Hey, Check Out This Nifty "Internet" Thing!

Rate: 0 Flag

OK, this kind of falls into "1994 called, they want their wide-eyed wonder about the miracles of cyberspace back", but I was playing with this, and, fairly easily, managed to get from Albert Einstein to the British Regency, via Einstein-Relativity-Big Bang-Restaurant At The End Of The Universe-Douglas Adams-Blackadder-British Regency. I suppose I'm going to always be stuck in that generation which remembers a time before the Internet and so still gets occasionally tickled by it, much like older generations think of television or airplanes or what-not. I hope, honestly, I will never become "Too wonder-stale to wonder, at each new miracle". That way lies death. (OTOH... I want to scream every time I read an article explaining this wacky new "Internet" thing that all the kids are into to parents... parents who are a decade or more younger than me. The Internet became mainstream in the early 90s, folks... if you're a 40 something, or Ghu help you, a thirty something who still needs help "getting it"... what were you doing for the past 20 years? Going out to bars? Talking to girls? Sheesh.)
