Coming soon to a future near you
Flash forward to 2030:
"Whoa. It has art in it. Like when you take a blank piece of that paper stuff, and one of those pen things you keep around, and you draw pictures of words. It's much slower than speech recognition, and you can't even type on it, you have to draw every word and you can't undo. But this thing has ...hundreds of those drawings, all crowded with words. What is this thing?"
"They were called books, son."

I've just marked a reminder to myself to stop by your house with a book on the first day of that year. I predict they'll still be going strong long after that date.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. But if I do see you on 1/1/2030, it'll probably be thanks to an electronic calendar!
ReplyDeleteNo, I have it down on my calendar, Jeff, so expect to see me, amigo. But then, I guess I might well have switched calendars by that time, no?
