When I begun to read the timeline in the late 2009,there were posts that now don't exist anymore but many others continue to be a part of the timeline.(Wjfox must remember these posts):

-When I begun to read the site,there were a post saying that in 2100 the GDP per capita would be about $100000 but it don't exist anymore;

-There was a post saying that in the year 100.000.000 AD,humans would no longer exist and none of them would be alive;

-In the post of 2100 talking about humans merging their intelligent with machines,it was written that we would erase bad memories from the brain,like a hard disk.Do you remember that?

-A post saying that in 2044 zettabyte SD cards would be available on the market-it was eliminated;

-A post saying that in 2029 for the first time a machine would pass in the turing test;

-The intruduction of the timeline was changed.Thre was a paragraph written:"Science and technology in the 22nd century reach levels of development that would be beyond the comprehension of 20th observers.Quantum teleportation;direct matter-to-energy conversion;femto-scale engineering;spectacular VR environments;radical new materials and substances derived from automated evolution;nano-scale robots for a whole range of applications;biotechnology and genetics able to cure almost every ailment imagineable...in the 22nd century it seems literally anything is possible".Do you remember that?

-Recently he eliminated the post of 2042 talking about the nanobot swarms that will be used by the military...

That's strange!I can't see the post in my computer!

Besides,I wanna know why wjfox eliminated that posts...

Well, the GDP per capita thing got taken off because the timeline mentions global currency and resource based economies beforehand, and I think that was written before some of the really catastrophic stuff got added.

The 2042 stuff had references that didn't really offer any kind of future date.

That's about all I know.

The timeline isn't static or set in stone. It's gradually evolving as I expand the content. It's inevitable that some things will get changed around, updated or deleted. There are some entries which either don't have adequate references, or simply don't "fit" with the rest of the timeline anymore.
