. What are you doing? Using current trends, how will your world look?

I try not to think about the future; it hurts my head.
