Just think, in the future some kid will say "My great grandfather was a well known App developer!" or "Great Aunt Madison worked for T-Mobile"

That doesn't sound too odd. People today and in the future can still brag about their grand parents art or sports careers.

Hmmm, wonder how future technology might affect those?

I meant it just seems odd to contemplate that things that sound so contemporary now will someday be talked about as old timey. It started with my brother and I joking around that someday in the future someone will say that their grandpa worked as an energy drink promoter.

Maybe it will be trivial to look up information on most people.

I can't really get behind the smartphone movement. Most of the touchscreens I've used have been horribly calibrated. I could get behind a tablet with a stylus, possibly, but I do like my keyboard in the meantime.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe.

You know, we've succeeded in putting on man on the moon before seventies. I think we will be able to put a man on Mars in six decades.

I'd much rather have a Gundam than a Kill Sat.

Would Humongous Mecha ever be necessary? I mean, I'd rather spend budget on missiles that can kill hit a fly from the opposite side of the earth. Then again, Kill Sat isn't any more efficient either, as far as I know.

That said, yeah I would like to have some Gundam.

A Kill Say is infinitely more practical though.

[up][up] Compared to Gundam, I'm sure. I no practically nothing about military technologies and tactics so I don't know if Kill Sat will be practical at all.

The Outer Space Treaty bans signatories from putting WMDs in space, so that rules out killsats, assuming it holds. The Space Preservation Treaty bans all weapons in space, but nobody important is a signatory.

I'm actually considering having a Kill Sat as THE most powerful weapon in my current writing project but oh well, Artistic License is the way, I guess.

RAM? Maybe.

I meant it just seems odd to contemplate that things that sound so contemporary now will someday be talked about as old timey.
I like to do the opposite thing sometimes, imagining how something that looks so obviously old and dated must have been new and exciting at some point, for example in car design.

Cities will have a ground level, and then increasing levels in order to accommodate human populaces.
