Magic in the "Real World"


This question is an SF/Fantasy hybrid.

How do you think it would affect our "real world" (about 50 years in the future) if suddenly some people had magical abilities?

I'm thinking about this question for my 2006 NaNo and I'm interested in what anyone else thinks about it.

Sherry, I wrote a long response to your question. Then, I copied it into Word and saved it, because it turned out to be a perfect idea for a novel. Thanks for that! {{{hugs}}}

However, that means I can't answer your question because it will give the plot away. emoticon

Karen, I'm happy to be of service. <bows>

Someday we'll have to compare the novels that came out of this question! emoticon I'm certain they will be not even remotely alike!
