I got a spam today. The subject heading said "Read me!"
I've turned off "auto-load images" in Mail, so there's no harm in opening spam - it won't phone home, via web bugs, and tell the spammers that I've read the message. So I opened it. It had a link that said "Click me!"
My immediate response was "Bite me!" and I deleted the fucker.
Then I got to thinking. In the future, we'll have a post-scarcity society where we all have machines that get build pretty much anything out of a raw supply of nutrients with the right recipe (we already have machines that can build fairly complex 3D objects out of sugar, using updated inkjet technology). They'll be connected to the Internet (or its equivalent), and I'm pretty sure we'll get spam. Like, say, a tasty cupcake popping out of the machine with a label saying "Eat me!"
Alice in Wonderland spam. I can't wait.
