This clip from College Humor, 24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot, is hilarious and makes me appreciate the abundance of great new technologies that the last decade has brought us. The video features many recent and familiar, yet shockingly antiquated technologies.
Sometimes there’s really no need to argue for free markets, you just need to remember what 1994 was like!
Cord Blomquist / Cord Blomquist spends most of his time pining for the singularity. To pass the time while waiting for this convergence, he serves as the New Media Manager at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Before landing this sweet gig, Cord hocked policy writing for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, toiled in the halls of Congress, and even worked in a crouton factory. In college, Cord spent his hours studying political philosophy and artificial intelligence, resulting in an unhealthy obsession with Lt. Commander Data. All of these activities will, of course, be viewed as laughable when he is ported from this crude meatspace into the nanobot cloud.
