Daily Thoughts 01/13/2013

I have been reading more of The Visioneers.  Right now, I am reading about Omni magazine which was a mix of science fiction and science.  It had a definite utopian feeling with a vision that predicted all kinds of technological wonders.  Ben Bova featured prominently in Omni, Ellen Datlow was one of the editors.  I enjoyed reading it tremendously.  It was the precursor to magazines like Wired and websites like Tech Crunch with their future oriented often excessive love of technology.  The difference that I see is that the new magazines are completely focused on fringe technology and current technological breakthroughs not science fiction.  People right now are living in a world where we make the future. There are of course some very interesting writers like Chris Anderson coming out of Wired.
