For example, learning to masturbate properly. Then they too would be able to see what's coming, at least in a manner of speaking.... .

Okay .......... I guess its better not to discuss these comings and goings, because we are supposed to make discussions on technology related topics here. But I wouldn't disagree with the metaphor you went with to elaborate your point.

Windows introduced in 1985 revolutionised the computer world, it is bcoz of windows, the world has this fast got used to computers. Think of alternatives, the mac---was everyone in the world rich enough to get a mac? or are they now?. the linux- it was lacking standardisation across different versions so as is now. windows and their way of liscensing and their not so strict action against piracy, surely revolutionised the word of tech.
Windows is older than I am hahaha =P
And 'On November, 20 1985, Microsoft released Windows 1.0, a 16-bit graphic user environment that was considered to be state-of-the-art at the time.' aaaaaaahahaha 16 bit graphics? you don't even need a graphics card today for almost HD graphics because most motherboards come with it as standard... how far they've come =)
At least they had brilliant music back then(80's) =D

In 2035, the grand children can talk about Grandpa gaming on an ancient Microsoft OS called Windows 7.

My sentiments exactly. The same would be true for,"My Documents", My Pictures", and last but not least, "My Music". Or perhaps, I might choose the ever so slightly more succinct, but more emphatic, "go **** yourself"!
All kidding aside, if you asked me to run, "Limewire Pirate Edition", I'd pull my own plug, or trip the house circuit breakers.
Then when it got close to Christmas, all my blue screens would read, "BAH HUMBUG".....!

We've settled that. The world ends in the year 2012, but we all put our consciences into our PCs, and they live on forever, sticking their USB and Esata plugs into one another with erotic abandon, blissfully unaware that you can catch, "CAIDS" from some dirty old Emachine..
Or as the children call it, "hooking up".

(If) The world ends in 2012
Everything is destroyed, the planet has disintegrated
It will take thousands of years for there to be a new planet with just the right conditions
Then once there is a planet with perfect condition, life will start in the sea and slowly evolve over thousands of years
Finally there will be humans and then after a while we will discover bronze and etc etc
So in 25 years, now that I thought about it, there will be *drum roll*
...
DUST!
That's only if 2012 happens though. (Sorry to go off topic)
kinda like Y2K right ? lol....Are you Y2k ok? lol

Sorry to cause this discussion to go off track! I said if (in brackets) when I was talking about 2012. I think that we should all think "The world won't end in 2012" and it won't happen. Stop thinking about it concentrate more on other stuff like ... life.
Concentrating too much on one thing can change its outcome ........... Quantum Theory and Meditation
I am going to wake up on the 22nd of december 2012 and laugh at everyone who had fears of death. I am going to call everyone and yell, "I'M ALIVE!!!"
Lol

Many of my generation (I'm 54) would say that Microsoft and the PC revolution are what is causing the collapse of civilization, and from a certain perspective, they're right. So what happens when everyone is illiterate and spends all their time tweeting, texting, and playing violent games on the giant screen TV when they're not using it to watch inane sit-coms? Why, the imploding of western economies as no one produces anything here anymore except debt! Maybe technology should be restricted like tobacco and alcohol until adulthood to keep it from rotting young brains. No, that wouldn't work, just creates another black market commodity. My plan is to enjoy my fast Windows 7 computer and my games until the raging hordes of hungry unemployed Yuppies strip the land of everything useful, then try to hole up in the woods somewhere and ride out on solar power, shooting any marauders who would try to take my place. Look what happened to Rome, the greatest civilization on Earth, and they didn't even have Microsoft to help speed up the collapse.
