Future Disclosures

Abstract

In my short lifetime, just the last 60 years of the millennium now ending, Homo sapiens has harnessed atomic energy for peaceful and not so peaceful means, built computers that at first occupied whole buildings and then began shrinking them to miniscule proportions, landed on Earth's moon and soon after began scouring the depths of outer space for evidence of other life forms, and launched the human genome project, in a voyage of self‐discovery of a different kind. Knowledge is exploding in a chain reaction facilitated by new ways of organising and communicating information to others. Accounting inevitably will be bound up in this information revolution.
