The sense of the future

in #future7 years ago

Are we ready to face the future?

How do the people of the present refer to the fact that changes of financial paradigm became so obvious? I’ve met my former classmate some days ago. And when I’ve started to talk about cryptocurrency, he reacted like this: «Oh, I heard about it, but you know, I hardly ever use credit cards… cash only, and all your crypto-currencies are like..." — and then indefinitely-disdainful gesture followed. But I saw something in the eyes of my friend — sort of… uneasiness. He felt that I know and feel something that would become the main trend of the agenda in the very near future, and I’m sure he felt a touch of envy.

Here's an illustration of my thoughts... probably unexpected. These are the faces of people who've heard the techno set first time ever… IN 1970. Look at them. What a range of feelings — confusion, fear, surprising, and enjoying. They've just realised that something unprecedented is happening right now. Something with which the whole world will live and go further from this point.

And that's why the audience's so excited — legendary Kraftwerk performance, almost half a century ago:

None of those who were sitting in the hall could know that this strange electronic buzz will become the music of the future, which their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will listen to…

But maybe some of them could feel it already.
