This is the picture In The Matrix. The world that is all about computers. One of my favorite quotes is " is that really air you are breathing?" This will be true, computers are soon to be smarter than men. What will happen, what if this is already just a simulation.
*I had a little fun with Photoshop - my face inside my imagined Television-Telephone. It's how I thought I could telephone my friends... some day in the future.
***************************************************************
As a kid, I loved "Lost in Space" and my parents took me to see futuristic films - "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and Woody Allen’s "Sleeper" (1973). Maybe that’s why I often fantasized a lot about the future. I’d wonder what music of the future would be like, Just a bunch of robotic, mono-tone electronic blips? By the year 2000, cars will fly, of course! But without lanes how will they not crash into each other? I had concerns. Will the air still be breathable? Will the earth be nothing but a burning heap of trash? Then I’d start to hyperventilate.
But mostly my thoughts were on what kind of cool appliances and cars we’d have. That’s one reason I loved Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, with the white, sleek orb-like swooshing vehicles, I could pretend I was already in the future. Yes, that’s what the future would look like. And I loved the Jetson's cartoon, too - with its robotic maids and computerized kitchens. I was sure the future would be just like that. Everything would be white and zooming at break-neck speeds.
What I really looked forward to was having my own Television-Telephone. Maybe because the only phones I’d every known were heavy, usually black (or maybe harvest gold or avocado) rotary phones that took forever to dial. I practically had to wipe sweat from my brow when having to dial a number with lots of 8s, 9s or 0s in it. So when I saw an article in the newspaper about the possible invention of a Television-Telephone, I got so excited I tacked the article to my bedroom door. The future was nearly here! And I would live to see it before I got wrinkles. With this amazing new technology I will be able to see anyone I phoned and they will see me. It’ll be great! I could eat breakfast with my cousin in Texas. I could show her the prize I pulled out of my cereal box (if I could talk my dad into letting me have sugary cereal, that is). Or I could show my friend Cindy my latest Archie comic book without even having to leave my house. Cool! But then I realized that I’d have to wash my face, brush my hair and get out of my pajamas before ever using the phone. So… maybe the Television-Telephone wouldn’t be so great.
Still, I daydreamed about the future. Maybe I’d be a stewardess who will fly around the world, looking foxy in hot pants. Yes, I foresaw myself about thirty years in the future still wearing 1974’s trends. In my head, I saw a clear vision: Me, at about thirty-years-old, wearing a yellow smiley face t-shirt (very tight fitting, as my future self would be very foxy and built) with purple hot pants and white, platform go-go boots. My future self will be one sexy mama – a combo of Teresa Graves' no-nonsense hipness (from “Get Christie Love”), Raquel Welch’s curvy allure and Mary Tyler Moore's spunky carefree-ness - so carefree she tossed her hat into the air. Yes, I would be one foxy, curvy, spunky, world-traveling future lady in hot pants!
So here I am in my future, without one pair of hot pants. And never did I predict the invention of the internet (even better than the Television-Telephone, because I can answer e-mail in my underwear – if I want). I also never predicted I would be able to buy movie tickets and reserve my seat online. Every time I do this, I feel so futuristic. I can’t help but think my kid-self would’ve loved this convenience. But then I didn’t even foresee - right around the corner – Pong, ATMs, answering machines or call-waiting. I just assumed I would be forever hearing the bop-bop-bop headache-causing busy drone of the telephone. And now that I can see who is calling me, I think about these poor kids of the present (or my past future) who will never know the joy of anonymous crank (or is it prank?) calling (a latchkey kid's version of video games). Who’d have thought it? Not me. I was too busy daydreaming about me in hot pants. Purple hot pants.
The Future City New Mexico Competition was held on Saturday, Jan. 25. The New Mexico Regional Competition is an unique opportunity for middle school children to sharpen their skills in engineering, planning, writing, and art to create a vision for the future. Learning about how the infrastructure of our towns are built and how the resources are shared are essential for ensuring sustainable growth for our communities. More than 70 students from 22 New Mexico schools participated in this event. The winning team was Xenex City from Albuquerque Academy. The program is sponsored in part by Sandia Labs and National Nuclear Science & History Museum.

This is my second take on a moc with this set.
Its a solid build this time, with lots of articulation including crunchy abs action.
Used almost all of the pieces.

An infographic I came across about how infrastructure may change in cities to reflect social use of technologies.
A single car is stopped at the 72nd Avenue grade crossing in Arvada, just east of Leyden. This grade crossing will no longer be here in roughly two years when the City of Arvada widens 72nd Avenue to four lanes and drops the road beneath the tracks here. For now, however, an eastbound BNSF coal load crosses the road at grade, as thousands of trains before it have done.

Back to the Future is a 1985 American science-fiction adventure film. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, produced by Steven Spielberg, and starred Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Thomas F. Wilson. The film tells the story of Marty McFly, a teenager who is accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955. He meets his future-parents in high school and accidentally attracts his future mother's romantic interest. Marty must repair the damage to history by causing his parents-to-be to fall in love, and with the help of scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, he must find a way to return to 1985.
Zemeckis and Gale wrote the script after Gale mused upon whether he would have befriended his father if they attended school together. Various film studios rejected the script until the financial success of Zemeckis' Romancing the Stone, after which the project was set up at Universal Pictures with Spielberg as an executive producer. Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly when Michael J. Fox was busy filming the TV series Family Ties. However, during filming, Stoltz and the filmmakers decided that he was miscast, so Fox was approached again and he managed to work out a timetable in which he could give enough time and commitment to both; the subsequent recasting meant the crew had to race through reshoots and post-production to complete the film for its July 3, 1985 release date.
When released, Back to the Future became the most successful film of the year, grossing more than $380 million worldwide and receiving critical acclaim. It won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, as well as Academy Awards, and Golden Globe nominations among others. Ronald Reagan even quoted the film in his 1986 State of the Union Address. In 2007, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry, and in June 2008 the American Film Institute's special AFI's 10 Top 10 acknowledged the film as the 10th-best film in the science fiction genre. The film marked the beginning of a franchise, with sequels Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III released in 1989 and 1990, as well as an animated series, theme park ride, and several video games.
My cup revealeth all. Our waiter read the grounds from the remains of our Turkish coffee. Mine says I am a Queen, and I will find my King in Istanbul. Interestingly, the grounds even spell out his name..Which was M..E..M...H..E...T......K..E...M...E...L. An uncanny coincidence as that was the name of our waiter!

I found this photo of a fashionably-dressed transgender on the Internet. My guess is that she is in her early to mid-70's. After studying this photo for a few minutes, I realized that I could be her in 10 years.
Her style, sissy both hair and clothing are out of the Stana Playbook.

Hey guys! I'm starting over, cause I figured I could just get better without any bad past reminding me, so here it goes!
Messing around with the lights and gels at the end of a shoot. I thought this effect looked sort of sci-fi-ish.

The media consumption experience is poised to transform, and fast. Technologies that have been tinkered with for years, ranging from virtual and augmented reality to sensors and robotics, are finally on the tipping point of mass commercialization. As the physical and digital worlds converge, how will these technologies shape how people interact with digital media?
On November 18, 2014, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish hosted the second occasion of Future Interfaces, an evening "science fair" on the future of human-computer interaction and digital media. More than 300 guests came to go hands-on with 30 demos from startups and universities to see what's on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.
