    Myspace barely lasted a decade. Facebook will be gone by 2025. Maybe FB will take longer to fizzle out since billions use it monthly. Google will have new powers or be replaced by a new search engine. Who knows, our computers might be the size of a chip or integrated into our foreheads by that distant era.

    I think people will not know of me when all that occurs, aye.

    Or, my internet history will be laughable - Someone likely prehistoric, who actually used a keyboard to type.

    I might be wrong but I just see technology expanding to a whole new era by then... We moved pretty fast to get here.

    While much of my most prolific writing remains under lock and key in and throughout my journals specifically established for my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, etc... when I am set free (maybe by 2050)... I hope to have produced at least one book (or micro chip) worthy enough to sustain a powerful and timeless message long after I'm gone... (overshadowing any negative internet history... cause I never visited those sites, I swear...)

    As Napoleon Hill states; "If the mind can conceive it... you can achieve it"

    Now by 2050 reading in itself may be somewhat obsolete, and instead be 'implanted, uploaded, and included as chips to perpetuate the mandatory "human computer enhancer" at birth, whereby, our kids - kids may be programmed with higher intelligence from the factory... so to speak.

    If so, I hope we can record sections of life, and let them replay at will as a reminder of who they are, and where they came from... I just want 1 GB of space on their memory card, lol.

    My end goal... to be remembered as a philanthropist, visionary, spiritualist, artist, comedian, prolific writer, and a passionate time traveler.

    Still working on assembling all this at the moment... but figuring in another 36 years, 8 months, and a little under 4 days... I should be close to completion, LOL.

    Well, social entry has the right idea. My internet history has been polluted beyond belief. Mis quotes, program errors, other people posting, misposts, scrapping, viruses, badly behaved sites, etc.... In short, if someone like google analyzed all they had on me, they would find it isn't a good picture of me.

    Besides, I have researched some things that led me places I otherwise wouldn't go. HECK, a guy that I consider an evil villain seriously thinks I am a SUPPORTER!!!!! He has thanked me, asked for help, etc... SERIOUSLY! How is THAT for weird!

    My future relatives will see me about the same way mine do now. Fun loving, staunch freedom fighter, writer, rockhound -- and just unbelievably technically clueless.

    They may think I was brilliant ... or a maroon (to borrow from Bugs Bunny). Chances are it will be somewhere in between. I would turn 95 in 2050, so I'm thinking I won't be too concerned about whatever anyone thinks.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

        Brian - I LOVE that mammal!

        I don't post anything that would be an embarrassment to myself, family or descendants.

        I think somewhere in the future someone will look at Facebook pages and Tweets and wonder what on earth we were thinking to jabber so much about nothing.

        It may be future equivalent of fiddling while Rome burned.

        January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
        So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.
