Out-Dated Technology for Future Generations

 Strips 20080908
This pretty sums up how I’m envisioning interaction with my kid when he gets to this age.

So what common everyday technologies do you think will be considered out-dated in 10 years?

Bonus points for the movie reference made in the comic, too. :)

Twitter and Ambient Awareness

 Images X 2008 Omgmetatwitta
Being a Twitter user myself (mikesol007), I’ve often wondered what purpose it truly serves in the context of my life. This New York Times article sums it up pretty succinctly. In a nutshell, each individual twitter by itself is meaningless, but in true gestalt fashion, as a whole, Twitter feeds give you an “ambient awareness” of what’s going on in your friends’ lives, a sort of “distant telepathy.”

One step closer to a singularity-spawned hive mind, eh?
