TIME magazine's Best Inventions Of The Year seem like a reasonable reference point. Of course, for the purposes of this blog, we call it the "So What List." As in, "so what? what are YOU going to invent in 2008 that's better, faster, cheaper, cooler, more useful? C'mon ... show us all how STUPID and SLOW we are because we're old and retarded and ONLY built cell phones and the internet.
Our generation gave you the FREEBIES of ubiquitous cell phones and the internet, we built those upon the FREEBIES of television and radio waves, which were built upon the FREEBIES of telephony and telegraphy, which was built upon the FREEBIES increasingly free scientific inquiry, which is built upon the FREEBIE of the relentless pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement.
So your opportunity to spite us all is 100% FREE. You don't need money, don't need fame, don't need no credit card to ride on this train.
So what are YOU doing to make things better, gurl and boi geniuses? Your assignment, as I've repeated here from time to time, is to BEAT CELL PHONES AND THE INTERNET. Before the telegraph, nobody could imagine sending signals over a wire. Before the telephone, nobody believed that voice could travel on that same wire. The same has been true of each successive generation of invention. So don't give me any whining about how "you can't possibly know" what to do next ... unless you're more STUPID AND LAME than the RETARDED OLD PEOPLE, of course.
Everyone else in the history of the earth has done it, so what's your bitchy little excuse?
C'mon, hotshots ... show me how stupid, old, boring, and retarded we are for only building these lame cellular intertubeweb thingies designed by Al Gore's brain soaked in a vat of Rock Star energy drink ... c'mon and show us what you have that TOPS CELL PHONES AND THE INTERNET.
Hello-ooo ... deet-duh-dee!!! ... we're WAAAAITING geniuses .... c'mon ... we're all so OLD and LAME and have nothing to contribute ... and you're so young and brilliant and superior based upon your VAST experience and education, right? This should be a slam dunk for you and you get the enjoyment of rubbing our faces in it!
