Internet and Age - Pu Stickles

What will movies be about when all anyone does is look at screens?

2-hour-long GIF compilations. The GIF compilations will be composed of other GIF compilations, often recurring in fractal patterns. Like in Fahrenheit 451, we will grow flowers on top of flowers instead of good topsoil.

Kids should be relegated to the starting zone until they hit 25.

What will movies be about when all anyone does is look at screens?

Horror films about people who don't look at screens

Part of me wonders if there is someone on the Internet who had been on it since the very beginning (or somewhere near it)

The internet went to shit in the early 90's when ISP's started offering dial-up and eventually HTTP became an approved RFC.

Before that we had ftp, telnet, gopher, NNTP and other protocols. I remember when a 9600 US Robotics cost 700 dollars.

I'm sorta torn, because I remember the good days of the 80's and early 90's when none of you faggots were there, but now I can stream video and I've got steam instead of pirating every game.

It truly has become a mixed bag.
