Roo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Someone from 2000 briefly takes a time machine 20 years into the future, and isn't made privy to the pandemic during his stay. Sees people gorging on much faster data Sees people looking at their mobiles, wearing headphones and not looking where they are going Sees a lot of awkward failed handshakes and general anxiety Sees less cars on the roads Sees people keeping distance from one another Sees people hoarding toilet paper Sees no congregations of people, no discernible interest in sport, religion, social beverage chats, etc. Sees no elderly people (have they been Logan Run'd? Do they just go full-digital recluse once their body is too painful to move about?) Makes assumptions about technology's isolating, reclusive effect on social behaviours, reports this in 2000, and everyone thinks it sounds legit and measures are introduced as a result to counteract such tendencies.

Being a bookworm who occasionally found my clingy friends annoying, I'd be lovin' it. Those prison movies where they just seem to read in their cell all day sounds like a holiday to me. I was a well-behaved kid anyway and grounding wasn't really a thing in our household. If you did something really bad my father used to give a couple backside whacks with a bamboo stick. Oh yeah, I would have loved this as a child. No school and no boring family visits? Just stay at home and play games, read books, watch movies, etc? Sign me the fuck up!
