*Write about* "1995-2007 futures are gone for us now"

The year is 2023 and we are living in a world that is radically different from what we imagined in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The internet boom, the dot-com bubble, the rise of social media, the advent of smartphones and tablets, the emergence of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, the globalization and digitalization of everything - all these trends have shaped our lives in ways that we could not have predicted or prepared for.

But what about the futures that we dreamed of back then? The futures that were promised to us by science fiction, by visionary thinkers, by optimistic entrepreneurs? The futures that we hoped for, that we worked for, that we invested in? Where are they now?

In this blog post, I will explore some of the futures that we lost in the past two decades and why they did not materialize. I will also reflect on what we can learn from them and how we can create new futures that are more realistic, more sustainable and more desirable.

The Future of Work

One of the futures that we envisioned in the late 1990s and early 2000s was the future of work. We imagined that the internet would enable us to work from anywhere, anytime, with anyone. We imagined that we would have more flexibility, more autonomy, more creativity and more productivity. We imagined that we would be able to pursue our passions, our talents and our interests without being constrained by geography, time zones or corporate hierarchies.

But what happened instead? The internet did not liberate us from work; it intensified it. It made us more connected, more accessible, more accountable and more competitive. It blurred the boundaries between work and life, between professional and personal, between public and private. It created new forms of stress, anxiety, burnout and isolation. It also created new forms of inequality, exploitation and precarity. It disrupted many industries, sectors and professions, displacing millions of workers and creating new skills gaps and labor shortages.

The future of work that we dreamed of is gone for us now. We need to rethink how we work in the digital age, how we balance our needs and aspirations with our responsibilities and obligations, how we collaborate and communicate with our colleagues and clients, how we learn and adapt to changing demands and opportunities.

The Future of Education

Another future that we envisioned in the late 1990s and early 2000s was the future of education. We imagined that the internet would enable us to access unlimited information, knowledge and wisdom from anywhere, anytime, with anyone. We imagined that we would have more choice, more diversity, more quality and more affordability. We imagined that we would be able to learn anything, anytime, anywhere, at our own pace and style.

But what happened instead? The internet did not democratize education; it commodified it. It made us more dependent on standardized tests, rankings, credentials and certificates. It made us more vulnerable to misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. It made us more passive consumers of content rather than active creators of meaning. It also made us more isolated learners rather than engaged participants in communities of practice.

The future of education that we dreamed of is gone for us now. We need to rethink how we learn in the digital age, how we curate our sources of information, how we evaluate our sources of knowledge, how we apply our sources of wisdom, how we share our sources of inspiration.

Zombie society? ("Internet Communist TM?")

question is, if we, in the end , wouldnt end in the same path as those we hate, those rich b****es. tired to improve things, and to just see others suffer, because it is ever easier than to build anew, where everything , the "floor", is just past fame, glitter and zombieland that wont die

The Evolution of Salutations and Sign off's in 6,500 miles away...but getting closer.

*With pre-sign off’s where included

A breakdown of @sapphicscholarwrites and BearsInCastles Sanvers long distance penpal fic, 6,500 miles away... but getting closer.

I’ve included the time and date for each timezone, the time lapsed since the last letter/email was sent, the salutation and sign off used, a pre-sign off where used, whether a PS was included , if Alex sent the email from her iPhone, and the word count of each letter/email. I’ve defined a pre-sign off as a single sentence (occasionally two) that acts as a sort of sign off on it’s own, for example “If you have any questions let me know!”, or “Thanks! I really appreciate it.” The heading date is also linked to the AO3 page where the letter can be read.
