Today will Become Tomorrow-

---

I am often amazed by the speed of changes in our technology and our lifestyle. I struggle to get my head around something new, only to find out it is now old. Here’s the thing to keep in mind: What is new today…will be old tomorrow.

Recently I came across a picture of a farm auction from the mid-1940s, and in looking at it, the picture might as well have been from the Dark Ages (presuming the Dark Ages had a camera). It depicted the vehicles the auction-goers drove, the machinery being sold, the people attending the auction, and so many other things indicative of the times. Obviously, everything shown in the picture is now an antique. The thing that grabbed my attention was the irony that at the time the picture was taken, the technology and the developments of man were at their very highest.

Think about it: World War II was over, atomic weapons had been created, and so many other technology, developments, and other things existed that were beyond our wildest thoughts just a few years earlier. And yet, here I was looking at this picture that depicted what seemed to be an ancient time.

I then realized that man today is likewise at the very top of their technology, developments, and thoughts, just as those people in the picture were during the time it was taken, and for many of us, we can’t imagine right now just how much more the world can change. Many of us, myself included, think we know it all. We think we are civilized, sophisticated, and smart. What we have to remember is that, in the future, someone will look at a picture of us as we are today and likewise think, that was the Dark Ages.
