WARNING
Hello, future people! My name is Henry Lutts, and I am writing this in July 2012. I made this infographic
for Net Atlantic, Inc. as part 2 in a series of three infographics. If you can read this, why not send me
an email and tell me what you think? If I’m still alive by the time you read this, I’d love to hear your feedback.
I can be reached at henrylutts@mac.com... unless it’s so far in the future that email doesn’t exist any more.
But if that’s the case, why would you even be reading this?
