    Anyone else find it really weird reading people's posting that are 10 or even 15 years old?

    Was just reading some song lyric sites that had feedback posts at the bottom - find it strange how some of the posters are in their late 20's or 30's now, I wonder if they remember posting or if they have changed their views (not talking about the trolls etc, but people that were trying their utmost to say something with meaning).

    Like most of us, I grew up with the web, and have been used to it being a 'new' medium - transpires its not anymore.

    I don't know any other medium that is open to the public where little snippets of people lives and views are time capsuled in this way.

    Doesn't make me feel old, just makes me think.

    When we are all old and grey or older as some are already grey on 2027 we will be sitting with our virtual web devices on TLB saying "that jumping bus jump has already been posted by so and so in 2011 don't you know" and then we will be sitting here looking at a 1000 picture post of Chrisradiomans wheeled zimmer with trailer and Rickyroo will still be considered a @hailfrank :lol: but this time it will be his pants that are poo coloured. Love ya Ricky ;)
