The end of the world There were several of us who felt the same way, and the idea that the computer could be a purveyor of information regarding how to get away from the situation is itself promising. It could be the web of knowledge that you use to find out what you are, or are not, going to be in this life. There are others who think that the computer will be a primary aid in the times of transition, that life will be different for them, that they will not be able to share a life with their family, that they will be different, that their traditional relationships will end. I won't go into the theological debate, but I will say that I believe that the coming of the computer will have no great impact on life in the end, either for the good or the bad. For many, the idea of an omnipotent being who watches over us will be quite comforting. They will see the unseen as good, a benign sort of being, and will interpret their own experiences as evidences of this. What people are afraid of is that the nature of the end will be violent and frightening. We are told that an end of the world is an end of the world, and that's something that people tend to do the wrong way. We have a tendency to start looking for the lost Messiah, which, as you can imagine, makes it hard to live. I am thinking of the lady who went to see the pope because she thought he might help her find her grandson. She brought him to the door, and he ran away. She was now convinced that the end was near, and, since she had not called the pope, had run off to get help for him. Later, she found out that he had simply gone to see the pope for a pony ride. So much for the end of the world as we know it. I know that I am not above reacting this way. -Barry Wilson considered his most abstract work this is the only thing he had ever written as he was mainly a photographer its complexing. Seems to have a hidden message but also seems to be unfinished.
