The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.

What happens tomorrow is going to happen tomorrow.

Most simply, 'present shock' is the human response to living in a world that's always on real time and simultaneous. You know, in some ways it's the impact of living in a digital environment, and in other ways it's just really what happens when you stop leaning so forward to the millennium and you finally arrive there.

I really do the conventions now for two reasons.

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform.

Given the growing popularity of pop culture conventions, many of them are selling out, leaving a lot of fans out in the dark and having to trawl the Internet for bits and pieces of news that relate to these events.

Today's gossip is tomorrow's headline.

I've been doing these conventions for 20 years, and we used to at least have debates about issues. Nothing is happening basically at this convention, other than speeches.
