1984
1984. Jeez. There was a time when that word sounded futuristic. 1984? That was 22 years ago. Some of my friends weren't even born yet. George Orwell wrote of a nightmare future in 1984.
In 1984, Ridley Scott directed a very expensive commercial for Apple computers. Here it is here. It involves what looks like a Hooters girl throwing a sledgehammer at a huge screen. It's pretty cool if a little dated. But check out the (sort of) lego set here.
Well I think it's pretty cool anyway.
And hey. Remember that scratch video on youtube? Reminds me of the kick ass Lauryn Hill video that came out a long time ago.
2001 was a few years back now as well. Arthur C Clarke and Stanley Kubrick promised us balletic space travel, Artificial Intelligence and Monoliths. Experts in a number of fields promised us the second coming, the age of aquarius, and Y2K.
New Year's Eve just whispered on by.
According to the mayans, the world is supposed to end in 2012. I wonder what'll happen after we blow by that marker as well.
I keep seeing the people that expect this world to end get disappointed and I love it.
