I must say, the Iwww of this time is rather fascinating. How often it is used for advertising, deceit and anger is rather astounding. It is well known that the era you all live in is not an all too pleasant one but I never actually witnessed this before.
This is not to say that my own time is entirely peaceful. As I stated in my first blog, the Conserves are becoming increasingly aggressive. When I was growing up they did nothing more than voice their disagreements with our utilization of technology. They would broadcast in way corners (this being somewhat similar to a street corner in your time) that born selects were abominations of the UniGod. That anyone who used bio-mechanical implants or enhancements were disgracing His design.
But in the last few years they have gone so far as to being attacking those of us who are enhanced. They have given us all a common name, 'twink.' (thus where my login name is derived) This name is supposed to upset us but it does not. It is nothing but a word. But the anger and violence that they have grown accustome to is nothing short of evidence that the natural born lack reasoning skills and are to quick to ride the back of their emotions.They have even abolished the dying from their Turks (Conserve church/temple/mosque) and communities who have done nothing but seek means to prolong their life or even something so simple as to end their suffering.
I knew a boy in my formative years that lived in the lower levels I used to walk through. I would speak to him every few days out of courtesy. He was of a higher calliber than most natural born and was able to hold a conversation with me better than most citizens. But a tragedy befell him.
He fell down some sanitiation piping and was stripped of all his limbs but one and left in excruciating pain. He would not have lived had it not been for the bio implants and mechanical heart that were set in place a few minutes after his fall. But because he is no longer "pure" despite having been saved from suffering for days and being saved from death, he is no longer permitted to speak with his family.
It is not that the Turk and the Conserves do not allow his family, which they do not, but that his family even agrees with this. They will not longer admit he was a member of their family nor that he any longer exists.
The Conserves are cruel and resemble peoples of much earlier societies, surpassing those earlier than yours, the reader who is of the early 21st century. It is not my place to pass judgement on others, I am not The Machina. But they try to instill these attrocities on everyone. Originally by persuation, then manipulation and now they opt to use force.
I do wish it was legal to travel to the future or even have one of the residents of future times bestow the knowledge on me that the Conserves will one day be subdued. This is surely the future or else we would not have these travelers. But of what time they hail from is left unsaid. It pains me; the fear that one day the Conserves may become more prevelent. That they may become even more violent.
Forgive me for my rant. Q is ready to leave. We are to go see a qwarts this evening. It should be splended.

Greetings!
I come to you today from my brother's Seminar in 2682. To avoid confusion, seminar is the equivalent to your modern time colleges. The primary difference being that our "colleges" house students ranging in age from 8-14. Graduation is no longer a practice. Education and schooling continue from birth through death. the journey of which I will leave to explain at a later time. He is a master of Recent World History. Thus why he attends Seminar in a much earlier time than our own.
You may be wondering how it is one can study a time in which time machines must already be present and therefor making it no different than our own. This would be a common misconception that our youngest children are guilty of believing.
As a collective humanity, we practice time conservation. We travel and visit times before and ahead of our own. However, we reside only in the time we were born to, living in the proper chronology. If we vacation or visit another time and stay for 12 days, we return 12 days after we left our own time. Seminar and Pre Seminar teach only what is relevant to that time period. Thus, my brother attends Seminar during this earlier period.
The only time we allow residents of a select time period to transfer residency to a different time period is when that time period is due for any type of natural disaster that threatens humanity's survival. Even then, the furthest ahead they may transfer residence is to the nearest time period stable enough for humans to survive. As confusing as this gap of humanity may appear, it is quite simple when you live with time travel. It is not something I am willing or even allowed to explain. Even speaking of time travel technology being a possibility is a gray area in our laws and only allowed because we are permitted to transmit to earlier times openly as a resident of our own time thus in and of itself proving time travel exists.
Anyways, I should be off now. My brother is waiting on me. We are to go back to our resident time and meet Q and her sister for some food.
Greetings. My name is Fizgal Erowin Smithson. You may call me Fiz. I am a 20 year old male by your standards. I am broadcasting these messages from a distant future from when you are now. The year is 3082 based on the calender in use during the time you are viewing this. I am able to broadcast to you through means of a recently developed technology that allows modern day citizens and selects to access what you refer to as the world wide web (or www) throughout history; viewing and browsing as if we were accessing the www during that time. This we call instanced world wide web (or Iwww).
The Machina have not established any laws preventing a select from performing an act such as this. They do limit citizens from interaction of any kind through Iwww. There are also laws preventing a select from referencing any events that have occurred before year 3000. So please, if you come across this broadcast do refrain from asking questions pertaining to your immanent future. I can however discuss events current to myself and anything applicable to my current time.
Things are very different in my time from yours. Human beings no longer govern themselves but by The Machina. The easiest way for me to explain The Machina is to say they are infinitely more advanced than any machine to be witnessed or seen in your time. They are a species governed solely by logic and reason that is undeniably and unarguably pure and true. This is precisely why The Machina now control the governments. You can see now in your own time what tragedies and atrocities occur when man attempts to govern himself.
There is also a single and absolute government. There are no countries, stated, provinces, colonies, etc etc. There are however still any languages used throughout our tiny planet. The primary being a modern(to my time) derivative of the ancient Latin and Mandarin languages with a character set very similar to Mandarin. I would provide you an example but this is not only illegal but also not supported nor recognized by this or any other website available to your time.
You may be wondering the difference between the aforementioned citizens and select. A citizen is any living human being. It is granted by default to any naturally born human child. Citizens tend to be of the lower tiers of society. This is primarily due to the nature of their birth, that being a natural one. This practice tends to grant these children with a lower intellect, diminished reasoning skills and above normal emotional behavior. There are exceptions of course. A naturally born citizen may eventually be granted the class of a select if that individual proves that he/she is of the caliber of a typical select.
A select is an individual of higher intellect and class. Selects tend to be of the higher tiers of society. In your time these would generally be the teachers, scientists and (very selective) politicians. We are typically born through Factory. We do have one mother and one father who we are granted to once we reach the age of 6 but we are cycled through an advanced filtration system. We would be the equivalent albeit much more advanced version of your modern time test tube babies. It is because of this that we are endowed with a natural ability to process many times over the amount of information a citizen can. We are also superior in every physical aspect.

The times now are becoming rough. The Conserves are becoming increasingly aggressive and have almost gone in to hiding in their entirety. The Conserves are self proclaimed 'liberators.' In actuality, they are nothing more than opponents of progress. They fight anything that pushes society further into the future. They have even gone so far as to set up their own internal hierarchy consisting of men. The strive to revert society to more primitive times, similar to yours. They are worshipers of the UniGod. I know very little about this UniGod. What I do know is that it is supposed to be the ultimate power controlling our Universe.
They have tried many times over to abolish time travel. Why I do not know, it has brought us great fortune. We now live in a time with no barriers. We vacation not only to where but when. To answer the inevitable question, we do not travel to your time outside of Iwww. It is impossible to travel back beyond the first 'Time Machine' unless one does not wish to return.
I must be off now. I have seminar to attend and I do not wish to be late. Q is going to be there and I will not be able to sit with her if I am late.
