50 Days & a Wake-Up

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Will Mankind wake up from the Great Sleep? In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, the black monolith found on the moon is taken as evidence of intelligent design. It was accepted without debate that a smooth-surfaced black box with right angles was proof of intelligence. Yet at the end of the film, the SpaceChild turns to the viewer, wide-eyed, as if to ask "what about me? Aren't I more complex than a black monolith? Aren't I proof of intelligent design?" --------In 50 days, we will see whether the dead systems we've created will continue to save us from ourselves. Waking Up may prove difficult.
