LOL - yeah - see you at the New Year’s Eve party in 2049 brother!! The Scotch casked today should be just about right! Interesting parallels in the 1986 novel “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson - accurately predicted the “Metaverse” (undoubtedly someone at Facebook read it), Google Earth (it was just “Earth” in the book), and a bunch of other somewhat less probable, but potentially “accurate in the future” stuff.

Yeah, Jim. I think you nailed it! A couple of notes as I was reading this future history lesson:

-"The Planet of the Jetsons" might have been a great movie...but the writers are on strike, oh no!

-I am NOT my data

-you spelled megagland wrong

-why are the game players on the toilet, in your mind? WTF JIm.

Climate is not weather - repeat after me "Climate is not weather". (We've had this weather stuff for 4.543 billion years).

-And don't listen to old men named Klaus who think they are in charge of my world.

-The only intelligence the Quaggians find is artificial, thus the term saccharine brained dopes - SBD's. That will be a thing in 2050.

-Glad Keith will be around for a few more centuries. Who'd have thunk being on heroin for 30 years would give you eternal life?

Anywho, I laughed, I cried, then I laughed a bit more. Great article, Nostradamus!
