| The future of the Internet, as predicted in 1995 (YouTube) |
A cute,
humorous and largely accurate 1995 video made by a class of Helena, Montana,
5th graders attempts to predict what the Internet will be used for by the time
they get to college (roughly 2003). And you know what? They pretty much got
everything right.
Yes, even
in 1995, 5th graders knew that the modern-day Internet was destined to be
dominated by cats.
"Hey,
why should I be on the Internet?" asks one of the Ray Bjork Elementary
School students in the video.
"Well,
by the time I'm in college, the Internet will be our telephone, television,
shopping center, and workplace."
"And
it's already got more stuff on it than you could possibly imagine."
"In
less than an hour, you can visit the planet Jupiter, take a tour of the Sistine
Chapel, do research on the rainforest, get soccer scores for a team in Italy,
chat with a friend in Australia and I even found a recipe for cat food
cupcakes."
And the
students didn't have to wait until 2012 for their validation. According to the
YouTube page to which the video was uploaded, the Montana Media Group
production won a local ADDY Award in 1996 for Best PSA.
"It is
as much a part of the future as we are," one of the students declares at
the video's conclusion. "Shouldn't everybody be on the
Internet?"

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "
" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)
