Countdown to the meltdown was the most intriguing article were discussed in class thus far. Since it was written three years ago you would think that it wouldnt be as close to our present day as it was, essentially our future has easily been predicted. This is scarey because alot of our views on the future are terrifying to society and are 100 percent possible. Also the idea that society is an invention makes me wonder what it is that we are doing now which is normal to us that will be outrageous in the future like the example on slavery. Happy Valentines day!
