The 90’s has been a decade full of controversial and world changing events. The first one I could think of would have to be the Persian Gulf War with Iraq.

But I fear that to many things are becoming automated and that leaves out any human interaction and pretty much makes a human being obsolete. Just look at the movies Terminator and Terminator 2. A future of death and destruction that was brought on by humans that made everything they could being controlled by computers and robots. I’m not saying that the world is coming to an end but what will happen when everything is b
