books of prediction and chronology

 books of prediction and chronology
I Read an interesting looking  forward  to the 1990s book was the book of predictions by wallace, wallace  and wallechinsky a book of lists from 1981  looking forward to the 1985 of president Mondale and hypersonic travel   and onto to house robots  and  asteroid mining in between jeane  dixon upheaveals  arthur C Clarke  writing
  his usual thing  and  nostradamus being vague
 I  like the snowman john lewis advert on british TV  the previous john lewis advert   was  a young couple  in love separated by nearly 90 years to celebrate  the 1925-2012   existence of the store 
 a 2012-2099  advert of shared lifetimes would be harder to do   between the cliched  london  media bloke and the  one mind organism of the future  
I had intended adding more of my  learning resources to youtube
ie scanning in my 1979  star trek chronology  1980-2188  with its now non canon chronology of 2005 Moonbases   and  L5 cities by 2010 an over optimistic  space race book  of full page Starship statistics   and paintings
 with  an alternative first contact UNSS  Icarus  and a Romulan war 2106-2109  some 1970s good  wash colour paintings by Rick Sternberg  of UNSS Galileo, Marshall class destroyers  and  USS Tritium   you see these paintings on many websites  
would have made the excuse for the video as  star trek resources for learners  to practice scanning and  using movie maker
 well  I did get in the local paper for my lord of the rings maths worksheet   and followed this  with equally successful escape from death star maths
received  an bangalore call centred accent phone call from google   yes a PHONE call from google 
informing me that was I aware I had published a book on google website    have I ? checked it out  type in  christoher lantern his midnight name  seventh down the page  you do get link to the  amazon uk page
 turned out it was  christopher lantern my ebook on KDP    and when asked the call centre voice told me this was the PHONE number associated with the author so how do my KDP account private details end up   as knowledge to google phone service  
all they did was ask about my books how did I come to write it was I writing another one and said they were pleased I had chosen google   
volume two the Rag letters will have to wait    72 poems this year
usually have writing doldrums in winter months poetry mainly a spring  and summer occupation
  but suddenly created the long beginning to zennor wedding in two minutes  watching  BFI  archive about seaside  100 years ago
may need work -older poems  go onto sunrise and watch  to seaward also  taking bits of the zennor theme
poems  tend to follow similiar structure and language

 been redundant just over a month and feel on scrap heap  noted I was even written out of  the organisation  website   I designed  for them in March 
having little response  in my applications for work skills tutor jobs  either as these are looking for business trainers  with own transport and  my horizon has strunk  20 years ago thought nothing of  commuting to another city leaving in the dark coming home in the dark after a 14 hour day also noticed  that car user is now considered a norm  for full involvement in society   despite the fact  by 2070   no one knows what a car/automobile is  some sort of dodo?
 but after so long  just having 5 minute walk to work feel like medieval villager  not wanting to journey far but this is from same person who subscribes to astronomy picture of the day  and has vivid dreams of other worlds and times
the 10 years 2002-2012 at  the learning centre were nothing more than  salary earning  comfort zone  where I could spend my time on using  web 2.0 tools  well at least since 2011  -anyone remember alta vista  or ice rocket
reading books like the truth about the internet tomes "the  net delusion",  "the filter bubble"  "the winter of our disconnect"  pr the  winter of our discontent a family not using youtube social media  or google  for six  months  poor things  reminded me of a circa 1915 "what we did when  all our domestic staff went off to war"   and  technology free lifstyle  manuals  spec email facebook and twitter are not all we expected them to be
i used to feel the same about  CP/M  and compuserve
