When I consider that in 50 years I will no longer be here

When I consider that in 50 years I will no longer be here, that I will likely be absent in the year 2050, I'm saddened. This marvelous thing, the Internet, will continue to grow and develop without me; I will not be present to see its marvelous developments over the next 100 - 200 years and beyond. The programming of computers - by turns, taxing struggle and exhilarating experience - the expertise which I am building daily - gone.

Yet all is not sad - we will be in a different place. I hope to enjoy the vision of my Creator; may I practice being in his presence, even in this place.
