I've written quite a few posts describing all the reasons why I think I was born in the wrong decade...maybe on the wrong continent. I've always thought 60s London would be the perfect place for me. I'm a hippie at heart and what's not to love about London?! However, there are times I'm so happy to in the future. There are so many things happening now that would never have been possible a half-century ago.
I've always been amazed by science and research, usually completely perplexed by the complexities, but amazed nonetheless. While watching the StanduptoCancer telethon, I listened as a researcher explained how a new drug that uses the "primacy effect" to prime cancer cells to accept chemotherapy. How amazing is that!? Then this morning, I listened to another researcher explain the use of bio-implants to control certain mechanical machines, while another researcher was using sound waves to make things levitate. These same scientists went on to explain how they also think that time-travel and cloning are possible. (Ethically probably not a great idea, but so super cool!)
So while, I'd love the chance to see the Beatles cross Abbey Road, I suppose being stuck here in the future isn't so bad as long as scientists keep making the strides that will allow me to actually see the Beatles cross Abbey Road one day : )
