Subject: The Future of Puppetry


Project yourself into the future....say the year 2050 and make a prediction.
 
Will puppetry be extinct, or will it be a leading form of entertainment?  

Will there still be such a thing as a stage act, or will all entertainment
be over the internet or tele-net?  

Will the puppets of the future be animatronic or made of some futuristic
cyborg organic materials?  Part living flesh - a biogenetic creation still
requiring a puppeteer to manipulate and create the illusion of independent
thinking?  Or will they remain simple objects and be all that remains as
examples of earlier primitive forms of expression?

Will those of us on this list be remembered by the puppeteers of the future?

Just some strange futuristic thinking for you.  Give it a shot.  Ax
