Yes, you, with your smug little web addresses, fancy search engines, and gloriously unfiltered opinions.  And do you know what?  I'm jealous!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;You see, I've seen the future.  Not only will you no longer exist, but man will soon be ruled by apes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;*Cough*  Those are the two big things I took away from the 1968 classic.  No internet and ape rulers.  And then I realized, due to my being born in 1986, and therefore oblivious to all things prior, I failed to see that the internet of today was not around in '68.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;How the hell did people deal with life?  I have a question needing answering, I google it! (Google now being a verb!)  I want to tell someone something?  Email!  I'm looking for some pictures of questionable moral value?!  I google it again! (Questions and pictures sometimes go hand in hand, folks.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;I'm proud to be part of this technological era.  I grew up in the great state of New York and first discovered this wondrous 'World Wide Web' waaay back in 1995.  My family had just gotten our first household computer, a Pentium 90.  This thing had the powerhouse processing power of a modern-day palm pilot. (And that's being generous.)  I discovered Napster and Yahoo, online encyclopedia's and fart joke compendiums!  I was in heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;And then technology just took off.  I'm typing my first blog on a horrendously outdated Core 2 Duo, whose graphics card has more memory than my family's good ol' Gateway of '95.  I'm astounded by recent innovations in Solid State Drives and Core i7 technology.  There's no telling what tomorrow will bring us!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Just keep those no-good apes in their place!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Wishing you the best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;~Steve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4536001174769653331-6700505953323437826?l=mentallyconstemplated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mentallyconstemplated.blogspot.com/feeds/6700505953323437826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mentallyconstemplated.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4536001174769653331/posts/default/6700505953323437826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4536001174769653331/posts/default/6700505953323437826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mentallyconstemplated.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-blog.html' title='First Blog!'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07743325727025416600</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
