this weird, wired world >> from the pen of boot
I know when I first read those trail-blazing authors of the Golden Age they made me dizzy with wonder and amazement. However, I’m not sure I ever completely believed that any of those technological wonders could come true, certainly not when I was around to be a part of it.
Oh, I wished it would come true. Wished so hard that it hurt. Stared at the sky and imagined the impossible and the unlikely, wished until the stars began to blur.
I make fun of the things that didn’t eventuate, as have and do others - “where are all the flying cars?” ... “why don’t I have my own personal jet-pack?” ... “when are we going to control the weather already?” - but, in truth, what has eventuated in the ‘future’ is all the more magnificent in its everyday and ordinary way. The things I see daily, the thing I’m using right now, the stuff I take for granted should leave me breathless and speechless.
There isn’t the right word for it yet, but this real world-wide-web, this community across the miles, spanning loneliness and inspiration, it is the product of everything those authors wished for, imagined and wrote about.
I salute them all and I am glad I was here to see it.
