I guess nowadays it’s “UNC” huh?

But yeah. Judging by people I know and co workers , no one will be using search in a couple years. Gonna be a bad time.

Also I’m curious how many folks on this instance are even under 35! They may not have ever experienced non corporate internet …

    Now see…star trek is so timeless that I can’t tell if you’re a legit boomer, or just watch old tv.

    I mean, I’m only 42, but I grew up with Get Smart, and Gilligans Island. I still say the smartest thing the professor ever did was intentionally not getting off the island.

    Think about it. The Howells were incredibly awful people, but they never dared trying to change the status quo.

    The skipper was out of shape, and always angry, and prone to violence.

    Gilligan was in shape, but mentally something wasn’t right. He often had the maturity of a child.

    So that just left the professor on a desserted island with Ginger and Mary-Anne. On an island where no male was hotter than him, nobody smarter than him. Essentially he’s the most attractive person, and the only real option for two hot women. One of which is a legit movie star.

    He has no debt. He has no bills. He has no responsibilities. On an island where he’s the alpha. All he’s gotta do is convince these dummies that he’s making transistor radios out of bamboo and coconuts. Somehow.

    Why WOULD he want to be rescued? Back home he’s just one professor of many, with no options. Here he has his own hutt, two hotties, and two goons who gather resources for him. He just has to tolerate these two rich fuckwits. And if thats the worst part of your life, then life is going pretty great.

      Nice Gilligan’s Island analysis, now I’m questioning the Professor’s motives.

      I’m an early millennial, too, with boomer parents. Old TV is good IMO (‘and loving it!’).

      I grew up on similar shows. TNG was my first Star Trek. I did eventually watch all of TOS when Hulu first emerged as a free online streaming service. My favorite is City on the Edge of Forever.
