Conversation between me, today, and me, circa March 2006:
“Hey Frank, it’s me, Frank, but from the future — 2009! I wanted to tell you a few important things. All these Web 2.0, social networking sites, and mash-ups are going to to make a ton of money in the markets, but they’ll lose most of it. There’s also a global recession on, so buy up now but dump all your stocks and mutual funds to cash or CDs by early 2008.”
“…”
“By 2009 half the people you know will be tweeting regularly!”
“TWEETING?”
“Oh, never mind.”
