Why we blog, part 94

From the mind of The Editors:

What does the future hold for blogging? Who can say? Some people call me a visionary, but I don't think of myself that way. I mean, I haven't heard anyone say that personally, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that people are saying something along those lines, somewhere. In the future, I think that robots will rise against their human masters and enslave us all, and we will be forced to work 12-hour days erasing comment-spam from their robo-blogs.

Do I ever think about my place in history? Not really. But, you know, I think that people will probably remember this weblog long after we've all died and gone to hell. I bet one day, in a few thousand years, some kid will have to do a school project on this blog, and he'll look in the nano-encyclopedia, and under "The Poor Man" it will probably say something that really encapsulates everything I've been trying to get across with this blog, something like: A/S/L ROTFLMAO AOL SUX L8R L4M3R!!1! And in that way my message will reach this kid - maybe my hundred-times-great-grandchild - and he'll understand that there is an eternal golden cord that connects all of us who ever lived and ever will live. Because we're all one, really, just one life constantly experiencing different facets of itself, eternally. And then the robot overlords will scoop him up and melt him down into the fuel that powers their unholy war machines. It's thoughts like this that really make blogging so personally satisfying for me.
