They both can’t believe that people would put the kind of stuff they’re seeing on the internet-why does anyone care what someone else had for breakfast? In this future, Emma lives in Florida, is married to some guy and also unemployed. When they finally get online (45 minutes of installation time later), they find the normal stuff they’d expected, like chat, but they also find this strange page with a blue bar across the top called Facebook.Įmma is able to use the email address she’s just created to log in to Facebook, and she starts seeing her own wall and posts from 15 years in her future. At this point, fewer than half of high school students had been on the internet. They are tentatively reestablishing their friendship now, and Josh brings Emma an AOL trial disk that he got in the mail for her to install on her brand new computer. They’ve been neighbors and best friends forever, or at least until last November when Josh misread some signals and tried to kiss Emma. It is May 1996, and Emma and Josh are juniors in high school.
