Bonus Content! Douglas Adams: Nostradamus of Tech
I just finished reading “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” last night (see my review on the Book Reviews tab). I realized something.
Douglas Adams is a genius.
Yes his great writing and incredible faculty for humor make that a given.
But there’s something else…
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is described as a small device with a screen, with many buttons along the bottom, that at a touch can give you any information you require, and contains within it’s memory millions of pages. It will even read the information to you. Is this ringing a bell to anyone?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide was contained on a Kindle 2. Douglas Adam’s called the existence of the world’s greatest e-reader 30 years ago.
So, does anyone know where I can find a copy of a “Don’t Panic” bumper sticker? I’d like to proudly display it on my Kindle when it arrives February 26th. I’ll post pictures of the unboxing, and the subsequent decoration!
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
