Todays thought provoking question is what if there was no more oil? Lets ponder for a moment the possibility that we lose contact with that precious resource called oil. Not only does this cut us off of a resource for our plastics to be made but it also cuts off major transportation as well. Vehicles wouldn’t be seen on the roads after a mere two weeks of driving and soon everyone could be seen walking or biking where they need to go.

Yet how would this affect our economy as a whole? Currently we are already in dire straights when it comes to the economy in the U.S. so would this plummet us even further into economic hell? How would this affect life as a whole? How much would actually change in our lives if we lost this precious resource? These questions I leave to you, my readers.

The question today is what if Microsoft and Apple merged? Lets pretend for a moment that Microsoft and Apple put away their spike covered clubs and large sharp machetes to strike a deal. Lets say that they merged into one company so that they can each gain from each others ideas and solutions. Lets also pretend that they decided to make the best damned operating system known to man.

How would this affect our current computer market? What do you think this new company would be called? Would we see a new company emerge like a phoenix rising from the ashes of so much controversy? would Mac and PC fanboy’s alike throw down their gloves and embrace each other in a sick and twisted version of our favorite campfire songs? These questions I leave to you, my readers…

Todays question is What if the U.S. economy collapses? With recent events dealing with oil prices and the housing market its no surprise that the economy is in particular trouble for even the middle class breed of American citizens. Gas has risen to an average of $4.00 a gallon and continues to rise even more. The job market is suffering and more people are getting laid off from work. So what happens if overall our economy collapsed? How do you think that we would survive a devastating blow of this magnitude to our country?

I pose the question of our future in a five to ten year span. What do you think would be the process of an economic failure leading up to a ten year mark? What role do you think our government would play in the process of economic failure and recovery? Do you think they would worsen the situation or make it better? I leave these questions for you to answer.
