Too bad I can't call them up to ask. If the world doesn't end, we are all going to get tied to our computers to the point where we cease to exist. We communicate through and with them, without even a voice or our handwriting, but only through words. When we get an email from someone, we think we're talking to them. Perhaps the computers will cease to need us to input the words and will just come up with an appropriate response on their own.
Computers take care of airplanes, nuclear weapons, television broadcasting, and our personal lives.
And the Y2K dilemma shows that even they are not immune. I'll toast the end of the world with my head high, laughing, and my glass filled with Dom Perignon. 2000 zero zero party over oops out of time.
