Isn't it interesting to think of the age we live in. Imagine if fifty years from now are grandchildren could access these forums and read all our posts. How foreign and alien it would seem to them. All these upcoming movies we say we are really looking forward to, they will have probably never seen any of them, and will have no idea what they are. They would read our quotes and references and not have a clue what any of them mean. While something like "Tonight we dine in hell!" is a pretty understandable reference to almost everyone here, probably even to the ones who have not seen 300, 50 years from now it will be such an obscure quote. Or the TV shows we talk about, which would be beyond old and forgotten by then. How great would it be to be able to emerse yourself into the culture of you parents or grandparents with a forum like this. What I wouldn't give to be able to be able to read discussions between my grandfather and his online friends. I wonder what they would have talked about back then. Maybe they would have been discussing the war in Europe, and Rosevelt, whether or not he was a good President much like we talk about Bush and Iraq today. What a treat that would be. What a way to know what things were really like.

I was just pondering how much times have changed and started thinking about what I wrote above and thought I would share it.
