I was browsing Tumblr just now, since deep down somewhere I’m a prepubescent girl. Anyway, I was looking through my funny feeds when I had a think-nugget.
What if this is the end of society? I don’t mean our death and destruction is imminent, but with websites like Tumblr ensuring that cultural artefacts remain relevant way past their lifespan, how can society evolve?
What if this is it?
What if this is what our culture will be in a thousand years? We’ll still talk about Supernatural, Pokemon and the black woman whose apartment caught fire but she didn’t have enough time to prepare properly and got bronchitis. Isn’t that disturbing?
Our technology will be different, but culturally, what will change?
Ignore me.
