Video Killed The Radio Star

As a child, I was fascinated by men with sandwich boards, the message was the end of the world is nigh.
Now the world appears to message more doom and gloom, people rarely smile these days.

And I don’t think it will!!!!

There are, of course, wars and natural disasters and weather extremes.

Teens in the sixties and seventies used to read, go to dances, make music, and go traveling or do adventure sports. It was a revolution of the arts, music and fashion. The world was full of optimism.

Now they are glued to their phones, and there’s even a word for it. Nomophobia: people are afraid to be without their phones. Losing your phone is a disaster.

Now vast amounts of money are spent on AI weapons that could obliterate many people and do. There is even talk of technology collapsing. We have come to rely on technology way to much. Should technology collapse, survival would be impossible in many places.
I live on a small island, becoming overbuilt and overrun with a population of immigrants and our cities and beaches are packed with tourists. People wear non-descript clothes, usually black, with hoodies. No color around.

Unpredictable weather patterns due to La Niña, global warming and tornadoes are also destroying our planet, as well as wars and weapons, water and food shortages, and natural disasters. Summers here have been well into the hundreds.

When your phone doesn’t ring.

Is that a ferret in your pocket or are you pleased to see me? No, it’s my mobile phone on vibrate.LOL

We also had the pan or plandemic lockdowns affecting many of us, who saw loved ones become sick or damaged by the virus or mental health. A control of people with lockdowns.

It’s been ages since I listened to a radio or watched good comedy, so let's post humor and optimism, as well as our thoughts on will technology improve our lives or lead to the predicted demise of our planet.

Just imagine if the AI bubble bursts?  The repetitive theme of the end is nigh. I like to believe man will find answers to find solutions.
