Say 100 years from now someone jumped into the wayback machine (or it's equivalent) and perused the internet as if it were present time (today).
What do you think they'd make of mylot? Or any social media for that matter?
I think people would probably be very surprised. I am sure that technology would be far more advanced and that this would seem prehistoric in comparison. I do wonder if social media would have survived. Would people still be using sites like facebook, or would those have gone extinct? Would there be a far more superior way to communicate with people, even more instantaneous then it already is?

You think so? I'm not so sure. Not that this site hasn't lasted many years anyway...

You know, they do say that history has a way of repeating itself. I was thinking about that just a few minutes ago. I don't know that we will be back in caveman times, but then we might be. It's sad that we destroy our planet every day. Too much plastic, too much chemical waste.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Too much of everything is bad for the planet we should protect.

@LadyDuck I agree. We need to protect our earth. We need to be careful what we put into the soil and what we take out of it as well. We have to live off of this land, no manner of synthetic material will ever replace the goodness of nature's bounty.

@snowy22315 I am not so sure I'd want to see what it would be like 100 years from now. I think that the advancement of technology would just be too much for me.

I think so too. A landline telephone would seem like Ancient Egypt in comparison.

They would probably laugh and find it very simple and boring compared their own technology. I think that our internet connections would make them laugh as well because they probably have no personal experience with slow and unstable internet connections

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes,I think that technology will be better and faster. So many things have already changed since I started using the internet in the late 90s, and the changes will continue.
I once bought an old magazine from the 1950s ,and the journalist tried to predict how life would be by the year 2000. He predicted that people would communicate via computers, but he was wrong about most of the other things. He wrote that the Olympics would take place on the moon, people would live on Mars and cars wouldn't exist (according to him each person would own a private plane and we would fly around from place to place instead of using cars)
Maybe our predictions of the future are wrong as well, and people will find them amusing one day.

Yes, I am sure that technology would be even more instaneous than it already is. A few people here believe that we will revert back to old ways, but I think that we have atleast another 200 years before technology reverts back to the way it once was, and we are back to doing things in a more basic way.

@Porcospino I am sure that you are probably right. We have had some far-fetched predictions about the future. I remember how The 80's movie Back To The Future had thought somethings would be. Sleek television, skateboards without wheels. I believe there were flying cars everywhere if I'm not mistaken.
I think our predictions are probably half true and half far fetched. Technology will advance beyond our expectations but perhaps not in the same way we expect it to.

@wanghui Yes, well, things will be different ten years from now, but not as different as they will be 100 years from now.

I do not think that mylot would ever introduce video chat or voice chat.

I suspect they would be appalled at some of the inane stuff that regularly gets shared on here. There are a lot of interesting people who are actually doing things with their time but there are some who I really think could use a swift kick in the rear to get them out of the rut they seem to be stuck in. (I could probably be included in that list myself sometimes)
I was scrolling through a few users that I don't usually follow last night and I noticed that there are a few who seem to write virtually the same post every day.

Oh yes, there are about three or four that write the same post every day. Mostly for the sake of writing and earning a few cents. We've got a lot of different types of people here. I think atleast five or six are on disability, or if not in the US, otherwise governmentally assisted.
We all get in those ruts sometimes and can use a good swift kick in the rear.

@SophiaMorros Oh I see, yes I have seen one or two of those characters. Their writing style used to be vastly different. Now I just ignore them, and have heard that they aren't quite the nicest person anyway.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I understand disabilities and those who are retired. It's those who think others are interested in what they are smoking and watching on TV that make me shake my head sometimes. Especially when they repeat the same thing month after month.

Some interesting questions? I think that in the future, we will not be typing anymore and voice activation will be perfected.

It might end up that way or similarly, however, I think there is atleast 100 more years of advancement before the world returns to what it once was.

Probably they would be wishing that they could have the same kind of thing.
Might be pretty boring in 100 years time all the latest gadgets but no one to talk to like we do here.

I am sure there will be something to occupy their time. Societies always find a way to entertain themselves.

It would just be like reading Victorian or Elizabethian literature where English is just a bit different. I read American Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, although I could understand it there were a few lines and words that I had to search. 100 years is not really a long time for a language to change but very long for technology.

Yes, I was referring more towatds the technological chnge than the language change.

I am sure that this would be somewhat obsolete 100 years from now. They probably would laugh at our mode of communication as well as some of the things we've said.
