(You should probably read 'The Future is Not Orange, It is Blue and Flickery' before you read this one, since this is a follow on of sorts).
So we know that communications are going to suck in the future. Sound becomes video becomes hologram, and nobody has ever seen that working properly.
If we follow the same evolutionary line of thinking for personal portable music players we run into the same kind of trouble. The sound part has been done many different ways; cassette, CD, Mini Disc (glad I never got one of those!) and now MPeg3. Once we introduce the sound and visuals, we move on to MPeg4. Many of you already have devices with this capacity.
But what about sound and hologram technology?Wouldn't that be MPeg5? Now where have I seen a portable device that can play sound and holograms? Mmm, let me think....
I know! R2 D2! That's it! R2 D2 is an MP5 player!
Compared to an iPod Classic, R2 D2 is a little on the bulky size. You couldn't wrestle him to the top of a 56A bus. Granted, he has to be that size so that Kenny Baker could fit inside, but still...
Things look even bleaker when we think about how much holodata R2 D2 could actually store.
Help me Obi Wan... You're my only hope is about the same length as Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake the tree. You'd have to really like the song to bother. At least you could loop it...
Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake the tree.
Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple, shake...
Agadoo doo doo, push pineapple...
Agadoo doo doo, push...
Agadoo doo doo...
Agadoo.

help me agadoo...you're my only hope! - jayzus...if those lads turned up I think i'd be screaming for the Chuckle Brothers instead...
ReplyDeleteNope, these are all retro external devices... implants is what'll happen. And when you get a glitch, which is inevitable, it'll be agadoo in your head constantly while you slowly go insane. No control, alt, delete either... just some remote technician who's too busy jerking off to notice the little red blinking light.... because there will always be little red blinking lights!
