    Hey 8-year-old me, I just watched NASA land a giant rover on Mars on my wireless pocket computer. You’re going to like it here in the future.

    I sat at home in Northern Ireland as my iPhone wirelessly streamed live HD footage from California? to my AppleTV which is hooked up to my 40" LCD whilst I had my MacBook running the Eyes on the Solar System app on the Coffee table and finally I was following the MSL thread on the NASA Spaceflight forum on my iPad.

    In 1985 I was using a PR1ME mini computer with a 512Kb 14" removable hard disk that was in a drive as big as a dish washer networked to dumb terminals over RS232?

    Me:
    "Hey 20-year old me I just watched NASA land a giant rover on Mars on my wireless pocket computer, a 40" flat TV, A Laptop Computer and a slate straight out of 2001. You’re going to like it here in the future."

    20-year old me:
    Feck off you weirdo, your old and you smell.

    English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

      Hey 8 year old me: millions of people watched NASA land a giant rover on Mars over their wireless hand held devices and you went to bed early because you forgot when it was going to be broadcast. Pay attention you little twit. 👊

        Hey 8 year old me - I had to go to bed early and didn't get to watch it because I had to wake up at 04:15 for work. Find a job that doesn't make you do that! 😆
