> Also did any of you lads experience the Internet or BBSs in the 80's or 90's?
I didn't get to experience the pre-WWW internet or online culture (late 80s, early to mid 90s) but I did get to experience the late 90s internet before it died completely. There were Telnet BBS still around (dozens in fact) but what I think I miss most of all is USENET.
Something that was said about the post-WWW generation is that they'll largely never use any part of the internet that isn't a website; my prediction right now is that the current generation of kids will largely never use any part of the internet that isn't an app, even the idea of websites will be alien to them.
I predicted about six weeks before the EU referendum that May would be the next leader of the Tories after seeing a very cagey and vague interview she did with the Beeb. I posted about it in the relevant thread on here somewhere, but have yet to receive my one million Swiss francs reward.
Also Deus Ex famously lacks the twin towers from the New York skyline.
Not a prediction but when I was about 7 (which would be 1987) I had a dream I had a handheld "bus radar" which had a street map and showed where all the buses were moving about on it. It still kind of blows my mind that now there are apps for exactly that.
I predict that within at least ten years, we'll be wearing in ear translators and the teaching of foreign languages will be entirely obsolete or just a hobby
