Movie quotes? Come on, bring some real ammo. People have known the Earth was round since at least the time of Aristotle... construct a real arguement that hasn't been "proven" by Hollywood.
I love the literalism exhibited by Engadget commenters. Think about the point RandomThoughts was making, not the method used to make that point.
At some time in the past, people thought [insert idea here], but we now accept that idea as ridiculous because we have made many discoveries since that time.
Why will this be any different when people look back at the year 2007 from a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years in the future?
Maybe someone will be having an argument on the Engadget of their time and point out how funny it is that in the early 21st Century people still argued over whether artificial intelligence was possible. Haw haw, those ignorant people from the past with their constant use of primitive 'computers' and 'cellphones'.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
