Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided.
Last week I was on FourCast, a show on the @TWiT network hosted by Tom Merritt and Scott Johnson, with fellow guest Casey McKinnon. I have to say, I had so much fun on this show. It’s basically 50 minutes of predicting future technologies 10, 100, 1,000 years from today. I love, love, love to let my imagination run wild, and I had to kind of hold back from just spilling out the TONS of wild things I think may happen in the future.
If you don’t have time to watch, you can also download the audio track and listen to it at your leisure. Thanks again Tom and Scott for inviting me on!
What do you think will happen 10, 100, 1,000+ years from today?
Can’t believe I didn’t actually summise this sooner, but TR did 100 years ago.
