Try the millenium bug! http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/06/20/need-something-to-be-afraid-try-the-millenium-bug/ http://iliadeodysee.com/2009/06/20/need-something-to-be-afraid-try-the-millenium-bug/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:39:18 +0000 admin http://www.iliadeodysee.com/?p=212 I don’t know about you, but I really hate conspiracy theory. In fact, I pretty much hate anything that doesn’t follow logic, or follows only a logic of its own. Furthermore, I profoundly dislike it when people try to coax others into fear by using something that closely resembles logic, but that’s actually gibberish. One of the best examples I can find of this principle is the whole Y2K bug thing. Remember that? Back a few years, some fear mongers actually tried to talk people into believing that all electronic devices might just… cease to function at the turn of the millenium? Man, that was so XX century. I’m really glad we’re over that!

The newest Kindle 3 introduces such an amazing technology that reading is now more pleasurable than ever. In fact, some people are saying it makes reading such a nice thing that it barely feels like reading anymore! Isn’t that great, when technology makes our lives easier? ;-D

But the human ability to dream and imagine? That’s ancient, thanks goodness. If you’ve ever wondered if anyone tried to imagine something resembling what we now know as Intrenet, it probably didn’t take a stretch of the imagination to realize how such predictions would likely be ludriculously funny! Well, no need to imagine dear readers – check the following video for a glimpse of the future past:
