iPads and Skype never cease to amaze me.

Also, wireless. Don't understand it ever. It's basically magic that stuff can get onto this tablet. Magic pixie dust.

And that technical knowledge is probably why I did history in Uni...

Vinylman?



I did initially have a Walkman as well. I also like to remain rather smug about predicting the fact that minidisc was going to be a failure. Not that I'm a technology prediction guru or anything, I was convinced the iPad was going to be a damp squib too!

I'm still holding to my prediction that blu-ray won't do very well.

I still don't understand how computers work with their CPUs and RAMs and shit. How the fuck did I get on these internets and how do they know what I want out of them?

And how the shit did Pseudo get a child? How do I miss these things?

I got one ready-made aged 12 (he's 17 now), so I missed out most of the annoying bits where he just shits and cries, and moved straight into the "I hate you, you're not even my real dad anyway"* part.

*Has disappointingly never said this, bloody teenagers.

I had a future moment in a men's bathroom at a restaurant a few weeks ago.

Wait for it...

No really. I got done with my business and went to the sink to wash up. Stuck my hands under the faucet, moved them back and forth a bit, wiggled my fingers. "Huh, must be busted". After some more gesturing I realized that it was a manual faucet I needed to turn the handles of.

Turn the fuckin handles!

Crazy future. I never visit the boroughs that don't have automatic blowjobs.

I have spent a lot of time in casinos, and they all have automatic faucets, towel and soap dispensers. When I go to the gym, it only has an automatic towel dispenser. It still gets me every once in a while, even though I have been going there for close to three years.

My boy went to a restaurant with his friends, and when he came back he talked for well over an hour about how great the toilets were.

The toilets in this place cannot possibly live up to my current expectations.

(I have no idea what the food is like, obviously. He hasn't really mentioned it.)

My car has more than a fob. It's built such that so long as my key fob is within proximity of the car I can lock/unlock any door or the trunk from an exterior button. I also have push–button start and my garage door opener is programmed into a button on my rearview mirror. So I can get in my car in the morning, leave for work, lock the car when I get to work, and the first time I have to get my keys out is when I have to unlock my office door. Let alone the fact that I am typing this message on a computer the size of a piece of paper with ten times the computing power and hard drive space than my first PC, and I'm doing so by sliding my finger over the screen. People may still be idiots but their toys are fun in the future.
