The Rosetta stone of the future is going to be when someone finds a hard disk with C source code to UNRAR/UNARJ

Also, let's not forget about hard drive protocols:

The list of "Standards" there is pretty long, no? And SCSI drives make up only a small part of the mass storage devices we have.

Does anyone else feel like we are living right on the crux of ultramodernity, here in 2006? Or does everyone think that, regardless of what year they are in??

Technology has been advancing at a ridiculous rate for the past few decades, and we have quite a lot of stuff that looks like it's from the future. I don't think they could say that 1487.

I'm about to blow your mind:

What if the Jetsons are actually the post-nuclear apocalypse descendents of the Flintstones?
