What we got was: none of the above, plus the Internet, and powerful computers that we can carry around in a shirt pocket. And texts like this:
Daughter Dearest: Will you bring me some toilet paper?
Can I exchange this future for the one I actually bought?
I don't know if I'd want to exchange for a different future. After all, if it wasn't for the Internet, I wouldn't have met my hubby. Can we keep the internet but exchange something for flying cars?
ReplyDeleteDo you have your receipt? There are no returns, refunds, or exchanges without a receipt. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI knew I was living in the future when I got a text that said, "Dinner is ready." This, instead of the more traditional voice called up the stairs.
ReplyDeleteAh the future is not always as we hoped for. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt's circulating in my generation that we weren't promised flying cars and utopias, but cyberpunk and dystopias. It's more of a bummer to me that I got the future I was promised.
ReplyDeleteThis immediately reminded me of this YouTube video:

Funny how the amazing parts of the future are always "later". Right now we're supposed to get them when we colonise Mars.
It's hard to have a future with flying cars when certain members of Congress want to drag us back to the 1870s.
ReplyDeleteIf all the people disappointed with this future gave each a dollar I think we might be able to fund the building of a time machine.
