             The 
              Age of Humanity   
              The Earth 
              is covered with people! Humanity Rules! Our cities, roads, and farms 
              blanket the land! Our ships criss-cross the seas! Our airplanes 
              fill the skies! We are even entering the depths of space! We stand 
              at the top of the "Staircase 
              of Time." 
            
              
            But 
              time continues to pass.... What's this? A new step is forming at 
              the top of the Staircase: The Future! 
            What will happen 
              to us in the Future? The dinosaurs roamed the Earth 200 times longer 
              than we humans have, and they died out because conditions on Earth 
              changed. Might we also become extinct? 
            What are the 
              possibilities? Could any of the changes that killed the dinosaurs 
              happen again? Might there be a new ice age? Another supernova? Another 
              giant impact? Or an unstoppable plague? 
            
             As 
              time passes, the Earth continues to change whether we want it to 
              or not. In fact, we humans are changing the face of Earth faster 
              and in different ways than the forces of Nature ever did before! 
              So, are there different types of changes the dinosaurs didn't face 
              that we might? A nuclear war? Excessive pollution? Man-made climate 
              change? 
            What 
              is your Future, and what can you do about 
              it? Crystal
