How has your world changed over the past five years?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 17, 2009:

With the purchase of a second-hand tardis in 2005, I've been able to soar into the wonderful world of tomorrow and avail myself of all the benefits that are to come.

I'm immune to everything from flu to cancer thanks to the immune-boosting nanobots swimming playfully with my leukocytes.Other nanobots guarantee that I will live to be 850 years old. Boosts to my neurotransmitters have given me an IQ of 200. Carbon filament bone grafts have given me incredible strength and flexibility. Fast-muscle twitch receptor enhancement gives me greater reflex speed than the most advanced martial artist currently living. Twelfth-generation hemisynch tek has me in the nondual state 24/7.

You might think this is all fab but I'm on lethal doses of antidepressants. There are no more challenges. Really. In the 23rd century, theres nothing to push against. We got the climate thing and the economy thing sorted. We don't use money. And it's so fucking boring.

So all the 24th century travellers come back to a bit of second milenial muckraking. 1789 is a great crowd puller. There are no real nouvelle regime bourgeoisie storming the Bastille; they are all 25th century thrillseekers mobbing it up like a frigging Arsenal-Spurs aftergame dustup. Honestly. Wars were not fought out of ethnocentric concerns. They were manufactured in order to give the idle third millenials something to do.

Don't buy a tardis folks. All these struggles give us meaning and value.

I had now idea what a Tardis was until googling it 19 minutes ago. I still haven't stopped giggling. Jon, your posts are one of the things saving me from lethal doses of antidepressants. And yes the guillotine, so cutting edge…..

I remember feeling bored for about 5 seconds back in 1968. Wouldnt mind a Tardis to go back there for a rest occasionally.

Maybe I'll use the money I saving to buy a Tardis for some thing more useful, a kitchen renovation, perhaps.  Great take on the Future,  ” In the year 2525, if Man is still alive, if Woman can survive,”
