Dear Diary,
I remember my teenage years.
I remember my high school years as a student.
I remember hanging out with friends during school lunch.
I remember checking out the girls in real life. Beautiful.
I remember Physical Education, I got bullied alot for being a "nerd".
I remember holding books in my hand. They gave me the best memories.
So i remember alot of things during my high school. The good old beginnings of the 21st Century. With my MP3 Player in my pocket, a flip phone in my hand, and my Gameboy SP in my other pocket. Kids these days dont know the feeling of holding things in your hand. Its all touchable holograms now! Its even stranger for them to visualize a person having multiple gadgets with them. In my age, a wearable computer was holding electronics with your hand.
These days, most people only have one gadget. Remember the App Store that Apple Computers invented back in the day? Back then, a smartphone could have multiple apps. Now, a gadget can have multiple virtual electronics! The best way i can describe it is, remember Fruity Loops and all those music creation software? Well instead of a digital synthesizer, a digital piano, a digital turntable, these days a gadget has multiple electronics as apps that can be aimed in an empty place and they appear!
Now there are virtual people walking everywhere! Back in 2012, the first holograms were of dead musicians recreated from the dead, with one of the first being Tupac Shakur, (he was an urban rapstar), was recreated for a concert in Coachella , California [ now Coachellium, Great Bear Cyberepublic].
First came the earphones. It stopped people from listing to others and isolating themselves.
Then came the smartphones and texting. People didnt have to see themselves in person to communicate.
After that was social networking. There was a website called Facebook that had over 1.4 billion people in its peak, but went bankrupt in 2034 when Panoramic Virtual Worlds became popular. Ill get back to that in a second.
After social networking, Augmented Reality sparked an information revolution, and everything has a tri-holograph barcode, and because of humans natural drive to have sex, Augmented Dating is what really commercialized Augmented Reality. Everyone with AR contacts on had a "pimple chip" between their eyebrows that stored a public profile about them, and everyone else could bring it up when they looked at someones forehead. Later ugly people could change their physical appearance, and make themselves prettier to anyone with AR on. And those darn cybergoths would always scare the crap out of me when they would walk around as monsters.
And this was just the 2040s. Sigh, now I must go to bed. I ran out of Concetrated Sleep pills and have to go to sleep the old fashioned way..8 whole hours, freaking 1/3.. yes 1/3!!! of a day instead of my usual 3 hours.
Ill write about the next 30 years when i wake. Sleeping 8 hours is so barbaric.
