Creativity is receiving a lot of
publicity at the moment and yet it seems only yesterday that it was part and

Holidays on the Moon
Those of us who watched the moon
landings back in 1969 imagined that by now, we would all be taking package
holidays on the Moon, yet space travel seems almost as far away now as it did

masses in our lifetimes? Note: since this article was written, the X-Prize has
been won!
If music be the food of
love

and yet the record companies are suffering from falling sales. They blame

art curriculum.

opposite direction and their work might be even more revolutionary in
the not-to-distant future. This is a not-to-be-missed article about
developments that may well shape all our futures.
