We have a winner!
We asked you to write about "the future as imagined in the past" in the form of a comment to this post....and the winner is:
"
I figure it'll turn up. This is attempt #2. Let me know when you get this, because I've got to do some Christmas shopping soon. I can't trade in my gold bars for extra Christmas shopping cash since Nixon closed the gold window a few months ago, you know. Ha! I figured for the ceremonial first attempt, I'd write a grand message about how weird things would be decades into the future. So I wrote a message about how people will cook food with invisible micro rays and talk to each other with telephones the size of a stick of gum. What else - something about entire computers small enough to fit on top of your desk and everybody has one and uses it to talk to each other. Oh, and the Red Sox will win the world series. Twice! You know I love my Sox!
If I don't hear from you about this electronic mail, I'll call you like I did after the first try. I figure that message is off somewhere. Curling through circuits, the electrons still properly ordered, weaving its way through carpet static and car-door shocks. Someday it'll arrive on a machine that renders my crazy message to those living in the future itself. I know it can't have just disappeared down into this machine, as advanced as it is. It's out there somewhere. It'll turn up.
