Glendora Vegeterian Club
Did you ever hear of Vaudeville? It was very popular for 50 years, then people turned to radio and motion pictures. Their popularity lasted for 50 years, then gave way to broadcast TV which was dominant for about 50 years. Then cable TV took over. It has been around for 50 years, but now it’s teetering, being overshadowed by the computer and the smartphone. Their 50 years will be over soon. Tell us what is going to be the next big breakthrough. Space travel? Artificial intelligence? No more cruelty to animals? Selflessness? Peace on Earth?
