Hello once again.  Some additional research pointing me to the year 2036 (only 17 years away!) has lead me through studies of the 2020 decade on our way to 2030s.  The Baby Boomers continue to retire, many are well set with their perceived futures, already travelling, voluteering or reentering the workforce in a different line of work.  In the meantime, the Gen X and Millennial generations are beginning to join forces to address and solve the myriad of problems that have been generated by the last few generations before us.  Social systems continue to be under strain and the divide of the have and have-nots continues to widen, although at least in the United States, opportunity still is available for those willing to work hard and take risks.  I ran into these articles related to the Gen X and Millennial generations:

The other interesting item for this week is related to the Year 2036.  This may be my planned “retirement” age, and when Social Security and my life insurance term policy runs dry… although I highly doubt, if I live this long, true retirement is in my future.   In this timeframe (2036 and 2038) many older computer and networking systems will have a similar issue as we did in Y2K, with overflow of certain time parameters.  This time around we should have better tools to deal with the problem, but it will be a wave of 32-bit systems that will have to be redesigned or replaced completely by this timeframe.  More of an urban legend / pop-culture icon, a person supposedly named “John Titor”, a future military soldier and time traveller from 2036, came back to the late 1990’s – early 2000’s and stopped then on his way back from 1975 to get obsolete parts for an IBM 5100 Portable Computer?

The Oral History of John Titor, the Man Who Traveled Back in Time to Save the Internet:

Makes for interesting “fiction”.  Or is it?  What if a future generation is able to use quantum technology to enable time travel.  What does it mean for the past and the future?  Only time will tell…
