A Glimpse to the Future...
- Friday, June 9, 2017/ New York, New York-
Dayton Brunelli sat down at his usual corner in the coffee shop. He closed his I-Pad, an act out of character for a stockbroker on the way Wall Street. But, the thought to himself, the day was still early enough, he had time to sit and drink while reading a paper copy of the New York Times. He was old school in that regard, what with the Times now selling more online editions than paper copies. He opened the thick paper, heading for the business section. On the way, he glanced through the headlines, intending to read them later.
Nordic Council Votes to End Whaling in North Atlantic, House Speaker Abbott congratulates fellow Representatives on 'job well done' for trade reform, Titanic II completes Maiden Voyage, Brazilian-American War Games wrap up in South Atlantic, Canadian PM speaks at dedication of Canada's 18th Nuclear Reactor...
The headlines went on and on, most centered on the political news that the paper Times now relied upon for relevance. As CNN, Fox, and ESPN played on the TVs around him, Dayton sipped his coffee and read from a fading relic. Yessirree, the day looked about normal for him.
