46and2What will old people recall and reminisce about in 2068?
They will no doubt lament the long-lost vague notion of privacy, when conversations could still be private, when one could drive from one city to another without dozens of cameras and other technology weren't logging your every move "for teh chillrens" or "terrorism".
"But you agreed to it" they'll say, all smarmy and irritatingly, remember, before Echos and Dots were everywhere and always listening "so your pizza order is 2% easier", before you needed a week and a team of attorneys to understand the EULA no one reads.
If it all hasn't been forgotten decades before then.
Grumble grumble something something bullshit.

gearhoundsIn 2068, people will talk about the olden days when you carried a phone around in your pocket, instead of having it implanted in your body.

1968 was a great time for the American muscle cars. So is 2018. 50 years from now we will be looking back at this as the second great era of American muscle cars. Cars like the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and the 707hp Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat will be remembered with a smile...
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 August 19, 2018, 11:54 AM
