imagine the internet in 100 years

OH and we used to occasionally send food through them Although there were many nasty memo's generated by the day shift about NOT using the tubes for that. The internet is NOT better, you can't get a PB&J or cashews over Cat 5 or 6.

Could you send me a Snickers and a pint of milk for lunch, love?

I imagine that was one reason. How about all the women wearing dresses eh?

LMAO I was too young to be interested. Women in dresses didn't hold a candle to escalators and pneumatic tubes. Women became interesting a few years later

Most of the stuff that's more than 5 years old is dumped- and thus lost. It would be a shame if this continued.

I plan to continue writing, but the stuff I want to be sure the future sees will be published... in that quaint old school technology called 'books'.

I wish http://www.archive.org/

But the real question is, if the text is not in a box to read it to them how will our progeny, who have lost the ability to read our arcane signs, access it?

I would not have risked sending milk but a Snickers was fair game.

Based upon current trends I doubt the future of the internet will be text based.


Enslaved by the 'net, that is scary and possible.

I am still hoping for matter-based.

They don't save everything, far from it.

Reading may well be eradicated from the future curriculum, for it can lead to something far more dangerous; the ability to THINK.

In a carton. I can only imagine what a well shaken can of soda could do to the system!

I bet you were a devastatingly cute kiddo.

They are looking at a form of algae and chemical reaction machines etc.... I don't keep up, I can't keep pace anymore.

Tattoos will keep text alive. It is the last bastion of cursive. I am hereby announcing my creation of the International Tattoo Museum. People will have themselves 3D scanned... so that future rich people can defile us in more detail... or future Mormons will be able to have a tattoo removal done on their great, great grandmother. It is uncertain, but it will be open source.

Yes that is my son's reasoning as well. He banks on the noise for security! I think he's playing fast and loose. But I came from a different internet.

We do seem to sort of be bobsledding toward the mean now.

Noise only works until somebody cares to look.

The old ladies were always pinching my cheeks and they smelled old. I hated that

Exactly and I worked writing filters for db's. But he's machine vision so he knows better. Plus he has the terminal degree in the field and I'm his parent. So what do I know! smh

I imagine that I will understand this more fully in the years to come. I can stand being a dork, but an idiot? Idk

I worry I smell old!

I think you may have planned this exactly right. About the time he notices you have feet of clay......

But what does that smell like now? My theory is that old people grew up in a time of different tastes. So at turn of the (prior) century, musty smells were all the rage. It's kind of like "Agnes" or "Mabel" sounded young and fresh at the time.

So in the future, old people will smell like Febreeze and Ax body spray. The names "Josh" and "Nora" will return to the old man and lady bin.

And yeah, I do expect that shit to go full cyborg. "Google classes" will Be a surgical Upgrayyed.

Scarily prescient
