The Final Email

I've been lazy lately on HWT. Again. But, I have been here reading and listening to radio shows. The past few days have been emotional with what I've read. Fae's sharing her abuse story made me cry. And I think perhaps I needed to cry. I just wish those tears I shed hadn't been due to the horrors a member had to experience as a child and young adult. Because I wish her life had been beautiful and not a horror show of abuse.

Today I decided to refocus my attention to curiosities and conundrums and away from violence.  Do you know technology basically advances near daily. What was a fad and exciting 20 years ago is now archaic. The first floppy disk, an 8 inch from the 60s made way for 51/4 then a 31/2 back in mid 70s to early 80s. Hard drives in computers began taking precedence over floppy although home computers had the floopy drives for them. Then just about the time people got use to the BIOS and discovering more about less than user-friendly programs along came help. As did the insurgence of CD-Roms. Now we have DVD. Ah, the happiness of home computers and laptop users. During all this 20-year technology upgrades’ email was prominent as a way to communicate with others across this country and other countries. Now, God Bless internet and the whiz brain Geeks, we have Facebook and Twitter. Emails are becoming a thing of the past and along with it, less and less privacy. Everything is public. Life is all about daily status for all the cyber friends to see along with their friends and so on. Don’t be surprised if email becomes obsolete. You need an email address before you can sign up on forums, facebook, twitter etc.. But, again, do not be surprised my friend if email goes by way of floppy disk and all you’ll need is one web address be active on the wide world web. After all, how often do you email these days? The purpose of all this sad memory lane is because I was wondering what I’d say in my final email if they really become obsolete. That is if it happens in my lifetime. Whom would I send that final email to? Then it hit me, what if I said something that hundreds of years from now when our era is being dug up on the internet and analyzed would make the person who discovers me wonder who I was. What did I do on the internet etc.. I’d want them to be curious enough to see if my email was answered by the person it was sent to. I want them to ask and wonder and dig for information on me. So, here is what I’d say in my final email..... (I’d use my real email address and the sent to person’s real one too of course not the made up one I use here)
