I have been working on a new project called SadTech. The idea is to try to project ourselves forward to 2050 and then look back at 2005. What will people in 2050 think about us?

When we look back at the 1950s, we think of the people living in the 1950s as primitive. They did not have PCs or internet access or answering machines or cell phones or DVDs or... HOW DID THEY SURVIVE??? People in 2050 will look back at us in exactly the same way. We think we are hip and high-tech, but they will think that we are pretty sad.

You can start by reading the introduction to SadTech, or these icons point to some of the specific articles. Click on one:
