I was supposed to write a RT2 devblog today, but I can’t really remember what I did this week. I think I made 1 or 2 levels. The rest of the time was spent on FF12.

Anyway, on to topic. I have been thinking about the internet lately.

With Web 2.0 we are leaving pieces of ourselves all over the internet. We are posting on forums, and if you are like me, on several of them. We are apart of at least 1 social network and we litter the net with who we are. We write blogs, we upload videos to YouTube. We do countless things. Some lesser known forums and websites might fade with time, never to be seen, except in the Internet Wayback Machine.

But… Most prominent websites like YouTube, and several other social networks will most likely still be around when our children pave their way onto the internet.

With our generation, the only info we really have about our parents are stories, photos, letters and that kind of stuff. We don’t “really” know what they were like a few decades back.

Our children, who will grow up with the internet will easily be able to google us and see what kind of things we said when we were in our teens and mid-twenties for example. We are the first generation that will leave behind a considerable footprint on the internet.

I can only imagine how cool it would be to google my parents and see their MySpace profiles and seeing them act like they were so “cool”. Imagine the videos?

P.S. Hi future kids! Got some dirt on me now?
