Have you noticed lot of people lecturing about how the near future is going to be full of self-driving cars and robot doctors? The past shows us however, that predicting the future is not easy, and rarely do long-term predictions about technology come true. As this video and article demonstrate fantastically.

I’m really enjoying this album from Public Service Broadcasting. A history lesson woven between masterful songs. Songs that tell the story of the rise and fall of the coal mining industry in Wales. The record is so emotional in places, that much like another classic, the Manic Street Preacher’s The Holy Bible, it’s not an album for any occasion – at times it can be very depressing, but this is what makes it so brilliant.
Well worth going if you haven’t already. Finishes September 3rd.
