Are you worried yet?

20 July 2026

Is it time to get just a little worried about the future?

As I was scanning the newswires for ideas this morning, I noticed that there are a lot of things that seem to be teetering on the brink of disaster.

The conflict between Iran and the USA seems to be escalating by the day.

Ukraine and Russia are ramping up the scale and frequency of their missile and drone exchanges.

RAM and SSD prices continue their upwards spiral with little chance of relief for at least the next two years, according to experts.

The AI balloon continues to inflate at an ever-increasing pace, despite warnings from a growing number of observers.

Fuel prices look set to soar to new records due to increasing insecurity of trade routes.

Is there any good news out there?
