Are we running out of new song titles? I've noticed in my music collections a few cases where two unrelated songs have the same title, such as "It's Too Late" by Carole King and a different song of the same name by Bobby Goldsboro (both not obscure songs).

Shave a brand new way to screwrifs while posting to the Internet. 1tu latest update of WritePad Pro enables me to use the handwriting input lox in other applications, such as Tafsatalks. Nowi've got handwriting recognition, Swykes, and autoconeet all helping me in my ongoing quest to make my uniting utterly indecipherable.

Will fountain point pens make a comeback? There's something about writing with a fountain point pen that just makes writing more interesting.

What I wonder is if we will come to a point where people stop writing with pens entirely. And could it be, in the distant future, that children won't even be taught how to write letters anymore; Only how to type them?

Oh I don't know .... I still scribble myself a note on a scrap of paper. It's more satisfying to be able to cross it out and throw it away .... I mean, recycle it. And I only use (well, mostly only ....) things that were already trash, like the back of somebody else's daily calendar, or something.....

With the advent of electronic instruments, specifically synthesizers, will people still need to play the actual instruments? Rather than spending years mastering an instrument, could someone who has mastered the synthesizer be able to simulate playing that instrument, and also simulate playing other instruments...or many instruments at the same time.

Could this lead to a future where when you attend a symphony it's actually just a small number of people playing synthesizers that simulate every instrument in the orchestra. Each individual simulates a class of instrument (woodwinds, brass, stringed, percussion, and so on).

Added to that is the more recent introduction of vocaloids. They still need a bit of work, as shown by this:

However, as with all things involving computers, they will improve. Could this lead to a future where one person, with one computer and the appropriate programs, could create an entire performance. They have already managed to create, via holograms, an entire performance as shown by the following:

...and also bring cartoon characters to the real stage as shown the following:
