The New York Times, 31 Years From Now

…will look like the image below (after the jump), if you believe their own ad that opens up and covers the entire web page of NYtimes.com when you first visit it.

It’s actually an ad for Intel, which – unlike most ad campaigns – brings a couple of interesting insights into what the chip maker is planning for our future (it does not, however, make much mention of the $3.8 billion they might be forced to cough up in their immediate future.)

Without going into deep analysis of the ad – it is, after all, only an ad – it does have a couple of interesting/funny details. Besides the notion that the NYTimes will be around in 31 years, which I hope it will, you can also catch a glimpse of Dow Jones at 56,023, android athletes and diplomat dolphins, but very little in the way of interactivity or social features, I’m afraid.
