Take a look around you, the future is here. You are living in it. Smart phones, Internet, touch screens. Does this shock you? Or are you pleased with the future? |

Smart phones, Internet, touch screens? that dont impress a me much |

in the early 00s companys like dell made pocket pcs using windows mobile with built in phones and they had palm pilots and stuff b4 that, thats why i phones etc dont seem like a big deal 2 me |

You are used to these things, but they are not...well, normal? What would impress you? When would you finally aknowledge that you are living in the future? |

democratic 3d printing of graphene and nanotube structures, zero knowledge proof encryption even through acoustic manipulation of wave structure to baffle outdoor monitoring, somebody finally coming clean with verifiable leaks of remote viewing plus that subliminal waco shit jon ronson talks about and the billions shat down the line techwise that way (start with oliver lowery). moonbase. fusion islands of stability. rocket powered dungarees. DEATH AND HATE AND SELFIES AND AAAAAAAA |

I'm reading a free copy of novel on both my smartphone and iPad with the free Kindle app. It feels kind of good, in a twisted anachronistic way. So no shock here as of yet. But as for my children...the greatest thing that has happened so far this summer is probably the 0.9. update of the pocket edition of Minecraft. That actually worries me a bit. |

When i first saw a multimedia PC around 1993 i couldn't believe it. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's a fairly overused peterkayish observation but i used to have to find scraps of decayed porn in the woods before we could afford a pc. why were lads leaving porn in the woods and why was finding a page of bbw sexline ads with some fat lass going at a banana such a rite of passage? |

yeah they used to be alot more of that about, big hairy muffs, headbands, Lycra leotards, bad perms always in hedges on the way home from school or behind a bench in a public park |

Fact: Most of you don't even know how a how pocket calculator works. So, it is a bit hypocritical to dismiss all these electronic devices you use everyday |

Now is not the future, it's the present. Although, i've actually seen the future and ***you're still a CUNT. ***spoiler alert. |

snowden on gchq Their respect for the privacy right, their respect for individual citizens, their ability to communicate and associate without monitoring and interference is not strongly encoded in law or policy. And the result of that is that citizens in the United Kingdom and citizens around the world who are targeted by the United Kingdom, by the UK government, by UK systems, by UK authorities, they’re at a much greater risk than they are in the United States. GCHQ has a much lighter oversight regime than it should – by its own admission, said Snowden. You’ve got their own admission in their own documents that “we’ve got a much lighter oversight regime than we should have”, full stop. That’s what they’re talking about. They enjoy authorities that they really shouldn’t be entitled to. And the problem with that is, when you have an unrestrained intelligence agency that’s not being well overseen, that’s not accountable to the public, they’re going to go further than they need to. They’re going to overreach. They’re going to implement systems and policies and target people who are not necessary to target. Tempora [GCHQ’s internet surveillance program] is really proof … that GCHQ has much less strict legal restrictions than other western government intelligence. The UK government may publicly say, “We have very strict regulations. There’s a broad oversight. There’s intense accountability for all of these officials operating these programs”. Their own private documents, classified documents they never expect the public to see, say something very different, which is, “We have a very light oversight regime compared to all other western countries”. And what that means is UK citizens and UK intelligence platforms are used as a testing ground for all of the other five eyes partners – that’s the UK, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand. This experimental approach at how we collect intelligence, [while] at the same time we keep the public |

...unaware of how we do it, leads to a very unusual situation. Instead of having a signals intelligence system driven by the need to use its authorities only where necessary and only in the measure that is proportionate to the threat, we get a technological approach where they go, “What can we do?” as opposed to, “What do we need to do?” now strapping up faraday hat |

GCHQ once tried to recruit my brother, he wasn't interested, probably because he knew they were into shady shit. |

His mate from college worked their and lost his security card, so they phoned my brother up for a character reference, i actually answered the phone i must have been 15 and I shit myself, some big wig from GCHQ on the other end asking for my brother. brother is a top programmer so they asked him down for an interview, I'm not sure if thats their usually recruiting policy but they obviously know their stuff. |

When is the future? Does it even exist? When will we get there? It seems to be a mystical place. Like 'here' and 'there'. I am always 'here', i am never 'there'. Totally pointless |

I think it only applies when your in a nursing home, and you see something radical you cant comprehend because you have been out of the loop for 20 years. but yes change is more insidious than that, we will think its normal when drones are following us beaming adverts into or skulls or people are regrowing limbs in 3d printers. |

improvements to medicine and technology are cool, but they don't change the underlying fact that most humans are numbskulls. history will continue to repeat itself despite our ever-cooler set of toys |

i see both sides, diamondtron. i am old enough to remember life before the internet, but young enough to be of it. i'm thoroughly in the desktop camp myself, but when i caught myself whining about those kids with their phones i gave myself a good hard smack. then i bought one. i still don't really like it, but at least i understand it. i will also say that these devices are what you make of them: like, android (phone OS) can be rooted and you can do most anything you want with it. but that's hard and all. few bother to crack it open and dump in some acid. |

1 serious post amongst a million angst ridden ridiculed classless put downs you couldnt be more wrong. the future never happened. tomorrows world got cancelled (don't laugh, there was a serious reason behind this, and it wasn't maggie philbin's fucked up face), we were promised so much, flying cars, 3 day weeks, eternal happiness etc. now look. and look no further than the ppl here and how they interact (well, some of them do). technology has ground to a halt, and this is all there is. so fucking get used to it. because it will not get any better soon. and you['re a fool if you think it will. |
