I've got the next greatest idea for a sci fi film and need to find Keanu Reeves. It's about a guy who, for decades, adds to his social networking profile through blogs, social networks, micro blogging, and other unheard of tools, only to find - two hundred years after his death- that he wasn't real at all, but only a network of interlinked web sites and social media tools. Scary, huh?
I was reflecting with my wife on the fact that it's unlikely that our children will know the names of and identities of our great grandparents, if even we do today (which I don't). Yet, my great, great, great grandkids, and beyond - assuming my kids have kids - will be able to "Google" or find me through some "WayBack Machine." Anything is possible.
As a matter of fact, I may (or my kids may, which is more likely) be able to sit down with their great great greats to do the search, assuming that our society can find a way to regenerate our cells at such a rapid rate that will cause us to age over 80 years, maybe even more. We've all seen those classic cars, still on the road, maybe not with wooden frames, but still on the road.
This is not science fiction. The possibilities of what we can achieve are limitless, if we don't kill each other first. Oh, and for those of you that want to follow Keanu Reeves, click here...even if it's not his "official" Twitter site.
