Society. Where are my:

[Lilani]

Where are my jetpacks, flying cars, affordable space ships? Where is my house in space, my underwater city? Where is my moon base and my condo on mars? Where is my NZT [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampakine] (Points if you get the reference) ? And why do we not have optical computers yet?

I figured I'd do this since a video with a similar theme was put up. You have any questions you'd like to add to this?

Looks like somebody got their weekly dose of Moviebob [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/4936-Science], huh?

People would rather have iPads than real technological innovation.

Maybe we're not as advanced as you think? Those things might end up coming true but not for a while?

Dear Society,

Where are my solid gold statues of Paul Stanley?

Bobic

P.S. Live to win, society.

I was so frustrated and degraded when they failed to make those statues. Some said I was obsessive compulsive, but I think it was more that I was feeling effects of confusion and delusion from them killing my dreams in time...


Live to win indeed.

And where's my time machine so I can go back in time and prevent myself from wasting the day playing Fallout NV instead of doing work on my thesis...

This is some future....

So did you just wake up from a coma or something?

Anyway, we've got the iPad, that's just as good, right? Right? *sigh*

Just be glad it didnt go the other way. Robots have yet to take over.
