I haven’t been around for very long
But a lot has changed in my time
I believe in racial equality
I believe in gender equality
But to me, blacks are still blacks
Salesmen are still salesmen
I use Netflix on a daily basis
To rent DVDs and stream movies
But I still remember having to be kind
And rewind tapes
Computers were once new, scary and confusing
It took forever to get on the internet…
Assuming nobody was using the phone
Now I can pull up a world of information
Anything I want can be reached in a few clicks
I can even make a call at the same time
The year 2000 once sounded so futuristic
We were going to have flying cars and hoverboards
Space travel would be as common as air travel
Now 2000 is history
But I never predicted iPhones or blu rays
We didn’t miss out on the future
It just came in a different package
So…how will things change?
I’ve replaced all my VHS tapes with DVDs
And I’ve replaced some of DVDs with Blu Rays
Will terms like Native American become offensive?
I can fit all the information in the known universe
On a hard drive that fits on a key chain
Where do we go from there?
