Chapter: Comic
I never had a globe at home but I was always fascinated with the ones I would see in school. One of the interesting things was learning about countries that I had never heard of before. This is because they were all hopelessly out of date. I imagine at some point some company tried to start a globe subscription club where they would send you a new skin to pop over the sphere once a year. Yet another industry killed by the internet.
Today’s Biff works it out.
Around the globe in a fraction of a second! And no body cavity searches either!
I have to keep track of where’s where for work. It’s funny when you ask a group of librarians how to spell a country name then have to explain what country it used to be last week, “oh yeah that place!”
Now you’ve got me thinking about some sort of Internet Globe, which is like one big spherical graphical display of some variety. It would be great for globe-related visualisations 😀
You mean like this? Or a bit less expensive? Or rather from Microsoft?
Nobody heard the countless tiny screams of countless tiny people suffering countless tiny cases of nausea.
