OK David, I would like for Salma Hayek to kiss me so that I could change from a prince into a frog and then I could croak (or become someone's dinner). At least my family tree would have shown me as royalty. I predict that both of us are going to be kicked off of the website. Fritz

I am predicting the next big thing on the internet will be Wiki-Bios. http://www.wikibios.com/create.php In less than 10 years, nearly every human on the earth will be catalogued. The web-bios will include so many hyperlinks about you, that it will be like an encyclopedia of just you. Not just every photo you have ever appeared in, but also your gender, and gender preferences, intersexual, etc. It might even include location of moles, tattoes or other identifiers in case you turn up missing. It will have videos. And you will have little control over it, especially after you croak. Your family-tree will be hyper-linked to it. Employers will always refer to it. The IRS, FBI and others will be hyperlinked into it. When the police pull you over for a busted tail-light, they will have instant access to it. People caught fraudulently making web-bios will be sentenced to a Siberian Labor Camp. People with the most hits to their web-bio will when international awards similar to the Pulitzer and Nobel, and corporations will pay big money to post ads on the web-bios of normal people with popular web-bios. A person without a web-bio will be considered a renegade, and a danger to society. My next prediction ( by 2030 ), is that there will be something like certified mail by internet. Meaning a person could serve you legal papers by just e-mailing them to you without you acknowledging that you received them. It will be a crime to not read your certified e-mail and you will be sentenced to the Siberian Labor Camp. Your spouse could legally divorce you on-line without formally telling you. And 3rd ( by 2040 ), The United Nations will issue you an e-mail address at birth and that will be your only e-mail that you can use publically. Companies will have to apply for special inter-company e-mails for individuals requiring secure conferencing use. Anybody out there have any interesting predictions about the future: 2020, 2040, 2060, 2100, 3000, 5000, 10000, etc. David --------------------------------------------------------------------- Give this to a friend: [email protected] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Give this to a friend: [email protected] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
