The Future of the Present

Nostalgia. A daydreaming drift back to yeasteryear filled with warm indulgances of crappy things. But spare a though for people growing up today. What will they have to be nostalgic about? It's always a dificult thing to predict since the act requires distance and the removal of oneself from the events but it's hard to guess what will be conscidered nostalgic in fifteen years time or so.

For me, video games from the 80s will always provide a kick or jolt of reminiscence partly due to just how different they are to today's. Forward wind fifteen years. "O man, do you remember those video games we used to play? How they were almost photo-realistic? Instead of photo-realistic?" Or perhapse websites. Can you get all nostalgic about the internet?

Perhapse Blogs will be conscidered fare game in the future too.
