I'm so ronery

I should know better than to comment on Youtube videos, really. It raises the danger that people on it might reply to you. This video is a very interesting look at what people in the 1960s thought the home of the future might be like, and manages to predict Internet shopping/banking and tablet PCs, while getting the details of how they work wrong because of having no concept of how data might be able to be stored in the future. I said so:

DavidXNewton: It's amazing how accurate this is in what we can do with the Internet, but not in how it was done because they couldn't think beyond the technology of the time - the whole business with the cameras and microfiche-style viewers, because there was just no concept that images, bank statements and so on could somehow be stored and sent electronically.

dogchinafood1: i just see words but what the hell are u talking about i read your comment twice and still have no clue as to what your saying

I suppose I'm most incensed by the implication that this is somehow my own problem - I think that two attempts at the paragraph just weren't anywhere near enough for him. Never mind, I suppose you could just blame the education system.

It makes me appreciate all the more that despite the reaches of the Internet growing steadily worse as more people get on to it, in some safe havens, I still know people (some who I've known for years and have become geographically separated from, some who I would never have known without it) who are not interchangeable brainless meme-spewing automata. If you're reading this and have understood the words, this applies to you - thank you for not being an idiot. You make the Internet a better place.
