Obviously a man with a well-stuffed couch, the Copenhagian Connoisseur of Collectable Detritus, Monsieur Jenkins, has once again uncovered a cracker.
Digging between the cushions for some spare change, he has uncovered a stunner of a newspaper article from 1995.
In the article, Carsten Graff waxes lyrical about how effing useless the internet is, the biggest waste and highest demand of time since the discovery of the baby. Proof of the argument that what you write today can come back to bite you in the bum many years from now.
The article reminds me of all those pundits in the 1970s who foresaw the growth of computer power and gleefully gazed into their crystal balls, prognosticating that we would be working 3 days a week, having 4 days a week of leisure, by 1990. And that happened, didn’t it?!
I can’t wait for Monsieur Jenkins to start spring cleaning his filing cabinet — imagine what treasure troves could be unearthed; all those rejected proposals because the demand for new technology (and the communication thereon) wasn’t there and would never likely be there, according to clients far wiser than us mere mortals…
