Abstract
We live in a constantly changing world. Few things are unchanging. This is partly the result of rapidly advancing technology, and partly the result of natural processes. Oil is discovered in the North Sea and a declining economy is buttressed — until the oil is used up, or a new fuel makes oil obsolete. The birth rate falls, and the demand for prams — and teachers — declines. A television star appears on the screen with a weird hairstyle — and overnight everyone is rushing to change their appearance. And without any help at all from man, the coast changes its shape through erosion, continents ‘drift’ and the universe evolves.
