"Future Influencer" is an unconventional sci-fi adventure where humanity and AI join forces to paint images of the future. Each episode of this light-hearted journey will tickle your imagination and offer a much-needed dose of fun in our ever-evolving digital age. So, why not come along for the ride?
After a couple of seconds, the world outside started to slow, and we glided to a stop. The speaker box announced, “Welcome to the Cyberspace Museum of New Things, thanks for riding McMass-Transportation.” Clippy and I climbed out of the transport pod and looked at a humongous museum. In awe, I whispered over my shoulder, “Is that Buckingham Palace?”
Clippy launched into an explanation, “Well, it was Buckingham Palace. When Queen Elizabeth II eventually passed, someone figured out we could replace her with a CGI character. We already had Paddington Bear, Thanos, and Gollum; why not the Queen? It was cheaper; we didn’t need allowances for all those family members and no more scandals. When she’s required, speech writers hammer out a few words, and then she gets projected into parliament or wherever they need a bit of ceremony.
We didn’t need Buckingham as a palace anymore, so it became a giant Museum. The system makes access to royalty much more egalitarian; it’s incredibly modern. Visitors to the Museum can even have tea with the Queen; it costs a little more than a regular ticket, but she gets projected right alongside you at the dining table.”

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that supports this place - thank you.
