Generational confusion

[Marek]

From a press release issued yesterday: "Xbox®, the future generation video game system from Microsoft".

A future generation? I thought it was the current generation. Though before Xbox was launched, it was the next generation. But if Microsoft says the current generation is the future generation, what should we call Xbox2? Argh!

Post-Future Generation®!!

And then after that comes the Neo-next Generation® followed by Post-Neo-Next Generation®, and then, right before the world ends, they'll come up with the Ultimate Generation®. I don't see what's so complicated about the whole nomencalture. It is quite intuitive.

You're all sooooooo wrong.

It's going to be the Xtreme Generation

And you are sooo cliche!

After the Ultimate Generation® the memory of the good olden days of the Future Genration® will be at a high point and that is where the Neo-Future Generation® comes in.

Wait a minute. I was going to post almost that, but decided not to. I was definitely going to mention the nostalgia of the good olden days. You scare me.
