Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I'm around. Finally off of work for the week, except I'll have to go in earlier than usual next week. So now I get to try to relax a bit. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Good thing too, or HOP would disappear. Also, anyone have any ideas for HOP discussions now? Quote
Kuroida Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 wait a sec. Why will HOP dissapear? o.0 Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 HOP wouldn't 'disappear', really, but it would become to old to use, if nobody got online enough to go on it. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 If the HOP went 21 days without a post, it would be too old, and if someone posted, it would be forever locked. While I've been having school, and it's been tough, I've been able to get a little time to pop up. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I don't think the HOP getting locked would ever be a real concern. There's not a very good chance that it would be left to sit for 3 weeks without someone posting. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Of course, if by some chance it did get locked, we'd just make a new one, and become more active. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I agree. It's been able to last for 4 years, and it nearly got closed before and still made it through. It should be able to last for generations of TDN. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Maybe even more than that... decades... centuries.... millenniums.... Will internet still be around then? Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Internet will have long evolved by then. But I don't know if TDN would last several millenia. I would guess 30 more years. By then, most moderators (including any new ones we may get) will have moved on, Ian as well. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I think it's a fairly permanent fixture in the TDNF life. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Yeah... and also a place where lots of people got their posts. Though CAV, internet probably will, as you said, of moved on. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Internet will not have moved on. It will instead evolve, and go into new forms. Holographic, perhaps? Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 That would be cool. Project a 3D image on to anywhere, and use the internet, all with just one little chip. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 3D anywhere doesn't sound like it would provide much privacy. :P Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 but you'd wear special glasses, and only yourself would be able to see... it would be projected on to you glasses. And when you think 'click button' it would do it. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Hmmm. Maybe I'm anti-change, but I like computers/the internet the way it is. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Yeah... but then, there will be no computers. There will just be super-ultra-mega-chips. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 You never know, the computer might just change. It won't be what we know it to be today. Quote
Kuroida Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 micro chips. In the future. Computers will be small enough to fit on a contact lens...or at least, that's what they say *shruggs* Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Or maybe, computers will still exist... but just on online museums! Quote
-Ryan Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I can't wait for the day when we can talk in the HOP, only we'll all be sitting in a virtual room as holograms. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 That would be cool. It would be even cooler if we could teleport to each other and talk in real, face-to-face conversations. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 but you'd wear special glasses, and only yourself would be able to see... it would be projected on to you glasses. The 3DS can project 3D WITHOUT the glasses, and that's coming out in less than a year. I'm pretty sure that in a thousand years EVERYONE can do that. Hmmm. Maybe I'm anti-change, but I like computers/the internet the way it is. ANTI-CHANGE ALERT! Quote
jumpingbeans Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 CAV: you already told us about that, and I'm saving up to get one now. What? Someone's anti-change? Man the boundaries! Do your duties! Quote
