From the day

Perspective: The Future Historian · Sight

Low-rise denim silhouettes and midriff-baring tees shimmer under the humming neon of the local multiplex, where the oversized eyes of Bratz dolls peer from shopping bags. I adjust my wire-rimmed glasses, watching the ticker tape flash the news that **Producers And Actors Reach Accord**, ensuring the gears of this analog-to-digital transition keep grinding without a strike. The tension in the air breaks like a summer storm as the heavy industry sigh echoes through the crowd. In the end, the tribe has spoken, and the cameras will keep rolling on a world that doesn't yet know how quickly it is about to change.
