Back To The Futures Introduction.

A blog. A futures blog none the less. A blog where I will reach so far into the future you will think I am psychic, or Mystic Meg, either will do.
The reason behind his blog is to delve deep into the depths of the interweb, and to surface with an “IP” or intellectual property of my own, which can be applied for future release, and still be relevant, even though it was thought of years beforehand.
I will begin with choosing 2 separate and completely random words, just two words, which I will then research, mind map, and trawl the internet to find out all about them, and slowly branch out, and find cultural relevance in several fields, Films, literature, film, TV, music, art, games, toys, fads etc.
I will condense to come up with an innovative idea which will keep the masses entertained for years to come.


These are the Themes I have gone for.
The first one is Time.
A concept which keeps everybody on track.
An idea which rules people’s lives, as they hope to attain more time from nowhere, attempting to extend their lives with surgery, or just watching the hours fly by watching clocks slowly rotate.
I will look at how in present day time is a much sought after commodity, people try to save time whenever they can, and even run like clockwork robots fitting all sorts of activities, meetings and daily routines into the short amount of time they actually have.
Ill move on to look at how time was even created, where the concept of time really grew into a big phenomenon, ill also delve into what people believe of time, and what it means to them in the bigger picture.
For the future I will be going all sci-fi, looking at how people believe time travel is the next big step in our scientific adventures, as people grow more and more interested in going back, rather than going forward.
I will even look at the downright bizarre, as people attempt to be cryogenically frozen, or keep alive while the years fly by so they can see the future first hand!


The second is Bones.
From forensic science, to disease, ancient rituals and burial, to a cartoon where they live in a dark dark room.
Bones have been seen in several different ways over the years, they can be haunting and abandoned, showing signs of death and strike fear, or they can be seen on TV dancing around for your entertainment. 
For the present ill begin with looking at Halloween, how people see skeletons as funny costumes or something for their amusement.
Ill slowly move on to the past, seeing how the skeleton even got used for Halloween, and how they were used before science, rituals and beliefs of small tribes and colonies, looking at ideas you don’t see day to day, and some which may turn peoples stomachs.
Finally I will look the future. How bones unlock so much about us scientifically, DNA, forensics, and much more, and if I get bored with humans ill look at archaeology, the exciting truth from the past which shows us where we came from and how we evolved.
