	Long Now > About
		The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution.
		Long Now added a "Library" dimension with the realization of the need for content to go along with the long-term context provided by the Clock - a library of the deep future, for the deep future.
		In a sense every library is part of the 10,000-year Library, so Long Now is developing tools (such as the Rosetta Disk, The Long Viewer the Long Server) that may provide inspiration and utility to the whole community of librarians and archivists.

		And the bettors realize that they are making a defacto donation to Long Bets as well as to their charity of choice because they believe in what they are trying to accomplish with the betting process.
		Long bets is a good way to take a traditional friendly wager, add money and then donate it to charity, while allowing the public a rare glimpse into some of the most interesting minds of our time.

		The Long Now Foundation, founded by some of the world's most influential and cutting-edge thinkers, plan to build a gigantic mechanical clock, perhaps as large as Stonehenge, in the American desert.
		The long now stretches our perceptions of time, from the restricted perspective of our day to day lives to a timespan which encompasses the ending of the last ice age and then the growth of recorded civilisation over ten thousand years to the present day and then onwards another ten thousand years into the future.
		The clock of the long now will be designed to keep time accurately over the next hundred centuries and so link us in a temporal sense to our far off descendants many generations from now.The book challenges our narrow views of time past, the present and a future to be which we cannot yet see.

		He spends the remainder of this rumination clarifying that thought and outlining the details of the myth and mechanism that he suggests as a catalyst: a clock that ticks once a year, bongs once a century, and cuckoos but once a millennium.
		The Clock of the Long Now is both fascinating and, yes, maybe just a bit revolutionary and is most likely to find a suitable home in academic and larger public libraries with readers who are fervent in the desire to see us go on.
		Now, three years late but better late than never, on the recommendation of a very dear person I have read this book in detail and I find it to be one of the most extraordinary books--easily in the top ten of the 300+ books I have reviewed on Amazon.

		Now the story can be told, with Adam in the role of the foolish, semi-corrupt meddler.
		If it is a throwback - and the admittedly shoddy, transparently repetitive set design lends credence to that belief - then it's a reasonably welcome one, serving as a nice "run of the mill" adventure after six weeks of episodes that all felt like they needed to be hailed as events of epic proportion.
		This is not to say "The Long Game" doesn't have some weight as well, serving up a familiar but still very relevant allegory about the nature of news media and its tendency to manipulate rather than report.

	The Long Now
		The Long Now Foundation is a group of people concerned with the evaporation of the concept of "now." Centuries ago, when people spoke of "now," they understood that to mean a stretch of time that included more than just the exact moment.
		The reason for this phenomenon, say the members of the Long Now Foundation, is that technological advances (among other things) have ushered in an age where immediate results are expected, computing takes place almost instantaneously, and people in general are not content to wait on things to happen.
		To combat what they see as a loss of humanity's attention span, the members of the Long Now Foundation decided several years back to design what they have termed the Clock of the Long Now.

		Now if we did reduce demand by 50% through efficiency and conservation, these numbers would be cut in half.
		One thing I'm not sure you've taken into account is that the electric grids (we've got three i the US right now) must be able to meet peak demand at certain times of the year, which means generating capacity must be quite a bit higher than just the average amount used.
		In addition, automated demand/response systems are now being set up that allow the utilities to automatically throttle back or shut down customer loads (with the agreement of the customer, of course).

		Looking back now, it seems pioneering, but at the time it was just kind of taking the tools that everybody knew about and doing one other thing with them.
		The paradox that makes something like the clock for the Long Now - the 10,000 year clock - worth doing is that we've got increasing scientific and, to some extent, cultural framing that lets us think intelligently about very long periods of time, both backward and forward.
		A lot of the buzzing of the present drops away and you are able to engage the deep past and the deep future with a kind of a unmediated comfort.
