Cyber Times

Here is a website called Cyber Times that takes various snippets of pop culture and updates them (in terms of old nomenclature versus current nomenclature, which can either be real or imagined) for modern times or states their (real or imagined) modern equivalent. It is maintained by Barry Wellman of social networks fame.

Examples:

"Collage" -> "Mash-Up"

"Courier" -> "Times New Roman" (I think this one is accurate; take a look at some old newspapers.)''

"Heard around the water cooler" -> "Read on a blog"

"Junk Mail" -> "Spam"

"OED" -> "dictionary.com"

"Pravda" -> "Fox News" (my personal favorite so far)



This website is really long and I only glanced at it for a few minutes, but if there are more Pravda/Fox News gems, then I'm going to have to take a longer look at some point. (Many of the items are dumb, but some of them are highly amusing.)
