sigh<p>A friend wrote two <a href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsaccharineWorld" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crapsaccharine dystopia</a> anecdotes:</p><blockquote><p>I asked someone recently to download a file on their phone and I gave them a link to the file. They couldn't download the file because they kept pasting the link into their search engine application. I had told them to use their browser. Then later I asked them if they knew what an "application" is and they said "not really". I read online that a teacher in an elementary school handed out some textbooks to their new class of students, and the students were using their fingers to try to stretch the pictures bigger in their textbooks. I think in the future people won't be able to distinguish between technology and magic</p></blockquote><p>That last remark reminds me too strongly of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_(Asimov_novel)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Foundation</a> by Isaac Asimov.</p><p>From:</p><p><a href="https://kaka.farm/posts/a-few-anecdotes-from-our-crapsaccharine-dystopia.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kaka.farm/posts/a-few-anecdotes-from-our-crapsaccharine-dystopia.html</a></p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://shitposter.world/tag/asimov" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#asimov</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shitposter.world/tag/crapsaccharine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crapsaccharine</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shitposter.world/tag/dystopia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dystopia</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shitposter.world/tag/foundation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foundation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://shitposter.world/tag/technopriests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technopriests</a></p>
The Peter Pan of Nerdery™ 🇦🇺<p>It's been almost ten years since we moved into our current house and I wasn't able to find my small but beloved collection of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/graphicnovels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>graphicnovels</span></a>. Began to think it had somehow got lost in the move. Happily I FINALLY found the box last night, hidden behind other boxes at the top of my man cave closet. Coulda sworn I had V for Vendetta as well.
