Dictionary Updates - Year 2050

Gail R DeBole Written on 7/12/2021 The committee’s task was to remove Word-fossils from dictionaries no longer used. These were concepts no longer respected By a society that was less introspective. “Privacy” was a concept frowned upon. Social media had turned the world around. To be “private” was now a criminal offense. Not being transparent made others quite tense. Discretion was an idea that no longer applied Since every move someone made was video-fried Onto public storage and could be referred to at will by everyone certified with an info-access skill. Oh, there were a few protesters older than most. The same people who still used a toaster for toast. The upcoming genos – younger and hipper than most Removed words representing concepts that were now ghosts.
