2069: a spam tale

March 25, 2005

This is an Internet-age tale; acronyms and things alike won't be explained next to them, between parentheses, but rather using <acronym> tags -- in case of doubt, hover your mouse over the dot-underlined words. JoÃ£o.

~~Once upon a time,~~

I -
Year: 2069. Imagine a world where paper was considered a primitive chinese invention, a mere museum part; every document was now digitally transmitted, whether it was the daily news (TV is abbolished, and every newsbreak was issued by the central governement), a birth certificate, a death certificate, an arrest warrant … or a medical perscription. That world is now called Digitalia – the name Earth was deprecated.
In Digitalia, you will go to the doctor, he will examine you, and, at the moment of issuing you a medical perscription, he will pass your DID card in a specific reader everyone must have, and a digitally signed perscription would be directly sent to your ODI. When you go to the pharmacy, you just present your DID card and your perscription will be instantly retrieved from your ODI. Every person’s ODI was available from any scanner in any part of Digitalia, provided that specific person’s DID card – you could even check out your own ODI at home, using your scanner and a standard IMAP e-mail client.

Spam - what a pain, I dealt with mine this morning, I must have had 10 emails over two email accounts telling me that my Bank account details were incorrect for banks I don’t have accounts with. At least if they’re going to try and con me out of my savings, they could try a little harder, and get the right bank for a start. What sort of person falls for that kind of scam anyway? I’m glad I’ve got SpamAssasin installed! What’s the fun in sending out emails telling people that they can get their Xanax cheap, what is Xanax anyway? No, I don’t think I want to know. Don’t let me get started on comment Spam- online casino this, online casino that. Do I care?
