I think I used to say these things when I was running agencies. Developing websites and the like.
Futureproof. And foolproof.
Which is daft really because nothing’s foolproof. Some fool will get it wrong.
And nothing’s futureproof either. Not even the future. Because none of us know exactly what’s going to happen. So how the divvel can we legislate absolutely for something we don’t know?
Fools and futures. It’s best not to second guess either.
I’d put such hyperbole in the same camp as saying, ‘The perfect gift for…’ (It’s Christmas, you’ll see this a lot). Because no Christmas present is perfect for any one mum, dad, wife, husband or granny.
Anyhow, it’s just a small point. I think. I just think it’s best to avoid such chatter. Because none of it is actually true. And if the the first thing anyone says isn’t true, there’s doubt already. “What else are they saying that’s exaggerated or inaccurate?”
Fools and futures. It’s best not to second guess either.
