Some television shows propose one future. Babylon Five, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and others might come close. We must welcome the unknown and forever explore the infinite frontiers of our particular universe. The future is only limited by our imaginations. I write Science Fiction, Fantasy, and poetry, but I struggle to keep up with the advance age of this and that.
Technology can and does overwhelm one.
Writing about the future puts you on guard to be able to stay ahead of existing and emerging technologies. Even if you make it up as you go, you still have to imagine something or someone that doesn't already exist. Now it is Science Fact. Still, even that subject is full of stories and controversies. I find it all exhilarating to try to stay ahead of Science Fact.
