BT's Predictions for the Future
Saluton_Mondo writes "BT describes the future as looking "ever more exciting each year"... you won't be surprised if you read their white paper on a timeline of technological development in various aspects of human culture, running up to about 2100. It's a bit out of date, but still pretty funny. Some are reasonable predictions, like the introduction of ID cards in the UK by 2010, or the rise of an American dictator in 2000. Others are just funny, like an orgasm via e-mail in 2010, or a security Barbie which searches for lost offspring. I'll not even mention the emergence of the Borg in 2040... see what you think."
Who?
? What dictator? George Bush? The man who was elected fairly through the electoral system that's legal and has been in place for 200 years? Even though he didn't win the popular vote he got to his position fair and square... The guy also has to answer to a voting public next November... as is the legal way... He may be a screw up of a president, depends on your own personal opinion, but he got his position through a public democratic system and he'll either leave office or be reelected next year by a public democratic system.I'm sorry but someone needs to go to dictionary.com and look up the definition of the word 'dictator'
