The future is never very far away and as each day passes we see another medical breakthrough or a new discovery in the world. Disaster co exists with miracles, life co exists with death and there is change around us, everywhere, all the time.
One thing that does remain constant however, (although its delivery methods evolve constantly) is the news. Many believe that the news operates with far more sensationalism than it ever did and at least on the surface this seems to be the case, but if we had access to all the current technology way back when, surely the delivery of news would have always been this way?
I am convinced that in their own way, the big stories of yesteryear were just as dramatic to the people of the day. They didn't have images of death, destruction and flashing lights streaming into their homes, granted, but big news has always been big news!
With the aforementioned technology improving apace, perhaps my dream of seeing some of my favourite nursery rhymes fulfilled isn't as far fetched as many would think.
The following could easily be a press release of tomorrow, twittered to bits, "digged/dug" to death, mixxed to the max, not to mention searchwarp saturation!
The Headlines
"Tommy the Jersey Cow Jumps Over Moon"
" Disbelief as millions see bovine wonder!" "Tommy causes twitter to crash!"
"June 23 rd 2023 will be written into history books and fulfil the prophesy of the famous nursery rhyme.
Astonished onlookers up and down the West coast were still rubbing their eyes on Sunday morning as the night before they had witnessed the first cow ever to successfully jump over the moon. Tommy the cow had been promising fans for years that one day he would achieve the so called impossible and sail over the surface of the moon. Millions of people are already clogging up the social network sites, sharing their stories of the most amazing thing they have ever seen. The event, planned by Tommy's ambitious management for 3 years was heralded as a great success and Tommy is already planning his next jump, with Mars as the planned target.
Bridgette from Gooseville enthused, "It was fantastic! I never believed Tommy (adorned in his special, sleek, silver outfit) could do it. He proved us all wrong!" Bridgette added, "I got it all on video, wait till the kids see this, they will love it!"
YouTube are already inundated with images from the event and a commemorative dvd will go on sale later in the year.
There are also reports of several of the paparazzi being slightly injured in their clamour for the best pictures."
A little far fetched? Possibly, but who would have believed many of the events we have already witnessed just 20 or 30 years ago? At least if my story comes true, it will be fun sensationalism rather than the dark news we are used to.
Fingers crossed for Tommy!
