Start prepping for some strategic tech investments.
Butterfly effect, your investments changes the fate of the companies you invest in.
GOOD, i didn’t want those companies to succeed anyway
In terms of the global economy I doubt any of us could raise enough capital to impact corporate strategy
Go online, just like I did back then. I’ve been online before the web. And it was more fun. And no ads.
I didn’t go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.
At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. ;-)
For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.
Take my routine morning shit. But instead of my phone I’m reading the label on the back of any bottle I can reach from the throne.
What was I doing in 1995?
I would wake up, pour some Frosted Flakes and play Donkey Kong Country.
What would I do now?
Go outside and take a slow walk through my old neighborhood and probably cry.
Invest in Apple.
Fire up my PC and hit the dial up to check my email and BBS’s.
Also go outside to grab my paper to read the comics first.
None of you said, “prevent 9/11.” For shame.
I woke up
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up
Then I went right back to bed
Make coffee?
Use my current knowledge of memory-safe system languages to invent D before Walter Bright, but without the garbage collection.
Go back to sleep
1995? Springer and the price is right in the morning (Bob Barker baby!) then Aladdin, Batman/Superman, Animaniacs and the Simpsons in the afternoon.
In-between all that we get 90s commercials!
holy cow, I lived the afternoon half of that
Please tell me it’s Friday, because that means the evening is Family Matters or Sliders, Boy Meets World, Step by Step, and Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper.
I’d walk out to the street then light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet.
I’d probably try to find a reason where everything went wrong. I’d really like to find a reason why my money is all gone.
Go into a lab and start researching time travel. Proving to scientist that I’m from the future shouldn’t be that hard.
That’s 29 years ago. Eeryone I know is as good as dead. I need to find a way to go back
Back to usenet.
