A Glimpse Of The Future

Is it really possible of these things?
Japanese research team have predicted the earth of 50 years after.

The predict that special space elevator would be built connecting surfice with their space stations and that people would get around in vehicles that hovers just about the ground.

Joint reserch team of Tokyo University and Nomura Securities have developed computer graphic images to illustrate these ideas.

• Space stations orbiting at 36000km would be linked to earth surface by elevator with the jarney just taking about 6 hours.
• People would travel in linear mortor vehicle that flows over the ground. Because fully automatic, even the children can ride them alone.
• Dog would be trained to check people's health.
• Special cloths would be developed indicate what's going on under your skin.
• And children would be taught by robot instead of private tutors.

Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa of Tokyo University says "We need to have a dream for the future. Something may come true or something may not. But the most important thing is to work to achieve that dream. Researchers says publishing their prediction because it's essential to have innovative ideas and reseach if sciense and technology are to develop.

I bet You probably think that these things can't be possible only in 50 years. I also doubt it. But come to think of it, 50 years ago, could really anyone imagine this present situation? Anyone predict this "World Wide Web"? So another 50 years, our sorroundings must be dramatically change again. That's for sure.

For the better? or worse. You can see what's coming sometime in the future.

選挙の日 (Japan general election, 2005)

Yesterday I went to the poll in a general election for the lower house of parliament. This was held after bills to privatise the postal system were defeated in the upper house. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi determined to pass the bill. So this election was said to be asking for voters whether for the privatise the postal system or against it.

But this was just the strategy of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for win this election. I think he's already had his scenario when lower house was dissolved. And results? LDP's landslide victory. Mr. Koizumi took a variety of method for apealing the voters. While Democratic party (DPJ) couldn't fully prepared for it. They were completely lost.

Actually I didn't support for LDP. Because, I'm against the policy of Prime minister's visit to the Yasukuni shrine and deployment of Japanese Self Defence Force in Iraq. So I supported for DPJ. And personal reason... Then DPJ's leader Mr. Okada was resigned the post for taking the responsibility. I think they should choose the leader who is more apeal to the voters next time. Mr. Koizumi's popularity was still absolutely great. That was proved in this election.

Last night, almost every channel was reporting about the outcome of the election. So I was watching it all night long.

A Good Hair Cut

What happened this week?
I went to have my hair cut. After looking at my own uneven long bad hair, I decided it finally. As a matter of fact, after my last bad experience,I changed the hair salon this time. Previous one was very bad. I think she was moderately "good" technically. But real problem was she didn't follow my order now and then, and she liked to cut my hair so short! I realized that this was probably not so good for my health... This time, I cut a couple inches off all around and then got layers. Well, I like it.

Then I went out for some shopping and eating with my friend. She said that she knows "good hair salon" which she's using. But it's a bit long way off from my house. And I like my hairdresser this time. Also I got the discount ticket for the next time. 1000 yen off. Well it's safety and convenient. $_$
