“Somehow, I doubt very much that everything you and others imagine about the future will come true; it never has before3, when people predict what will be “normal” in 20, 50, or 100 years.”
Not predicting. Talking about my now.
“You only read at the library,on a machine? With a book, you can read ANYWHERE”
Notice. I use my tablet and phone.
“And pssssssssssssssst...we have “keyless” cars, but the STILL have sort of a key. ;^)”
I don’t have to touch the fob to operate my car.
I’d like to thing all of us would be concerned about having the right things on hand following a massive EMP attack, meteor strike, or other civilization destroying event. Too much reliance on RF and computer widgets is not that wise.
Call me a Luddite, I don't care, reading a book, a REAL BOOK, is better than reading on a machine ( iPad and phone, or anything else that they may dream up ), because nobody can change a word of it, nor delete it on you. There's also a trail, of what you are reading and privacy, of any kind, is getting harder and harder to have now.
You think that I don't know how the KEY fob, for a car works, when I tell you that I have TWO of them, for two different cars? LOL
It's still a key...you can't open the doors without one on your person and neither will the car start. ;^)
