Both my parents are in their 70's now and they don't seem very old to me either. <br /><br />@Mooderino - I predict that your prediction is correct.<br /><br />@PT - What is the next Apocalypse? I'm sure one will come up pretty soon. You know, the 2020 Aztec curse or something. <br /><br />@MJ - Finished it last night. Awesome. <br /><br />@Andrew - No, the present is now, the future is <br />later. Geez. Oh wait, I get it. Yes, you're right. <br /><br />@Nicole - Thanks for the well wishes. And yes, I shudder when I have to compete with a machine to do something artistic. So sad.<br /><br />@Jo - Yes, I stare into the mirror and swear that the person looking back isn't me. It's disturbing.<br /><br />@Golden - yes, the things that make humans unique are getting less and less numerous. Gourmet cooking maybe will still be a human endeavor for a while.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-2360723247089096512013-01-09T17:51:58.894-05:002013-01-09T17:51:58.894-05:00I don't think computer-generated books are too...I don't think computer-generated books are too far off, either.

I dread the thought of...50 to me is so young Alex.<br /><br />I dread the thought of computer generated novels, they would be full of tropes.<br /><br />We did something similar at school as a kid, thought about how old we would be in 2000. I thought I would never get that old.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-16056928813803432352013-01-09T14:57:11.674-05:002013-01-09T14:57:11.674-05:00Ouch, the idea of computer written novels makes me...Ouch, the idea of computer written novels makes me cry a little inside.

I'm sure a lot of people weren't thinking much past 2012 since the Mayans were supposed to kill us all. Now what are we supposed to look forward to?PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-19983121861949221422013-01-09T08:03:33.194-05:002013-01-09T08:03:33.194-05:00I predict computer written novels will be very bad...I predict computer written novels will be very bad, barely readable and hugely successful.mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-36540327957405463812013-01-09T06:53:47.602-05:002013-01-09T06:53:47.602-05:00Well, they say monkeys could write a novel.
