You just know they were standing there thinking “this is incredible technology. I can’t imagine how it can get more advanced than this”. Makes me think all the time how we can’t even begin to comprehend what the next 100 years looks like.

idk fam it's not a given that tech will perpetually advance. 100 years from now we could be back to printed announcements posted in the town square.

Shouted announcements, reading is hard.

And maybe that is the case, but even so, I can’t comprehend that happening given the advancement in the last 100 years. Such an unknown. (Honestly, I think I’d be cool with printed announcements in the town square.)

They'll just feed whatever they think we need to know, directly into our brains.
