While the mystery and controversy over the John Titor issue has never resolved his claims to being a time traveler, it has served to demonstrate the power and reach of the Internet.

m THE FUTURE?

What began as a series of anonymous postings to some bulletin boards soon became an Internet phenomenon.

Although most were quick to brand his story a total hoax, his detailed descriptions of a grim and desolate future fascinated many Net surfers. Perhaps he articulated many of our own hidden fears. In any case, the John Titor story quickly spread. By mid-2004, almost 50 websites were devoted to his story.

The messages initially were signed simply “Timetravel_0” but after January 2001, when the postings began to appear on some Art Bell forums which required a name, the name John Titor came into use. During one exchange, Titor was asked point blank if John Titor was his real name. His reply, “John Titor is a real name,”

did not provide a definitive answer.

In short, Titor claimed to be a soldier living in 2036 Florida who was sent by the military via a time machine back to our time to obtain an IBM 5100 computer.

He said this older model was needed to correct software problems in his time as the 5100 had the ability to use old IBM code to reconcile incompatible programming languages of the future.

His most astounding claim was that the United States, having fallen into a civil war beginning in 2004, will be devastated by a nuclear war in 2015. Most major cities will be destroyed and the nation will be split into five separate divisions, each with its own president.

Titor stated he made a stop in the year 2000 to visit family members and collect photographs lost in the civil war. He said he also felt compelled to warn people about the coming wars as well as their diet.

He said many lives will be lost in his future through Creutzfeldt-Jakob Dis-iTOR CO

ease (CJD), today a rare but incurable degenerative brain disorder which leads to loss of brain function and death. Some researchers have compared Creutzfeldt-Jakob to the current growth of Alzheimer’s patients. It is a disease from infectious particles of m

protein (prions) comparable to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) commonly E FRO

known as Mad Cow Disease.
