thursday night thoughts.
i sometimes cringe at what would happen if the grid actually went down.
not from the standpoint of finances or entertainment... not even in the survival sense.
humans have done it forever.
probably be better for us anyways.
i cringe because the last time i developed a photo and then stuck it in a physical book was 15+ years ago.
i remember my parents had a basement shelf full of old photo albums.
my kids won't have those to thumb through. they won't know the smell of old musty heavy books full of over-and under-exposed pictures.
in 200 or 2000 years, we may be forced to revert back to living a slower, more natural life where there is no internet.
i wonder if they'll look back at these as the Dark Ages: very little physical evidence in books and photos to keep record of what we did and thought.
