So many times throughout my existence, there were assumptions that the world was going to end on a certain day in a certain year. Instead of running around like headless chickens or hiding in an attic, waiting for the end, many people went about with their daily activities.
It seems nobody has time for anything, not even the end of the World. I was stuck in my room doing work when the end was recently supposed to be here, and if the end really had to come, thats how many people would've gone. (especially B-Tech part time PR students at CPUT)
Its quite sad actually. If aliens had to invade, i swear we would've all asked them to help us reseach or do our readings for a certain boring subject, instead of staring wide eyed at the little green creatures.
Have we just become way too busy or have people stopped believing all the assumptions because of science and technology? I can't answer for everybody else, but i just don't have the time to stop for even a minute and wait to see if its all true... my assignments would be late if i did!
I believe we paid minor attention to the end of the world prediction as far too often current religious 'prophets' have been in the wrong. I remember a few years ago one such 'prophet'in
