Things Will Only Get Better (as We Go Backwards)
D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better (1993) (Official Video)
The year is 2026
You buy the same appliances over and over again
50ml is enough for a toothpaste tube
Music is computer-generated slop
And memory prices resemble the price of toner for inkjets
Fast backward
The year is 2021
You're not allowed to get near to other people
Public gatherings like protests are forbidden
Presidents in a democracy rally people to attack the
government
You are told to stream music and own nothing
Fast backward
The year is 2016
Elections are outsourced to Windows with back doors
Referendum managed by GAFAM (Cambridge Analytica)
All you need for E-mail is Google or Microsoft
Laptops don't need storage anymore, they have "the cloud"
Fast backward
The year is 2011
You no longer receive a plastic bag for your groceries
They tell you to 'upskill' and become your own checkout
worker
Banks are "apps"
TVs are
billboards for ads
Fast backward
And on it goes.
It only gets better. If you go back in time. █
