Found this amusing... on the verge of thought provoking

It is kind of weird to think that what we have now is all there is to the internet, and I think there is more to it. Just wonderng what you people thought of that article...

[rhsunderground]

that was most interesting. one wonders if what we're doing here in this forum will someday be looked at like us looking at the first computers that are now less powerful than some of the watches available on the market...:confused:

[Ben Rogers]

Yeah.. it's hard to imagine what else (besides games) can be done on the internet... like automation, and robots (actually a possibility, although by now it sounds cheesy.)- lol maybe one day we'd have school from our one houses via broadcast ;)

for a while now there are kids in austrailia that do at least some of their school by radio.

[Ben Rogers]

Really? That's pretty weird for me.. but then again, i live in "suburbia", and take a bus.

[rhsunderground]

You think that's special? I can wake up and be at school in under 45 seconds. :cool:

I can wake up and be there immediatly when I take my naps in 3rd period.

[rhsunderground]

ooo............ouch. but how far do you have to drive?

[Ben Rogers]

lol... i can be there immediately, and then go home, when i fall asleep in 8th period and get woken up by the bell! Beat that :D

It's about a 15 minute drive, btw.

[iniquity101]

how many periods do you have a day?

[Ben Rogers]

8 periods. in case you're interested, lol, I'm in 7th grade, and 8th period is directed study... so you can do your homework or whatever. I go down to the library (we have one inside the school, its a lot nicer than the rest of the school.) with whoever wants to go there for as much of the period as i can; the librarian lets you to talk, but if you're too loud she'll ban you for a week. im not kidding. then for the last 5 minutes of school i go back and... well... fall asleep.

[PeOfEo]

4 a day, 8 classes total, days rotate from a day to b day.

[Ben Rogers]

You do that too, huh? We have a, b, and c days, because we have 3 different "specials"... what grade are u in anyways?.. i didnt even think u went to school anymore lol

[PeOfEo]

11th, you can look at when i was born in my profile lol.

[rhsunderground]

we have 8 periods in the day, but last semester i was signed up for....12 classes and i had an open period. that was fun.

[Ben Rogers]

I don't associate school and fun, but that's just me.

[Sam]

It depends on the class allow me to demonstrate:

if($class=="Calculus"||$class=="Advanced Programming"){
echo "Amazingly Fun";
}
elseif($class=="Economics"||$class=="Art"){
echo "Moderately Boring";
}
elseif($class="English"){
echo "Utterly Pointless";
}

[Ben Rogers]

Gah! You suck! We don't have Advanced Programming... and we're doing" Pre Algebra"... but then again I guess you're all done with that.
Actually, English and Art are pretty good. I'm an OK artist and I don't mind writing, as long as its fiction. I guess we just have different tastes there However, I don't have anything networthy, nor do I have a scanner, so that's pretty useless for my site.... :-\

here's mine:
<script>
var class=periodOf(day)
function school {
if {class=='spanish'} (do(homework))
else {
do(whatever);
self.location='asleep'
}
}
