Five Years

Ok so lots of celebration about boinng being five years old, but what has changed in the years since its inception?
What will life be like in another five years?
Your thoughts...

Re:Five Years

In another five years, I'll be completely bald. Planet Boinng will be a virtual terrain, which visitors will explore with goggles and vibrating bodily attachments. also, everyone will wear tin foil.

i hold these things to be self-evident.

Re:Five Years

that version (or version of that version) used netradio for music, who are dead now sadly...

as for the captain's log, the reason it's not there is that it was written as a diary-x blog, and cleverly i never backed it up.. but i have found this on archive.org-

http://web.archive.org/web/*/boinng.diary-x.com/*

not every episode, but a few...

Re:Five Years

According to an advert on the TV they say we will all wear those glasses that change colour in the light/dark (even people who don't need glasses!) with matching colour changing clothes in the future. We will also live in domes with automatic doors...

Have just thought, if the advert is right then the people who already do wear the colour changing glasses are ahead of time...or maybe the advert is just silly!

everyone in the future will wear glasses of some sort, because they'll all be super-intelligent, and hence shortsighted like me (it's the pressure from the huge brain on the backs of the eyeballs, see). i almost have a dome already..

Re:Five Years

i'll let you get away with the dome thing but you don't have automatic doors do you?!

is that what is pushing all your hair out too? It looks like it starts in the front with the eyeballs and works its way back.
