Lost tablet

Post by dtaai-maai »

I thought I was reasonably well established in the 21st century by now, but apparently not quite as much as I thought. When I saw the headline "Clues on a lost tablet to a secret Russian army", my first thought was "Ooo how interesting, must be a stone tablet from some ancient civilisation with some Nostradamus-like predictions." Something like this:

You can imagine how disappointed I was to find it was more like this :oops: :laugh: :

I am being serious here.

Do you think in 100 years' time there will be archaeologists who will retrieve hard drive platters, solid state memory modules, optical discs and recreate elements of our society for study?

OR

Do you think we have provided them with TOO much information already? With the likes of Facebook alone they can simple trace back the lifestyle of the Jones family in Middlesex. They will have so much information, a veritable study of our pubic hair.
