I try to pay attention to everything that I can and around here I have been keeping track of this for a very long time. To me it looks like the largest groups that are smoking are women, children, and the mentally unfortunate.

I was watching some stand-up comic about a week ago and he kind of made reference to part of this. He was saying about if you light up a cigarette outside the type of people it instantly attracts to you.

This is an interesting observation. Which comic was this?

Dan Soder He starts out by saying he thinks smoking is still cool which is very wrong.

It is, smoking causes a lot of harm. Even just a joke by a stand up comedian could endorse it.

Portrait vs Landscape Sketchbooks Currently it looks to me like most sketchbooks are portrait style and it got me to wondering because from what I am seeing like on YouTube most artist seem to prefer landscape. Then I was thinking well doesn't the most effort and expensive material that goes into making a sketchbook go into the binding? Landscape sketchbooks have a much smaller binding so I predict the pendulum will swing and we will see much more landscape sketchbooks.

In the near future for radiation shielding in space they will start using and encompassing magnetic field similar to what the Earth has but still maintain using physical material for shielding as a backup.

That could work well. I'm guessing that there would be a large space between the craft and the shield itself, with the craft (or station) within a big radiation-free bubble.

I predict that on some of the first probes to Alpha Centauri will be instruments for using and testing faster then light, instant, real time communication.

Subspace communication is quantum physics and the future is now. I've heard some time ago that they proved the bases of this. I wonder how far they have advanced?

I predict and hope that before the year 3,000 we learn what all of these supposed "security" cameras are really for. The establishment tells us that they are for our benefit and in fighting against crime. I don't know about where you are at but here that has been proven over and over again not to be so.

We have some over here, mostly used by banks, shops and other such places, but not on every street corner like in many cities. I suspect that most people just ignore them.
