The Distant Future

Ever since I was a little kid I've tried to imagine what the future would be like. Everyone does. Will we have hover cars? Holographic TVs? Houses that clean themselves? Tonight at Christmas, while listening to my grandmother try to keep up in a conversation about the Internet, I realized what the future will be like. There will be incredible technological advancements. Our children will love them, we will be too old to understand them. Once you hit 50 that's it, that's all the technology you're going to understand for the rest of your life.

PS The conversation was about how I wrote a script for Collegehumor. The conversation was something like this:
Grandma: Is that for the–what is that–the Internet?
Me: Yup.
Grandma: Oh, well I can't watch that, obviously. You can record it and show it to me.
